00:03 All around the world,
00:05 people come together every week at places
00:08 of worship called Kingdom Halls.
00:14 Have you ever wondered what happens
00:16 inside a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses?
00:20 It’s a place where Bible study programs
00:23 and lectures are held each week.
00:27 The first time I attended a meeting,
00:30 I felt very happy.
00:32 The atmosphere was so good;
00:33 I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else.
00:38 The people are loving, orderly,
00:41 and show an interest in people.
00:46 Every meeting is open to the public.
00:48 Seats are free and no collections are ever taken.
00:53 Families are invited to attend and learn together.
00:59 All meetings begin and end with song and prayer.
01:05 One meeting, usually held on the weekend,
01:08 includes a 30-minute Bible discourse
01:10 especially designed for the general public.
01:13 After that, there’s a question-and-answer discussion
01:17 based on an article in the study edition of the Watchtower magazine.
01:21 Participation is always voluntary.
01:23 At one of the meetings during the week,
01:26 we not only study the Bible
01:28 but also receive training in public speaking.
01:34 Everyone is invited to the Christian meetings,
01:38 including those who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses.
01:44 You can go into any Kingdom Hall
01:46 and receive the same program of Bible instruction.
01:52 Bible education, upbuilding association,
01:55 and the opportunity to praise God await you
01:59 at Christian meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
