I have one for my country, but that would probably not be of any help to anyone in the US, unless you're taking a loooooong trip on the road this summer :D

A1: somewhere near Allentown, PA (it used to be in the armpit known as "Richmond, VA")
A2: no, but the wife and daughter are...as far as I know.

That is a shame. I enjoyed your Hitchcockian reports.

[Deborah]

I'm going. Anybody want to videotape my dunk and ditch?

Love, Deborah

The WT used to post the U.S. convention dates and locations on their media website. So far they have not done that this year yet. Maybe they won't. Oh wait, here it is... JW-MEDIA (http://www.jw-media.org/newsroom/index.htm?content=/region/americas/usa/english/releases/events/usa_e080409.htm)

Thanks for the link, Watchman.

So???

I miss the ones we had in the Silverdome in Pontiac, MI.(previous home of the Detroit Lions)(c'mon, please don't laugh.)
Now we have to travel to Ohio, and with gas going up and up.

brotherly love,

Someone else posted the site a week or so ago. I have three different conventions that I can crash.
I haven't figured out what to do, yet. I was thinking about bringing a religious news reporter to videotape. If I am refused baptism I could have a story written about unscriptural baptism requirements. Or perhaps Utube it?
Does anyone know if they have a list that they check off when people get dunked? I haven't watched out of frustration. Getting denied because of irregular meeting attendance taking care of my disabled child or some other burden, really leaves me too emotional to pay close attention to the baptism part of the convention.
I am trying to figure out if I could get in any legal trouble. Does anyone know if there is any written material with "public invited" about the convention? I would like to know what to keep my eyes out for.

With Anticipation, Deborah
