The meetings, titled Exercise Patience will be held at Birla Matushri Hall at Churchgate, and Center Park Lawn in Mira Road, from November 17-19 and November 24-26.

The group, an evangelist Christian sect founded in the United States in 1870, holds regular conventions at cities across the world, but the Covid pandemic interrupted the tradition, and the in-person events were replaced by virtual events. As much as we loved the convenience and quality of our virtual conventions, nothing can replace being together in a large group setting, said Norman D Souza, spokesperson for the Jehovah's Witnesses. While our online conventions reached millions around the world and kept our communities safe, we long to get back to our joyful fellowships at these large gatherings.
