D.O. really just served COs & GBs..makes sense to put a few of them at "desk" jobs anyway. Why have travel costs & setting up housing costs for them? COs can give the talks for assemblies as they are just as good 'parrots' for GB.
In U.S. about 686 COs (apprx. 20 congs per circuit,,so about a few dozen DOs to displace?

EVIDENCE CONVENTION-ATTENDANCES ARE IN DECLINE?
by steve2 inthere are many threads on this forum about the stultifying tedium of the conventions.
memories of one convention merge with every other convention over the years with few sticking out as high points.. in recent years, there have been lots of anecdotal reports (primarily from western countries) of an astonishingly low number of baptismal candidates at these conventions, and in particular district conventions - especially compared to the higher numbers who presented for baptisms in earlier decades.
is this decline also reflected in general attendances at the conventions?.

** wasn't it just a couple years ago or so, that congregation book studies, often just blocks away, were dropped altogether, not temporarialy, due to 'gas costs'????? ***** (tho many suspect there was more reason than that).
Seems since many to most JWs would rather go to a convention local, short distance. The cost of motels, gas and bother of box lunches, especially when coming from a distance would be certainly a bother. It's such rush trip for many. Seems getting to know others rushing in and out, no convenience to meeting other individuals much anyway. Years ago, attenders worked together in cafeteria/refreshment setups,etc. met other JWs more conveniently. Made things a bit more fun for older kids and teenagers too (of course, we kids were desperate to meet kids, (being deprived of school friends).. Now, the WTS makes many to go much further to conventions, and they don't care the about gas & motel costs??? Such a contradictory organization.
Seems WTS would suspect to receive more contibutions for them,, if the rank & file don't have to put so much out for long distance spin, spin trips.
I know it gives JWs excitement to see thousands of other JWs at one time. But the Headquarters could put up a movie/slide show of "all the brothers send their greetings and love to you from" from this and that state,,show short clips, moving or still, from several states/countries. I think most people would get a charge out of that for a few minutes or so. And that would be sufficient.

International Conventions for 2014 - Landover, MD - What is an International Convention?
by insearchoftruth inhave been out of touch for a while, i see that there is an 'international' convention this year in landover, md (fed ex field) and there are no english conventions in either richmond or hampton, va. what is an 'international convention', is it merely a consolidation of all the other conventions meant to whip up some fervor amongst the masses?.

Probably brings in the "cash" for WTS. Or, they'll discontinue them.
