McLean went on to highlight the need
for these assemblies saying,
"Revolutions, coups and insurrections
have become common in our time,
showing that there is a lack of loyalty in
the world. The greatest need of the
human family right now is God's
kingdom that Jesus Christ taught his
followers to pray for. That is a gover-
nment deserving the loyalty of
mankind."
"The 'Kingdom Loyalty' Conventions
will strengthen the faith of anyone who
attends and will provide much practical
instruction for everyday living,"
McLean concluded.
McLean said that all conventions of
Jehovah's Witnesses are open to the
public without fee or collection.
