I would guess this is the wave of the future. A secondary channel of business revenue for the WTS - compensation for recommending restaurants, tours, etc. in international convention cities.
I'm sure Jesus would have been thrilled to visit the Space Needle if he'd had the good fortune to be born 2000 years later.
Are all conventions doing this or is it just Seattle? Seattle seems to have a rich amount of JW's to support this.
I think one of my cousins is putting together some song mix CD for the delegates which I thought was rather
strange since she's using worlding songs and not JW songs.
Is there only one convention held at Husky Stadium?
Happy 4th of July!
Enjoy it in your suits and dresses sitting outside on hard stadium seats for 8 hours a day.
Here are a few more:

"Congregations are now being invited to assist in the initial cleaning of Husky Stadium on Thursday, July 3rd starting at 9:00 a.m. Due to the compressed schedule, all who come on that day must be focused on working while at the stadium. No young children will be allowed. Workers must be at least 16 years old, although those 13-15 will be permitted if working directly with their parent."
.
So a child of 6 or 8 years old qualifies for baptism (a lifelong "contract")....but isn't considered old enough or mature enough to clean the stadium as slave labor? Really?
These are the International Conventions. Seattle is hosting one next weekend. I'll be there. Yay me!!!
Actually, this site is very useful. The elders in my cong haven't explained things very well regarding parking. This site has done a far better job. So, for what it's worth, I'm grateful someone put it together.
They only expect 37k for attendance, that's low already. I guess they don't have much faith in the brotherhood or its propaganda for when more show up.
WTF does this mean:
Your evening program of entertainment and association will be held at either the Renaissance Hotel or the Bell Harbor Conference Center at Pier 66. Buses will take you to the program. See your itinerary for the place, date and time.
It's on the website. I've never heard of such a thing.
I live in the Seattle area, I suspect traffic around this is going to be a mess. 300,000 people heading for Gas Works Park for the fireworks show won't help.
