From 400 conventions to 100. Many Jw's will be pissed. Forcing them to travel much longer distances or to spend more money for hotels and food.
It's always about money...not enough money coming in.
Where's the God that promised to take care of them?

It's obvious what they are doing. They want to have larger groups with larger baptisms. They want people to feel part of a larger organization.
They want to re-capture the excitement of the past. Myriads and Myriads of brothers.
Small conventions have gotten to be too easy, too predictable, life-less. And they really don't have enough of the talented motivated speakers to put on an encouraging small convention.
