At someone's suggestion, i tried calling a few phone numbers to get more detailed convention info. I kind of want to tape the rest, it feels so incomplete, and i wanted to hear the rest for my own research. Basically i wanted to know which one a certain congregation would be attending. (so i could avoid certain people. it would not be good) So after being re-routed several times to different people, the guy on the phone first asks me if i'm a sister. In a VERY suspicious tone. I simply said no, and explained that i wanted to find out which convention some friends of mine would be attending. (true) He just gave me the dates of the conventions, which i already knew. And then asked AGAIN if i was a sister! ROFL. I again admitted.......no. THen he said, that's all the information i can give you.
He made me feel like some creepy criminal, trying to do something wrong. Like infiltrate the nearest Masonic Lodge. Sheesh, where's the love-bombing? LOL.
