hey, i've pasted below, a link to an article about the jw convention in the state of oklahoma, just sent to me by a jw relative.
according to their spokeman, it's the first one to be held this year.
he is also quick to mention all the 'persecution' in russia, while staying silent on the worldwide abuse, and shunning issues (a form of persecution in itself, imo).. if anyone would like to help me add to the comments section, it'd be appreciated.

no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .
Listener: They may not have mentioned a date but didn't someone point out that the year's text showing at the Kingdom Hall was the one they had for 1975?
Firstly, yes the yeartext match up, both for 1975, and then afterwards for 1976.
Secondly - apparently they are specifically mentioning that it's about 1975!

Aren't there more assemblies than this in the US? I'm a bit, (OK, more than a bit) out of touch, but surely there are more than 12 this year.
Why don't you ask 'trend-spotter' Christian Gutierrez - but he's probably too busy trend-spotting -j/k-

i simply cannot figure out how to quote someone with the standard yellow box.
i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.
smiddy: My excuse is old age
isn't that like, you know, ageist?
A casual ageism that perpetuates the stereotype of older people
my doctor in his 60's so i hope he's ok.....forty-two percent of u.s physicians are older than 55, and 21% are senior citizens.
some older doctors are calling for periodic screening for dementia or loss of competence.
so are older doctors really worse than their young colleagues, on average they are, (holy sh--t).surgeons between the ages of 41-60 were more likely to keep their patient alive than were surgeons older than 60.....
My new doctor, 30 year old female..
haha!!!!

17 may 2017 • 6:00pmblood donors may no longer be needed in the future after scientists showed it was possible to create blood from stem cells.. the 20 year project could pave the way for an unlimited number of blood and immune cells for transplants, simply by reprogramming a patient’s own skin cells.. the research, reported in the journal nature, holds out enormous promise for developing personalised treatments for blood disorders, drug-screening and reducing shortages of donated blood.. dr ryohichi sugimura, of boston children's hospital, said: "this gives us the potential to have a limitless supply of blood stem cells and blood by taking cells from universal donors.
