OK, I'm not a JW but I would like to know where the District Conventions are in the US along with the dates. The Kingdom Halls in my area have been unwilling to provide this information over the phone. It's less that a month before they usually start and there is no information at the official website. TIA
Please Post List of United States 2008 District Conventions

unwilling to provide this information over the phone
That seems rather odd, I wonder why the secrecy? They are usually on the back inside cover of a Wt but I can't help you I do not get them, and have not had one for many
years.

Why the secrecy? They think people will join if they need to in order to get this information. Little do they know that it is only a matter of time before someone finds out and posts it for all us apostates.

The US conventions are listed on page 30 and 31 of the 3/1/08 WT which is available to the public. If you have a couple of locations I could post where they are here or someone who has this magazine could provide a scan.
The WTS holds back the information sometimes due to blocking ex and nonjws from picketing at the conventions.
You can also use Google and type in "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses" and it may pop up the schedules at the convention building locations. Otherwise you could call a kingdom hall in your local area.
