“JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES have learned to assemble without violence or promiscuity, without tobacco or alcohol, without excesses of any kind. A lesson, undoubtedly, for a society like ours, officially identified with Catholicism, yet having difficulties in taking care of big concentrations in football fields without episodes of intolerance, sometimes tragic,” reported Flash magazine in Argentina. This comment was made with regard to one of the four “Integrity Keepers” Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses held in Argentina in January 1986.

The newspapers highly commended the conventioners for their fine organization and conduct. La Razon newspaper highlighted the following with regard to the Buenos Aires convention in the River Plate Stadium where over 57,000 attended: “Order, cleanliness, and a notable silence, the characteristics . . . The attendance of the faithful displayed perfect organization . . . order rarely found when it comes to a multitude.”

The newspaper La Nacion commented on the convention held in Rosario where 15,000 attended: “Despite the number of people invited by Jehovah’s Witnesses, not even a single policeman could be seen around, and the order was perfect.”
