a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.
congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.
take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.
Blondie you are so right re. those scenarios. Growing up with single mom and several siblings trying to get to and around convention. Those were the days of long conventions with afternoon witnessing. My poor mom struggled, I don't know how she did it.
As much as they are looking forward to this event there are some approaching it with some trepidation. Responsible elders locally and at Branch are trying to reassure everyone that all is well.

KateW, no joke. I wish it were... especially that last one for New Orleans delegates. Unfortunately I know several JW at various levels in the Organization and they are all looking forward to this historic event in spite of the expense and trouble.
Forgot to mention... there will be hospitality committees responsible for entertaining foreign delegates after hours.

Dallas - Attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route. Do not use GPS. There are areas of AT&T (Cowboys) Stadium off-limits because the Jerry Jones family has valuable items on display.
New Orleans - Carry two wallets in case you are robbed. Keep a small amount of cash in the wallet you will hand over to your assailant.
new guidelines for field service coming this summer.
new publication to be released giving new ways of counting time, conducting studies, group activities, etc..
Sorry for brevity and lack of info. A relative at Bethel sent the publication, but since I'm on the "outs" with most family members I'm having a hard time getting my hand on the release. They've been reading and discussing excerpts. That's the best I can do for now. Hopefully this may prod someone else to post it.

we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.
got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .
What Raymond Frantz said on page 2. In the U.S. the Regional Building Committees are changing to Local Design & Planning Committees or something to that effect. BOEs met this past weekend, at least in the southern U.S.

I can't find the video on the linked page in the OP. Would someone link or explain where the video/audio is located. Thanks!
in the u.s. there are fewer venues this year, but they will be held in larger facilities.
as long as i can remember my family travelled no more than 2 hours to attend and in the last few years the dc was local (within a few minutes travel).
this year my family is driving 6 hours to a major u.s. city.
My MIL is assigned to New Orleans, but she doesn't want to travel there by herself so she will be attending with my wife. Most of the conventions in the U.S. will be International conventions and most of the congregations will be assigned to an international, but there are a few non-International conventions that will be tied-in to the Internationals during certain talks by GB and other heavies.
my mom (who is now a regular pioneer) has been laid up after having major surgery, and i assert my "biblical" rights as a daughter to do what i can to take care of her, so i have been trying to go to her house on my day off to vaccum and run errands for her since she is not supposed to drive.. she called me last saturday to tell me that i couldn't come by because she was driving to her pioneer appreciation day get-together, wtf .
i'm just curious if this only happens in my area (michigan, us)????.
chg. .
They do it every year here in a few southern U.S. congregations I'm familiar with. In my wife's congregation they had a dinner for the pioneers. In a neighboring congregation they did a black & white (formal affair) after the hour-long pioneer meeting; most of the congregation was invited to do obeisance to the pioneers! lol
It is a pretty common thing around here.
i wanted to make hotel reservations at a place my wife and i like to use, but my wife told me she already made reservations.
she said the wts has the list on jwdotorg.. anyone else know about the recommended lodging list being online?
i couldn't find it.
Sahs - I probably didn't word the OP clearly. I'm not attending the DC, and I'm not messed up about the reservations my wife made. I was simply interested in finding out about WTS' use of JW.org. I'm on a course separate from the WTS and doing alright. I still have a lot of family involved so there are still some things that pique my interest on occasion.
I found out the WTS has lodging lists on their website and congregation members use a login to access. Just passing this along as I found it interesting.
