Are you looking forward to the 2007 DC?It will be the best ever.Will you be there for fellowship and association?Have you started making preparations?Have you requested time off work?Have you booked your Hotel room?What will your goal be at the DC this year? ALL VERY GOOD QUESTIONS.
Why is the 2007 convention special? Because you ARE invited.You will be given a special INVITATION.In fact,there is a worldwide campaign to advertise this convention with a special handbill.Per KM02/07 is the fallowing presentation"This is YOUR INVITATION to an upcoming important yearly event.YOU WILL BE WARMLY WELCOMED. The details are on the invitation."
What does this mean? Well everyone, I mean everyone is INVITED.This includes:
APOSTATES:Who hate Jehovah,Who are rebellious. WHo are revolting,Who reject Jehovah's Organization.Who are filled with Lawlessness=Disloyal to Jehovah=Misery,Corruption=Death.
Disfellowedshiped Ones: Which are persons JW are not to have any Spiritual Association.
Roman Catholics: See WT'S of how bad these people are.
Wordly People: We are not to associate with work mates or school mates.
There are many references to APOSTATES in WTS Mags.I'll just use one July 1,94,p11-13
"Beware of Poisonous Food on the Table of Demons.Food dispensed by the evil Slave Class and APOSTATES. Yes APOSTATES publish literature that resorts to distortions,half-truths and out right falsehood.What do you expect form the table of demons.
WELL HERE IT IS FOLKS.THIS IS A REALLY GOOOOOOOD ONE.
THEY EVEN PICKET WITNESS CONVENTION,TRYING TO TRAP THE UNWARY."Guess what, forget the picketing outside they are inviting the APOSTATE right into the building.
There is one consolation of inviting DISFELLOWSHIPED One, they can see their 4 year old daugher or son.They can give them a hug and there isn't one thing the GB can do about it becaused they invited the DISFELLOWSHIPED ONES.Yes the light got brillant and now disfellowshiped ones can associate and fellowshiped with one another.Isn't the Faithful Slave and the GB ever so kind. What about the APOSTATES well they don't have picket in the hot sun and be harassed by the Elders/MS.Also they can bring food in commerically advistised containers.Speaking of bring food. KM of I believe of '95 or '96.WTS didn't want anyone going out for lunch because the Vendors wanted to sell food.This would mean associating with worldly people AH AH AH AH AH.

PS Maybe this invitation is a legal move or they are showing humane acts of kindness.
