I've got notes. I'll post some when I get chance.
(maybe toilet break today if I can get Internet..)
The long weekend of B.S begins - UK.

We see so many photo's of the JWs making their way to their seats or sitting listening but we rarely see those joyous faces leaving the convention after such tremendous upbuilding with all this spiritual food.

My mother has gone up to Twickenham (H.Q), best when the rugby is on methinks!!!
She has been ill recently but went anyway. She makes me sick. She never comes to visit her only grandchild or send him any pocket money but is spending a shitload of cash to be a good little jw. I put the phone down on her last time we spoke, I was that angry.

Most of my JW family will be going to the Excel centre this weekend. Despite the fact I live 20 mins away I don't expect any calls / visits, far too much effort.
Instead I shall be at the apostate convention in Vauxhall today, in the pub. ;)

Some sisters on instagram have been gushing about how much they enjoyed Samuel Herd's talk and how wonderful he is with such a great sense of humour. I can't say I was laughing much when I listened to his Stepford Wives style talk about women on you tube. Maybe they think that being told that their brains are inferior and that their purpose in life is to get up at the crack of dawn to cook breakfast and bake biscuits for their men is hilariously funny?!!

63 baptised here in Glasgow, Scotland (28 male, 35 female) from an attendance of 8164.
About par for Scotland from what I remember from previous years - maybe a few more than the last few conventions.
Anecdotal observation: the young/old split of baptisms was about a 50/50 split - not all teenagers but certainly a sizeable amount. I don't think I saw any pre-teen, really young kids getting baptised - maybe one young boy who could possibly have come into that category.
Definitely the most boring convention ever. And I think Sam Herd is back on this afternoon...

I'm sure you'd all love to know this, but the family and I have come down with d&v just in time for what is undoubtedly our last convention! I joked with my wife that it was jehovahs way of telling us that we were making the right choice lol. Although I'd rather not feel washed out for the next few days.

Lurker - sound like you'll be having a better time than those that attend the convention. I know I would have preferred food poisoning to the mental poisoning at the convention.

Herd was off again today but well trumped by Letts on screen, narrating something from 1 Kings. When does that nut job blink?? Anyone else notice he kept saying "begins" instead of "begin"?

disposable hero of hypocrisy
After I asked her if she thought he was computer generated, (Letts) my missus said that he looked like something from 'spitting image'!
(a reference probably lost on our American and other friends here, but it made ME laugh. A bit too loudly too!)
