  JE-sus making a comeback at the 2024 Convention

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  attended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .

  the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.

  there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.

  Great photo, DOYKL -- thanks for share. Clearly no wall to wall attendance but, of course, per WT plans. That's hard to believe. Be nice to know how many venues/assembly halls scheduled this yr. for conventions compared to previously.

  Evidently per photo JWs have endured enough of WT's 'Good News'. Perhaps WT try tent revivals on smaller scale to 'Declare the Good News'. Might help rev up attendance.

  I'd much rather attend a Benny Hinn event.

  I agree re/scant number of bodies in attendance at conventions but not sure they're collapsing (unfortunately) soon. We've all read churches are packed/folding - it can't be both and WT holding good in comparison. Not sure that's true in US. Maybe folks just stay comfy and watch the TV evangelizers like they do NASCAR. Hard to tell with no PIMOs in mainstreamer churches. Compared to the early 90s the attendance is sparse.

  Blondie's "highlights" from the May 2024 Study WT Paragraphs 1-10

  2. friends

  i have not read a wt for many years, but a comment on jwn prompted me to check out this one study article #19. i was stunned, they addressed many observations i have made in the "comments you will not hear" over the years.

  this segment will contain comments on the section called what we do not know paragraphs 1 through 10. i will post what we do know” in another original post covering paragraphs 11 through 17”.

  1) definition of "king of the south" and "king of the north.

  Photos of convention attendees roped/corralled off posted all over the internet had to be embarrassing for WT or they're too busy gloating about the cheap rental rate negotiated. After all, they're real estate experts.

  Bet the papparazzi nazi is on patrol this year - no cell phone photos allowed inside arenas other than designated areas. Another bozo no-no for JWs.

  They must also change the treatment of those who dissociate themselves from the JWs. It is inevitable

  from reddit ex jw, a user posted this material of a hypothetical new light on dissociated people......i'm posting it only for the record, nothing else is known.

  it seems that the topic has been deleted either by the moderators or by the user himself.

  understanding dissociation in light of the scriptures.

  Not a chance they'll change treatment only lie about it.
