***An
Emergency Public Service Announcement for Evansville, Indiana***
July 4, 2004
For the next two weekends (July 9-11 and July 16-18),
Evansville residents are advised to either leave town or stay inside their homes
with doors locked and curtains drawn. DO NOT answer your door for any reason if
someone knocks for your own safety.
As many as 15,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses from four states are
preparing to descend on the city for two conventions that will explore the roles
of religion in world affairs. Members of the faith are scheduled to convene at
Roberts Stadium from 9 a.m. to noon on Fridays and Saturdays and 1:30 to 5 p.m.
on Sundays, but THG is advising all Evansville citizens to take precautions just
in case the Witnesses have a change of plans and start knocking on doors and
witnessing, tying up hours of your weekend free time.
