--ANSWER FROM A JW --
A dictionary defines a creed as "A formal statement of religious belief; a confession of faith." By that definition, the set of beliefs that JW's hold to are a creed. The creed that JW's accept is outlined in The Bible. We exalt Jehovah God as the sovereign of the universe. We accept Jesus Christ, his only-begotten son, as our personal savior and the only mediator between God and man. We believe that the only hope for mankind is God's Kingdom, with Jesus as the appointed, and now reigning king of that kingdom. That is in a nutshell the creed of Jehovah's Witnesses.-(Psalms 83:18; Colosians 1:15,16; 1 Timothy 2:5; John 3:16; Isaiah 9:6,7; Revelation 21:4)

ANSWER FROM ONE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES... The Conventions are open to any body who wants to go along, they are always open to the public and are free to get into as we do not charge for entry. The Convention should also be on a local radio band too.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate holidays that they believe do not fit true Christianity. These include Christmas, Easter, and even birthdays. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Christ did not command his birth - or any birth - to be celebrated; he just wanted his death to be remembered.
Jehovah's Witnesses refused to conform to Nazi ideology and refused to cooperate with Hitler's political aims and military endevors and and because of this were targeted for the harshest of treatments. Historian Brian Dunn identifies 3 basic reasons why the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses were incompatible with Nazism:1. The Witnesses's opposition to racism in any form2. The international scope of the religion, implying international equality3. The Witnesses's political neutrality & their refusal to swear allegiance to the state
