Jehovah’s witnesses 

 

Worldwide trends are changing dramatically in the areas of lifestyle, religion, and conduct among the young and the old alike. 

   

To keep spiritually awake over 7,300,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world gather yearly for a spiritual banquet provided through a solemn occasion called the Circuit Assembly.

 

Held over two days these gatherings are patterned after the assemblies of Bible times that were arranged for worshippers of the true God Jehovah and their newly associated friends.

 

Jehovah’s Witnesses sincerely believe that Jehovah God is the universal Sovereign and that as the Creator, he is the supreme Statute-giver. They, therefore, look to him as the only one who sets standard for all who seek to please him.

 

This year the theme is ‘You Are no Part of the World’, which is a quotation of Jesus’s words to his early Christian disciples found at John 15:19. The assembly will focus on strengthening the audience spiritually and helping them to cope with life’s hardships.

 

Highlights on the Saturday program will include the talk entitled ‘No Part of the World-What Does it Mean?’, and the baptism of newly dedicated ones who want to publicly symbolize their dedication to Jehovah. This is a time of rejoicing since it is in fulfillment of Jesus’ command to his disciples before ascending to heaven in 33 C.E (Matthew 28:19) Sunday will feature, among others, a public address ‘Christ’s Kingdom Is No Part of This World’.

 

Approximately 600 people from around the country are expected to assemble in Gaborone for this occasion.

 

Jehovah’s Witnesses invite everyone to attend and learn more about these topics to be held at the Baobab English Medium School in Phase 2, Gaborone on the 5th and 6th of March 2011. On both days the program will begin 9:40am. Admission is free and no collections will be taken.
