Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Amid global tensions that dominate public attention, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have been united with millions of others around the globe for their ongoing annual convention to promote the timely theme, \u201cPursue Peace.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have been holding global conventions for more than 100 years. Following the practice of the past two years. This year\u2019s virtual program has been released incrementally throughout July and August. The three-day convention is available in six parts each corresponding to a half day of content. The first session was watched during the weekend of July 2-3, 2022. The final weekend of the virtual event is scheduled for this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis convention is an object lesson in how peace is being achieved by a global community right now as it unites millions of people even in areas of conflict like Ukraine and Russia,\u201d said Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses Local Spokesperson Lucky Dlamini. \u201cThe power of the principles being discussed transcends national borders, ethnic differences, and language barriers. Both individuals and families are benefiting from attending this program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dlamini said this year\u2019s convention with the theme \u2018Pursue Peace\u2019 is very timely, \u201cIt is very important to have peace with oneself during these times as we continue to grapple against the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and inflationary pressures that cause so much anxiety. The convention has been addressing these areas and showing practical ways to deal with these situations successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dlamini invited the public to attend the event by going to JW.ORG or JW Broadcasting on the free JW Library App, or streaming platforms such as ROKU TV or Apple TV. \u201cThe program is free and accessible to all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dlamini said topics that are explored by this year\u2019s program are; how love leads to inner peace with others, why the Bible can be called the road map to family peace, how to attain peace even when suffering from illness, economic problems, natural disasters or other difficulties, what people from around the world are doing to enjoy peace, and why friendship with God can lead to true peace.<\/p>\n

To promote this convention, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses from all over the world have embarked on a global campaign to invite interested ones to the virtual program. This year\u2019s campaign is anticipated to reach many people since Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses resumed public witnessing on June 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

After two years of suspended public witnessing activities in areas such as Metropolitan public spaces, streets, business areas, bus stations, near tertiary institutions, prisons, and harbors have been used.<\/p>\n
