  Somehow, he did not emphasize the JW teaching that 99.9% of the world's population, including newborn babies and grandmothers in wheelchairs, are considered to be "wicked" and deserving of death, should Armageddon happen to come today.

  He also seems to have forgotten to mention that "wicked behavior" includes things like celebrating Christmas, swimming in a YMCA pool, and attending a relative's wedding in a church.

  I'm sure he meant to say all that, but just ran out of time.

  Good points....I attempted to add this as a comment to the article.

  Most of this is the usual JW PR stuff.

  But I love this quote:

  ""We don't sell anything during the convention –– including food," says Housner, adding that attendees are welcome to bring their own lunches."

  What a loving arrangement! You can attend our convention and bring your own lunch!

  "Typically people come for a day or part of a day," says Jerry Housner, convention overseer. "They're not used to sitting still."

  Huh? We were always told that we should be there all day every day! Then the next meeting that you went to, people would come up, "Where were you on Friday for the DC? We looked but didn't see you..." And it was usually the people that rarely talked to you at meeings because you weren't "spiritual enough"!
