This Is Our Place of Worship

SHOWING RESPECT FOR PURE WORSHIP

A Kingdom Hall is the center of pure worship for the local community.  Among the provisions that Jehovah makes for our spiritual nourishment are the weekly meetings at the Kingdom Hall. It is here that we receive the vital spiritual refreshment and direction through is organization. All those who attend meetings do so, in effect, at the invitation of Jehovah and his Son. Even though we have a standing invitation to eat at "the table of Jehovah," we must never take that privilege for granted. -1 Corinthians 10:21. 

Jehovah considers such occasions for worship and mutual encouragement so important that he inspired the apostle Paul to urge us not to forsake our meeting together.  (Read Hebrews 10:24, 25) Would you be showing respect for Jehovah if we missed Christian meetings for unnecessary reasons?  Indeed, we can show how much we appreciate Jehovah and his provisions by preparing for and  wholeheartedly participating in these meetings. -Psalm 22:22. 

Our attitude toward the Kingdom Hall-both the physical structure and the spiritual activities taking place there-should denote proper respect. Is it not true  that our attitude in this regard is closely related to the way we feel about God's name, which usually appears on the Kingdom Hall sign? -Compare 1 Kings 8:17.
