Jehovah's Witnesses are a restorationist Christian denomination. Places of worship tagged with this denomination should be tagged with name=Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in English.
Note that since the cross (the suggested default rendering for Christian religions) is an objectionable symbol for Jehovah's Witnesses, renderers should take care to use a more generic worship symbol when this tag is found. Several discussions have resulted in the kneeling in prayer symbol being chosen for rendering in Carto.
Though the letter's JW have been suggested to match the JW.org logo displayed on all Kingdom Halls regardless of local language, this was rejected. The WatchTower symbol was also proposed, but is generally not featured on the buildings themselves. Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not use symbols in worship and an open book representing the bible (used in some publications) could easily be mistaken as a library, the generic prayer icon is currently the best option.
