20,000 Jehovah's Witnesses going door to door with convention invitation

[Guest Nicole]

In the coming days, more than 20,000 Jehovah's Witnesses will walk door to door from Key West to West Palm Beach, inviting neighbors to learn how they can cultivate brotherly love.

It's particularly important in these times of global violence, terrorism and hate, they say.

"The hatred we are seeing all over the world has impacted us as mankind," said Mike McBean, a Jehovah's Witness from Davie speaking at the convention. "We are going to focus on what Jesus taught and how he lived in dealing with hatred. One way is to love our enemies and not retaliate. If we live by that principle, hate will be diminished."

The lessons of love and loyalty will be shared during three conventions at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, a free event open to the public. No collections will be taken.
