If you live in Rome (in the USA), don't answer your door for the next 6 weeks: The Jehovah's Witness convention is in town! ...

Edited from the Rome News Tribune

More than 18,000 members of the Watchtower Society, also known as the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, are expected to visit Rome in Georgia during the next six weeks for their annual district convention.

Donald Moore, the head of news services for the convention, said that the first of the six conventions starts today at 9:20 a.m.

Moore expects around 3,100 people per weekend to attend. The overall topic will be “How can you survive the end of the world?”

“We’re hoping to teach people to stay awake as Christians and be prepared because we know from predictions in scripture that the end is near,” he said. [CRACKPOT!!!]

Moore said that some members will be going door-to-door through some neighborhoods handing out invitations and to give testimony to those who are interested.
