PORTLAND, Maine — More than 5,000 people are expected to attend the annual convention of Maine Jehovah’s Witnesses on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The theme for the convention at the Cumberland County Civic Center is “Safeguard Your Heart,” according to a press release issued by the denomination’s national headquarters in New York City.
“Bible writers mention the heart nearly a thousand times, almost always in a figurative sense,” the press release said. “Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that it is of vital importance to understand what the heart represents because the Bible, at Proverbs 4:23, states that we need to safeguard it.”
Addresses each day will follow a spiritual theme using verses from Samuel, Matthew and 1 Chronicles.
Things to consider on hosting Jehovah’s Witnesses conventions sponsored by the Watchtower society corporation.
1) Convention serve mostly as the yearly vacation/social time get together for JW families,for many this is their ONLY ‘vacation’.
2) More on the dark side it also is mass indoctrination time for a high control religion some say cult.
3) The JW are not big spenders they will help the economy but the Watchtower energetic PR dept has 50 years expertise spinning their exaggerated tourism financial benefits.4)Clever PR on getting free publicity for the Watchtower JW religion as in the course of a year,these summer convention that are held all over the world are their primary source of puff for a religion that has twice as many disgruntled former members as they do active members.5) The creed of Jehovah’s Witnesses is Jesus return also know as his ‘presence’ or second coming in 1914 and only 144,000 go to heaven.
Google- Jehovah Witness Watchtower
Most Jehovah’s Witnesses are decent folk who are trapped in an oppressive cult like organization the Watchtower society.
Correct- Watchtower core dogma is Jesus ‘invisible’ return or second coming October 1914,this is a false doctrine.
Matthew 7:15-16 “Be on the watch for the false prophets,who come to you in sheep’s clothing…..”

I’ve never attended a Jehovah’s Witness Church but they should be very respected for not trying to impose their beliefs on American society by financing and pushing political agendas in our government that is supposed to separate Church and State.
Oh No they never do that at all do they? Duhhhhhhh! Of Course they do that. What are you blind?? That is ALL they do. They ABSOLUTELY try to impose their beliefs on American Society!!! You think they don’t use Judicial Activism, line pockets of Judges and politicians? Duhhh. Wake up dude.
I think we should go to the convention and knock on the door with literature about another religion and see how they feel.
We are not prophets. We examine the prophecies of the true prophets.
1914 was a megahit. The year, the season,(autumn, due to calculating from the autumn of 607 BCE) … and the event – Jesus invisible global arrival. (The first horse) marked by global WAR.(the second horse)
That’s what the other 3 horses do, (after Jesus horse) … spread and synchronize war, disease, economy and other disasters worldwide.
Things are unfolding a little slower than expected, but ‘exactly ‘ as expected. More powerfully though. We never thought the horses could gallop so fast as to put every woe on such a global hair trigger.
I’m sure the “doomsday clock” instituted after WWll never expected things to continue in this fashion either. It’s never been less than quarter of.
The 1914 prophecy will commence before earth succumbs to man.
