TRELAWNY
The dreaded end of the world as we know it will form the core of discussions at the Jehovah's Witnesses' annual district convention which is scheduled to run for two consecutive weekends starting tomorrow at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium in Florence Hall, Trelawny.
Close to six thousand participants are expected to attend the event which is being staged under the theme "Keep on the Watch!"
"Many people have different views about the end of the world, but Witnesses feel that what the Bible teaches on the matter is enlightening, sobering, and meaningful. Programme parts throughout the three-day event will highlight an analytical and reasonable (as opposed to fanatical) approach to that subject," a release from the group said.
According to the release, a large portion of the programme will focus on families.
"Because Witnesses believe that families need to be prepared spiritually in order to face the future with confidence, three of the programme parts will directly address family members: husbands, wives, and young ones," the release said.
According to the release, admission to the convention is free and no collections will be taken.
