Jehovah's Witness services are conducted in a calm organised fashion. Members of the congregation are attentive to what is being taught from the platform and do not call out "amens" or shout their opinions out during the service. Agreement are expressed upon request usually by brief clapping/applauding of hands. There is no overtly emotional display of devotion and no arms waving or jumping up and down as is characteristic of many pentecostal and evangelical churches.
During the discouses the audience is invited to follow along in their bibles and many take brief written notes of the points covered. Children are sit with their parents and are helped to concentrate as best they can. The items that invite audience participation are follow a "question answer" format, with the individual taking the lead asking questions and the audience raising their hands before being called upont to express their opinion on the answer.
The services begin and in song ("hymes") and at the closing and opening prayer those in agreement with the sentiments expressed say "Amen" once.
Before and after the service Jehovah's Witneses generally mingle and enjoy fellowship.
