  I'm not suggesting discrimination. People of all beliefs are welcome to the government service provided there. However, should any religious group be allowed to proselytize and promote their views on state land?

  They are allowing religious activities (a form of JW worship) at the entrance of a governmental building.

  Convention coming to a city near YOU...

  ...and it's our duty to warn non-jws, or half awake jws about these events, as they start appearing in newspapers throughout the us, and abroad.

  it almost comes out as a promotional ad for the jw convention.

  the 'current events' editing staff of this paper likely has no idea what their promoting.

  Awesome, timelord! Spot on comment!

  "It's true that they don't live in a compound somewhere"--> well,technically some JWs do live on compounds, which are, of course, call Bethel.

  Let's hope it doesn't disappear.

  BTW...there needs to be a writing campaign to newspapers ahead of time.

  I left the following comment:

  With a little digging, there is MUCH more to this story.

  One of the talks is entitled "Loyally Uphold Jehovah's Judgments – Shun Unrepentant Wrongdoers". This might sound good to some out there, but “wrongdoing” here might simply be a person who disagrees some or many of the teachings of the Watchtower, not believing that Watchtower represents God’s sole channel with mankind since 1919, someone who doesn’t believe Jesus’s invisible presence began in 1914, attending another church, someone who celebrates a holiday like Christmas, someone who votes, or takes a blood transfusion in a life or death situation. Hundreds of thousands of former JWs find themselves shunned by friends and family, which since they’ve been taught only to cultivate friendships with fellow JWs up to that point can leave them without everyone they ever knew or loved.

  This is just one part on this convention and merely scratches the surface. If any journalist sat for three days and observed what is being taught, they would find much more than simply people coming together to hear about “loyalty”. Ultimately, what is meant is complete loyalty to the Watchtower Organization.

  Agreed. Do we have a list of convention cities and dates?
