The "Public Talk"
You can't get in unless you're a Jehovah's Witness, or connected in some way to a Jehovah's Witness, but they call it a Public Talk, because it happens on Sunday Morning, when other people are worshipping God in churches.
For forty-five minutes on a Sunday Morning, people are sitting in a Kingdom Hall, listening to this man who is up on a platform, thinking that every thing he says is coming from God. They will hang on every word which this man says. They will hear the latest prophecies about the end of the world, they will hear the latest threats given by the Watchtower and Tract Society, which by the way is supposed to also come from God, and of course, encouragement that if they are stomping door to door and practicing hate towards the right people then they are doing the right thing. This includes family who are not Jehovah's Witnesses, maybe their children, maybe their parents, but it always includes those who have asked questions and the elders did not want to answer them, etc.
So this is what happens in a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall on a Sunday Morning.
