No. Jehovah's Witnesses try not to take part in any religious, political or national ceremonies at all.
Yes.
If the circumstances arise, that is a decision each one of Jehovah's Witnesses will have to make at that time.
No. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and I own my own home and I can clearly state this is not done!
Yes.
The first representatives of the International Bible Students (as Jehovah's Witnesses were know as at the time) were sent to the continent of Africa in 1910 and a concerted effort was made in the 1920's by Jehovah's Witnesses to take their message to the African people. By the end of the second world war Jehovah's Witnesses were active in 14 African countries the number increasing to 19 by 1975. There are presently hundreds of thousands of African Jehovah's Witnesses in African countries most notably Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia.
It depends on what you mean by "free to worship". Will Jehovah's Witnesses be arrested for praying in Iran? -- No. They can assemble and pray without fear that someone will take them away. Can Jehovah's Witnesses build churches, proselytize, and openly discuss their faith with non-Christian Iranians? -- No. Jehovah's Witnesses can do none of these things in Iran.
No, Jehovah's Witnesses do not have a clergy laity division. They consider all their members (male and female) as "ministers" and all members take part in their services. Only male members qualifty to be what they call "elders", members that take the lead in organizing their work. Their elders are not paid and have no special privileges.
Jehovah's Witnesses will not wish anybody a merry Christmas as they do not celebrate it. However Jehovah's Witnesses can not stop others from wishing them a merry Christmas and usually a Jehovah's Witness will just take it in the kind way that it was meant.
Even though Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate or take part in most of the festivals and celebrations and holidays, they are willing to take those days off, if offered. Many work through holidays. Truely, Sunday mornings and [for some, not all] Thursday nights are times to gather at the Kingdom hall, so those days would be considered when hiring Jehovah's Witnesses. Always ask, what days are you schedueled to be at the Kingdom hall [Or church].
I have done some research and can find no indication that Danny himself was ever actually baptised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He was raised in a Witness household, but to be considered an active Witness by the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, each person has to decide for himself that is what he wants to do, and take appropriate steps to identify himself as a Witness of Jehovah, includng being baptised, which confirms his place in the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. I see no indication that he has done that, only that his parent(s) are (or were) Jehovah's Witnesses.
If you mean red ribbon as related to Aids Awareness then Witnesses try to take no part in anything viewed as a political, religious or social protest or solidarity with similar positions.
