I've been invited to a Jehovah's Witnesses convention. What can I expect if I go?

Answer 1

It consists of talks, discussions, and true-to-life presentations called demonstrations, presented by traveling overseers and qualified Witnesses from congregations. Various ones also relate experiences about how they are meeting the challenge of living as Christians in a godless world or what results they are having in the ministry. At district conventions there is an additional feature—live presentations in the form of Bible dramas or dramas in modern-day settings, depicting how Christians cope with problems they face today.

Pleasant fellowship can be enjoyed when meetings are not in session. All the work involved in operating these events is done by volunteers from among Jehovah’s Witnesses. The cost of the facilities and other expenses are covered by voluntary contributions. Admittance is free, and no collections are taken.

You can find out from the local congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses when and where these gatherings are scheduled in your area. Information will also be provided about any travel arrangements, as well as how to obtain rooming accommodations.

These assemblies and conventions help Jehovah’s Witnesses and all associating with them to see beyond their local congregation and to appreciate the whole association of their brothers in the world.—1 Peter 2:17.

The “Deliverance at Hand!” Convention of
Jehovah’s Witnesses will
be held from one end of the earth -
to the other during 2006/2007. All sessions at each convention site are open to the
public, and no collections are ever taken.

Among the many subjects that will be featured on the program are the following:

■“To Whose Authority Do You Submit?”
This dramatic presentation in a Biblical setting will
highlight what loyalty to God really means.

■How to attain a happy family life.

■How young people can resist the temptations of
immoral conduct -

■“Deliverance By God’s Kingdom Is At Hand!”
This timely public address will be presented on
the final day of the convention.

The local congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses invites you to attend the
convention.

Answer 2

You will be amazed at how everyone is dressed, so properly, polite, and genuinely happy to see you there. I have been to three so far, and they are very informative on very important issues that we all face today. They will sing songs of praise, and you will be able to listen to some of the best speakers explain the basic truths about God, his Son, Jesus and his promise for mankind. They will have a full schedule for you tom read and follow at the door. Theere will be from 5000 - 10000 Christian brothers and sisters there from all over the country and even from overseas. They are not a cult, they do not do healings on stage, and they will not beg you for money at the door. They do have contribution boxes around the area, but if you want to give, give freely, and if you can't don't . I have never been to anything more organized and pleasant as a convention of Jehovah's witnesses. When you leave, you will certainly say that they are truly God's people and He is with them. I promise that you will enjoy yourself and learn so much!

Answer 3

At a Jehovah's Witness convention, you can expect to learn the truth from the bible.

From their official website, here is the schedule of Jehovah's Witness district conventions in the United States:

Answer 4

I was at one last week in Cardiff Wales. It is very informative and you will be spiritually picked up. You will have different talks on subjects concerning spiritual guidance and protection from worldly influences and recognise why the world conditions are in such dire circumstances and the ultimate resolution to humanities problems when Jehovah kingdom is reigning on earth. It is good to see so many people together and often outsiders get to see a glimpse of true christian conduct and a small taste of great things to come. It is very refreshing to be in a Godly spiritual oasis of the convention.

Jehovah's people don't shut themselves away and sit on their hands waiting for you to come to them but with urgency fulfill prophesy spoken by Jesus in Matthew 24:14 and reach out to everybody to spread the kingdom message throughout the entire earth.

Matthew 24:14 " And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come"

Answer 5

It's bad enough when they come to your door and badger you for an hour. Now YOU are going to go to THEIR door? Egads, a glutton for punishment. Just yes them to death or you will never get out of there.

Make sure you leave a note with a friend giving the exact address of where you will be so they can send someone to rescue you if you are not back in a week.

Answer 6

surely they will try to convince you that their religion is the
only way to inherit Eternal life, they will focus on the 144000
in Revelations.
But read further and you will see that that is not the only amount
of people who will inherit.
I do not know what religion you are, but pray that you find the right
path, because if you were already set in your religion you would not
go still searching around- i do not mean this in a harmfull way, realy wish you all the best. God bless

Answer 7

A great deal of witty chit chat and schmoozing with the upper echelons of the Jehovah Witnessdom...enjoy! and wear something that will knock em dead! ...Try a whole bottle of your Dad's Old Spice..that should do the trick!

Answer 8

Do not go... They are cultic because they twist scriptures... Once you go there is a chance that you may be trapped in to their wrong teaching... Before you go to any church make sure the church is 100% bible believing (without twisting) and christ centered.
When it comes to such decision making, always seek God's guidance...

Answer 9

Brainwashing. This is a fanatic "Christian" splinter group that is unable to see past the end of its nose. Do not waste your time or risk being indoctrinated.

Answer 10

It's a great place, I enjoy it more every year. Those other ppl know what its like because they've been to one right?...RIGHT, that's what i thought. I promise you won't be dissatisfied. Also you have opportunities to meet new ppl.
