hi just browsing a few places here and a few things came to mind. One was more of a question, the revelation book that the JW's study... I recall a short time back that someone posted the changes that were made to that book. Can someone, please, help me find that link again? and boy, isn't the end of the book study so traggic? A friend of mine is so much into the Watchtower being the truth and Bible prophecies wrapping up, he even said a comment on the lines of the part of the bible about religion coming to an end and the end of the book study night proof. Is that something that might have been said at the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT? I really wish I had spilled the beans to him of what the announcement was. oh and the convention that is coming up at the end of MAY, even though I've been to a few I really have no idea what goes on. I do recall the plays, but what is spoken about, no clue. Can someone let me know what goes on for those three days that seem to happen on a holiday (so people cannot enjoy a camping trip or something?) I truly am still confused at what type of studying goes on on each night of the week.

Here's a thread to help you find the Revelation book changes: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/126117/1.ashx
I'm not sure what you're asking on the other questions. Do you want to know what a District Convention is like? (When 1,000's of JW's all meet in the same place for a weekend) I think that's what you're shooting for. If so:
A District Convention is like a 3-day meeting, Friday-Sunday. (Are they 2-day now? Not sure) There are talks upon talks upon talks -- it is seriously one of the most boring experiences imaginable. The worst in my opinion is the "symposiums", where 3-4 brothers give short talks on the same subject over an hour. The plays you refer to are the "dramas" which everyone looks forward to as the only "cool" part of the whole deal. Oh, and they usually release a new book or two at these things.

i've been to three and they were three days and bored the HELL-O out of me. The dramas.. yeah that is it. That was truly the best part of the weekend. All the thousands of people scare me especially when I want to get up to get a drink (from the VENDING MACHINE, that I was told I could not use) and men in suits guide me to a water (of discusting taste) fountain. I'm so glad Im not involved in this religion because that would be the worst weekends of my life. lol

garybuss had an interesting interaction with a brother and a vending machine if I recall. If he reads this he may be able to recount it for you ;)
