Are convention dramas still a thing or have these been replaced by videos of dramas recorded in the USA?

Now its just recorded videos with sound in the background.
They want less,, less,, less,, & less individuality all the time. Less authenticity,,, more uniformity.(ahem,, unity 😐)

I remember when if you played a musical instrument, you were invited to play in the orchestra at assemblies. Some Nazi GB member put a quash on that. Imagine learning to play an instrument instead of spreading Satanic propaganda. Very inefficient. Ya vol mein herr capitan.
It looks like now those that like to play “dress up” have faced the same fate as their musically inclined counterparts.

Funny thing.
I'm told in this months gibbering update the rank and file are told not to idolise the participants in the video productions. My pimi friends said it was pathetic attempt but it is ok to idolise the gibbering buddies.
what a joke.
And yes, back in the day I was in dress up dramas and due to playing a musical instrument professionally was asked to play in convention orchestras. in 1969,,,,, just before armageddon lol lol. And up until they canned live assembly music.
Yes, correct. All videos are made in U.S. or in the case of Jesus advertisements, Australia.

Governing body praise.
But told not to idolize and fixate on participants.
A typical example of....having it both ways.
Cognitive dissonance.

Yes, let's not idolize actors in the video productions. It might distract from other forms of idolotry.

That photo above is incredible, and to think it was 25 years ago already!
Signing "Gift Bibles for public officials." - the jaw-dropping audacity! Pure idolatry.
These effete grifters have absolutely lost the plot and shown themselves to be the charlatans and false prophets that they are. And to think, today it's 100x worse!

Can you explain/expand this statement a bit? I've never heard of the last part.
