    Unlike God's word, that JWs believe to be absolute truth, any one of their directives given at the 2013 District Convention could be subject to misinterpretation.

    So that's the theme? Guess I'll check the website for the official program, your images aren't coming out on my screen.

    Symposium: How Did You Learn theTruth?

    Informal Witnessing (John 4:5-7)

    Raised by Christian Parents (Ephesians 6:4)

    Formal Witnessing (Acts 20:20)

    Relatives (Acts 10:24)

    Through Our Publications (Acts 8:30, 31)

    Searching for God (Matthew13:45, 46)

    ....Hmmm...something's missing from this symposium....oh! Right! FROM THE BIBLE!!!! But "Through Our Publications" is sure in there!!

    3:30 Drama: “ShowYourselfAttentive to theWonderful

    Works of God” (Job 37:14)

    --So the drama is on Friday this year. I need to find a way for our family to miss Friday. Hmm...then again, that'll be the only fun part of the program, so...never mind...

    4:00 “Buy Truth Itself and Do Not Sell It” (Proverbs 23:23)

    --Oh, and we do accept debit and credit cards now, don't forget!

    4:20 Believe Inspired Truth, Not Inspired Error

    (1 Timothy 4:1; 1 John 4:1, 6)

    --Hmm, maybe this one will be a review of the organization's "inspired errors"? One can only hope.

    Well let me be the first to comment on how many parts are "warning" parts. Even an "apostate" symposium is there specifically mentioning "human" apostates. Yep the rhetoric is going up a few notches with this one. Wow! "The truth brings not peace but a sword". Yikes!

    Also, it isn't obvious to me there is a part dealing with the new understanding on the FDS. usually that would be an end of the day Saturday part would it not?

    Well I guess I better get my lawn mower back from my cousin. I will never get it back after he attends this convention.

    “The False Stylus” (Jeremiah 8:8, 9)

    --Why do I get the feeling this is going to be an anti-technology talk?

    And here's the maaaain event!!! In this corner, invisibly present, weighing in at an indeterminate weight,

    11:10 Symposium: Beware of Apostates!

    Satan (John 8:44)

    Human Apostates (1 John 2:19)

    --Wow, there are HUMAN apostates?? I thought they were all devil-wolf-alien creatures!!

    So, there's another drama on Sunday as well, about Esther! Plus a sound drama on Saturday, so we've got like 3 dramas. They're really spicing it up this year! I think I'm going to be snorting milk through my nose in laughter at some point, I guarantee it. Either that, or vomiting in the bathroom that always smells of one big fart. We'll see.

    Wow, can't believe it's only...what, less than five months away...I can't tell you how excited I am.
