  Interesting title choice. BTW, before the 1950s, "the Christ" referred to the "anointed class" (in fact, "the anointed" is used today in the same sense that "the Christ" used to be, and "Christ" literally means "anointed").

  You can just about bet that it's going to end with " the importance of humble submission to Jehovah’s arrangement."

  Is that right? That the 2007 District Conventions are to be called "Follow the Christ!"

  Yep, but notice the weasel word: Follow the Christ. It will be a long, long time before you attend a DC called "Follow Jesus Christ."

  p.s. There's a whole other thread on this, here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/124131/2195939/post.ashx#2195939

  So 'Follow the Christ' likely means follow the annointed, which means follow the faithful and discreet slave, which really means follow the old farts the governing body at brooklyn.

  I am going to stop procrastinating and finally learn to sleep with my eyes open so I can get through the next DC with (hopefully) some brain cells still in tact!
