JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Moving Forward With Firm Conviction! ANNUAL MEETING REPORT

IN THESE days of skepticism and doubt, Jehovah's Witnesses stand out as Christians having firm conviction.  This was made clear at the annual meeting of the Watch Tower  Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, held at the Jersey City, New Jersey, Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Saturday, October 7, 2000.

In  his 0pening remarks, the chairman, John E. Barr, a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, stated:  "Out of all the earth's billions, we know and believe that Jehovah's beloved Son, Christ Jesus, is now enthroned in the heavens, ruling amid his enemies."  Evidence of such firm conviction was presented in six thrilling reports from around the world.

Conquering Spiritism With Bible Truth in Haiti

Spiritism is quite prevalent in Haiti.  "Usually," related Branch Committee coordinator John Norman, "people will take on voodoo to protect themselves."  One witch doctor developed doubts when he lost a leg in an accident.  'How could this happen to me if I am being protected by spirits?' He wondered.  Like many others, this man was taught the truth by Jehovah's Witnesses and was helped to break  free from spiritism.  The potential for growth in Haiti is shown by the fact that on April 19, 2000, four times the number of Kingdom publishers in that land attended the Memorial of Christ's death.
