More than 4000 people attend conference of Jehovah’s Witnesses

A conference of Jehovah’s Witnesses has begun at the Tesla Arena in Prague; more than 4,000 are reported to be in attendance. The theme of the conference is “staying close to God”; a pool is prepared for baptising new members and the advertisements in the sporting area were covered up so as not to distract the attendees. The three-day gathering is to continue until Monday and meet again the following weekend. Altogether the organisers expect 10,000 attendees.
