THE ANNUAL CONVENTION OF
WITNESSES NOW FOR JESUS
October 16-18, 2009 This year
as in years past, at the annual convention at New Ringgold, Pennsylvania, many fine presentations or testimonies will
be given that are helpful for witnessing to Jehovah Witnesses. Come meet others set free
from the Watchtower Society over JWs and other rigidly harsh groups, that is: cults. For further information and a list
of speakers, write Joan Cetnar, Host and Coordinator, RT 3 Box 127, Kunkletown, PA 18058 or visit here and also
enjoy the many photos: |
WATCHTOWER'S
2009 CONVENTION SITES AND SCHEDULES
(So far only for in the U.S.A. and CANADA)
CLICK HERE FOR LEAFLETS TO DISTRIBUTE AND/OR READ THE FOLLOWING ABOUT INFO-PICKETING. BEST WISHES. NOW THAT MORE HAVE "CHRISTIAN
FREEDOM" TO TAKE ACTION TO HELP OTHERS EXIT, WHY NOT BE USING IT!
Suggestions for respectful, effective picketing. Walk on
a sidewalk along near the highway where people are driving in to a convention site holding or having hanging
over your neck Posters with one simple, easy-to-read internet website word such as CHRISTIANWITNESS.COM or SILENTLAMBS.ORG.
Once the name of the website is seen they will remember it and upon going to it be able to get lots more information there.
Doing so will also attract their attention positively. Otherwise, if you're loud for example, you will be thought
and spoken of as disrespectful and the like.
Also take along any permit that you had to get from the local
police or city hall officials, small tape recorder or mobil phone with film, video and or voice-sound recording ability; a
hat for shade from the sun, any sun-screening lotion, first-aid kit for if insect-bitten, etc.
Since these are
conventions "open to the public" you or a friend can walk into the site and leave about small, even micro-sized leaflets,
again, with one easy to remember website word, perhaps with the addition of a positve short expression such as "We love
and protect JWs and JW kids; sadly, Watchtower heads love themselves more." Try to leave about the items without
attendants taking note of you then possibly destroying the leaflets, stalking after you etc.
Quiet, peaceful and
respectful works best.
