What do jws need a digital scoreboard for?

The Panthers provided testimony supporting the projected economic impact. A representative of the Jehovah’s Witnesses told the commissioners that a multi-year deal to hold the annual church convention at the arena (known lately as the BB&T Center) hinged on a new scoreboard. (Why the Witnesses need a digital scoreboard might invite satirical speculation but, given the perilous state of my own mortal soul, I’ll leave that to the readers.)

By comparison, the Dolphins said they would pay more than half the cost of renovating Sun Life Stadium. Instead of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Dolphins promised to bring in a Super Bowl. Yet voters still seemed inclined to say no, let the Dolphins pay for their own improvements.

Sounds like a little graft/backroom deal to *this* reader. tal

Translation: Brother Suck-up just happens to be a contractor specializing in the installation of digital scoreboards in sports arenas.

And he promised to provide substantial funds to help construct a new assembly hall in Tahiti (or was that Bali?) which of course will need several governing body members, and their wives, present when it is dedicated.

I have a guess. On top of the obvious to me green palm deal, the WT can plae up the numer of baptized people, number of publisher hours, etc etc... with it ever growning ( with a good bit of statictic spinning of course) to garner excitement from the crowd in a new way. It is a specticle in that it will keep changing, you know like the national debt ticker specticle.
