  Witnesses launch 2005 conventions nationwide

  NEW YORK—This week, Jehovah’s Witnesses will hold the first four of 227 convention programs in major cities across the United States. For 2005, the theme of their three-day convention is “Godly Obedience,” based on several Bible texts. (Deuteronomy 12:28; Jeremiah 7:23; Romans 6:17; 2 Corinthians 2:9)

  The first conventions scheduled for the United States will be held May 27-29, 2005, in Bakersfield, California; Long Beach, California; Portland, Maine; and West Palm Beach, Florida. Subsequently, the series will continue throughout the country each week through September 11, ultimately being held in 69 U.S. cities. “The convention is an outstanding highlight for all who attend,” states William Van De Wall, U.S. branch representative. “We were very pleased with the turnout for our ‘Walk With God’ series this past year, and we are confident of similar enthusiasm for this new series.”

  In the United States, the program will be presented in 15 languages. All are invited to attend free of charge, since there is no admission fee or collections taken at any convention or meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses. There are now over 1,000,000 Witnesses in the United States.

  None at the Pontiac Silverdome? Or am I way behind the times?

  Does anyone know where the "friends" from Michigan will be going?

  Silverdome is probably too big and expensive.

  Probably the Michigan crowd has been re-assigned to Ohio or Indiana.

  I helped build an assembly hall in Rochester. I could swear the purpose of it was to house the big conventions too. What gives?

  Who could have guessed they would be talking about 'loyally obeying the FDS' (trans.: blindly following the orders of) and 'those taking the lead' in this convention?

  Seems there are no more conventions in Janesville Wisconsin just in Green Bay Wi. When did that change?
