    Simon,

    The convention is "Witnesses Now For Jesus"

    Next year will be the 25th year it has been held.

    ThiChi,

    You were not very likely to see drums etc. at the WT conventions.

    I intended to give Cynthia's screen name and didn't, she is "Brymichmom"

    Also, Sunstarr in the background working the mixer.

    Sorry Sunstarr, I was too slow posting.

    jjrizo,

    Too many twinkies!

    You are probably right. Anyway he is not on line right now so we can say that.

    ThiChi,

    I didn't think you went back far enough to remember when they had some real music. I don't know what they use now, CDs maybe?

    I enjoyed the pictures. Especially the one of Elvis !!!! But it did look to much like a JW thing to me too. Long Shhhhhhiver !

    For those of you who think that it's too close for comfort and would feel like a JW thing:

    No! It's the farthest thing from it. Name tags are good because then we know who we are and with my memory, I forget someone's name 5 minutes after they told me.

    The music is fabulous--nothing like those stupid kingdom songs.

    You don't have to sit there and listen to boring speakers drone on and on. You can get up go to your room and take a nap if you need to. But the speakers aren't boring at all!

    And best of all, the food there is GREAT!

    Cynthia
