  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. He was interviewed yesterday evening on TV - you can watch the video by clicking the link to the WDR TV website below:
  

  Kölner Treff (19.05.2017)
  

  Konja Simon Rohde: For 32 years the religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses dominated his life. Konja Simon Rohde leaned on the expectations of parents and community. His elder brother broke the pressure and committed suicide. Konja Simon is also suffering more and more from mental and physical ailments and is in doubt. At the end of 2009, he ventured to leave the sect and lost all social ties. For a long time he wanted, above all, that rest in his life. But now he is reporting on his experiences.

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  by pale.emperor in

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.

  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-

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4802048488898560/2017-jw-conventions

  Apparently in the USA alone, there are 268 English Conventions and 213 Non-English Conventions for a total of 481 Conventions

  Gayle certainly has their work cut-out.....
