Roman Catholic AnswerThe only thing that I can find in canon law regarding the witnesses is Canon 1108, section 1, which mentions that a valid marriage is contracted in the presence o fhte local ordinary or the pastor or a priest or deacon delegated by either of the, who assist, and in the presence of two witnesses. Nothing in Canon Law stipulates an age of the witnesses. An age may be set by a local Bishops' Conference or an individual diocese.

No, I am 13, not a good age but was raised a JW since I was born. I ran away from home and left the cult, the restrictions are outrageous and I am studding the religions and comparing them, there thoughts on life, sex, marriage, and anything you can imagine, is deluded. If it is true, let me pay the consequences for my own actions, but I will not abide by the false lies of there congregation. To answer your question. If you don't want to be disfellowshipped then no, but I would leave anyways.ANSWER FROM ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (adult)Yes, of course; Jehovah's Witnesses can attend any ceremony as a guest and not a participant, however some may chose personally not to attend the actuall ceremony since Jehovah's Witnesses to not participate in religious rites that do not agree with their conception of bible teachings.This therefore rests a personal decision.
At what age are catholics excused from not attending mass?
The only age at which a Catholic could be excused from attending Mass would not be a chronological age exactly, but perhaps when one is too old or sick to be able to attend Mass and there is no help available. Otherwise, I should think death would be the only acceptable measure!

Does baby need godparents to be baptized in catholic church?
No........but the baby should have a sponsor IF POSSIBLE. The Sponsor is appointed by the Parents (or Parent), or whoever stands in their place, or failing that, by the Parish Priest or Minister of Baptism. The Sponsor must be at least 16 years of age and a baptised catholic, but in an emergency situation, the age rule can be adjusted but that person must be a baptised catholic. A person of another faith can be a sponsor only if there is a catholic sponsor present as well and only as a witness. There is no mention of god parents grandparents in the Code of Church law relating to baptism.

Is it possible to get married in a Catholic Church if you have not done your First Communion?
One spouse must be Catholic. Here's the reason why: According to Catholic doctrine, the couple, not the priest, performs the actual sacramental marriage. The priest is the witness. The state is the official "recognizer" or witness of a marriage. This is why everyone has to obtain a marriage license before marrying and why many people choose to marry in front of a judge or justice of the peace as officers of the state or county. Legally, in every state, a person's pastor (of any religion) can witness the marriage on behalf of the state as long as he is really their pastor. There is a lot of liberty taken with this. Usually a Catholic priest will not wittness the marriage of TWO people who are both non-Catholics--- because he is not their pastor--- but he WILL witness the marriage of a couple where only one is Catholic, as long as both are canonnically free to marry.:EDIT: Also, you need a dispensation from the Church, which will allow you to have a Catholic wedding with a Catholic person if you are not Catholic. This is making sure that the children will be baptized and taught in the Catholic faith, and that no efforts will be made to try to raise the children in another religion.
