The University of Tulsa is hosting a Jehovah’s Witnesses conference from Friday through Sunday. Over 5,000 delegates from three states are attending the 2012 Safeguard Your Heart! district convention at the Donald W. Reynolds Center, 3208 East 8th Street, in Tulsa.
Convention overseer Darrell Barnes said the Friday morning keynote address, “Let God’s Word Reveal the Intentions of Your Heart,” set the tone for the entire convention.
Friday’s program also included a series of talks on the subject “Beware of Dangerous Heart Conditions!” and a symposium that examined parallels between physical heart ailments and spiritual afflictions that can affect a person’s figurative heart.
Attendees were encouraged to put their hearts into helping others learn the Bible during the talk “Do You Have a Heart for Working?” That call to whole-hearted service is a lesson in faithful work and calling (Colossians 3:23).
Saturday morning’s highlight was to be a baptism talk discussing the importance of Christian dedication.
Jehovah’s Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door preaching and for distributing literature such as The Watchtower.
The group teaches that Jehovah is the only true God and that He is not part of a Trinity.
Jehovah’s Witnesses originated from a Bible study group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1870.
