  Well, this was my first ever glimpse of the DNC. Too bad I was still a loyal Dub in 2000 because my hometown of Philadelphia hosted the event.

  I must say that if the District Conventions had live musical guests, or energetic speeches, or if guests were allowed to bring in colorful signs in support of their state and nominee (or, favorite speaker and congregation), or if the Brothers giving talks used a teleprompter instead of paper, or if they just made the convention both and educational AND fun event, I MIGHT just THINK about going.

  But, even if they did all of those things, I'd still choose the DNC over the JWDC.

  Hey Big Bri-Bri -

  I thought the same thing as I watched some clips from the DNC. JW conventions were/are ass numbingly boring and repetitive.

  although...at JW DC's Black Eyed Pea's song would be appropriate...the lyrics on the CD say "Let's Get Retarded in Here" LOL

  We need a speaker like ol' Reverend Al Sharpton. He sure gets them fired up. Barak Obamma blew the roof off that place.

  Geez, a DNC convention vs a JW convention. I don't know which one I'd fall asleep at first.

  I think the JWDC's should have a live orchestra. Each convention can have a guest Governing Body Composer.
