Not sure what you mean by "North star." As for Christmas, witnesses do not celebrate it. This is due to it's pagan origins. When I visited Rome, my tour guide told us about the ancient Roman celebration of the birthday of the pagan god Saturn. She said the Romans celebrated this on December 25, hung lights from trees and partied wildly doing whatever they wanted. The next day they gave presents to each other to make up. When Constantine declared the Roman Empire had become "Christian" they changed Staurns birthday to Jesus birthday and kept mast of the customs. They called it Christmas. Hence, JW's do not celebrate Christmas.

What is an assembly attended by Jehovah's Witnesses?

An assembly for Jehovah's Witnesses is like a Convention. All the Jehovah's Witnesses from a province or area, say the top half of the North Island of New Zealand, will book out a Convention Centre or Sports Stadium and they'll all travel for miles to all be together for 2 - 4 days of talks on subjects of interest to them and to pray. Because JWs are only allowed to associate and marry within JW society it is a good way for the youth to meet more people.

In what part of the world are Jehovah's Witnesses most predominant?

There are a number of ways you can look at this, and I will try to do my best to answer it from as many different standpoints as I can.In St. Helena, the concentration of JW's per resident seems to be the greatest. 1 out of every 35 residents in St. Helena is a JW, according to the 2008 report. But there are only about 4000 residents of St. Helena, so there are only about 115 JW's there.In the US, There are about 1.1 million JW's, which is the highest total number of JW's of any country in the world, but there are several countries that have over a half million witnesses, including Mexico, which actually has a much higher concentration of JW's per population than the US does.Japan has about 25% of the total number of JW's than the US does, but each JW in Japan spends about twice the amount of time in the public preaching work as those in the US.in Tasmania - Actually Tasmania is part of Australia which has 64,815 Jehovah's Witnesses; this works out at a ratio of one Jehovah's Witnesse for every 339 inhabitants.There is a low ratio in Barbados (108), Guadeloupe (53) or Martinique where there is one Witnesses for every 87 inhabitants. It seems therefore that the French Carribean is the most popular area in the World for Jehovah's Witnesse.The lowest ratio of the general population to Jehovah's Witnesses is in Niuean an island dependency of New Zealand in the south-central Pacific Ocean east of Tonga where there is one Jehovah's Witness for every 47 inhabitants.According to the Newspaper Excelsior, the town of Bejucalde Ocampo in southern Mexico has the rare exception of being a town where "the majoroity of [its 6,673] inhabitants are Jehovah's Wtinesses"ACTS 1:8 but YOU will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU, and YOU will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de´a and Sa·mar´i·a and to the most distant part of the earth."
