Humph...wonder why cutting and pasting wouldn't work, but clicking on the URL does.

Anyone interested in going?

 

I am hoping for Ukraine.

[Adelin]

So when are we going to know if we are invited?

[dove]

Our letter was read this morning....

[Adelin]

I see the hosting countries, http://www.jw2018.org/  not the invited countries. Am I not looking in the right place?

I have to make a correction . It was the Annual Meeting our letter was about, not the Special Convention. I've been in a brain fog since my accident...sorry 3 times for emphasis..

But we were invited to the AM

Click on the host country, and if you scroll down a bit, you will find the invited countries.

I wonder why other websites are used instead of a sub-domain of jw.org? I’m not searching to see how many years ahead they have reserved!

[William]

I know the letter was read out in a nearby congregation in London today who have been invited. Oslo and Sri Lanka are the locations. Also, this time it is made clear that if your congregation is not invited, you are allowed to go with someone in a congregation that is, providing you still meet the qualifying criteria.

[Peace be with you]

Only come if you're invited! That's what the letter in effect said

You can really see the internationalization of our brotherhood when you compare where our special conventions have been held over the past few years. Both this year and in 2016 there were seven conventions listed on the website; but in 2016, five of these were in "the West" (americas and europe) with only one in Asia. Whereas this year only three are in the West, and three locations are spread from the middle east to Asia and the Pacific! (where most humans live today)

Hi Brandon, trying to figure out your post. What is Italy doing on your list? What happened to Norway?

[Nzer133]

Are there any international conventions being planned?

[Thesauron]

Are there any international conventions being planned?

These are now called Special Conventions, and you'll see them listed here: jw2018.org

Yes. There is a video that explains the difference but I can't find it.
