Hello all,
I will like people on this forum and lurkers to see the big different between JWs and other religion. Following you will see the program from the upcoming Distric/Regional 2016 convention. Look at the topics that are going to be discussed. Taken as a whole, is one big OBEY US! and really depressed program to sit and listen to. (I copied this from the depressedsoul's earlier topic).
Where am I getting? keep reading down there and you will see a sample of the Mormon's program form their 2015 conference. In no way I am endorsing the Mormons. I just want to point out the difference of topics. Read and see.
