Many endeavors have been made to do so, but unsuccessfully. Dominick Fontana, presiding minister ofthe Woodstock Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, says that Jehovah's Witnesses have found the answer.

"During the Christian gathering at Madison, Wis.," Fontana remarked," the information presented will be faithstrengthening and will aid all of Jehovah's Witnesses to continue their fight against communism and you can be sure that even though Communists continue to develop powerful weapons of destruction, they will also continue to fear God's Word, the Bible, and the activity of Jehovah's Witnesses." The main lecture of the convention will be entitled "Rescuing a Great Crowd of Mankind Out of Armageddon," and will be delivered by John 0.

Your best chance to head off a "head-on" is to think negatively. Assume that behind every oncoming truck or car there's a good guy about to make a bad mistake. And, be prepared to get out of his way if he does. Whenever, wherever you drive . . . drive defensively. Watch out for the other guy. It's the best way there is to watch out for you.
