I've heard from 2 independent and impeccable sources "close to the GB" (I should have been a journalist!) that the 2007 conventions are all to be held within a one month period. As stadiums are often booked up to five years in advance , this has caused consternation among district overseers and at least one stadium has charged the JWs several thousands of pounds in a penalty clause to cancel and reschedule the booking. No change in 2008 arrangements , so this seems to be a one off , for next year.
Any of the more thoughtful posters like to comment on the possible reasons and/or implications for this WTS decision? And any confirmation from the Bethel "insiders"?
