  For me, a European, this picture seems so US right wing, republican, thea party.

  It's a real US bible belt religion.

  @InsidetheKH your overall impression doesn't surprise me at all. It's the standard answer a witness will give. "It was a great convention. We are close to the end!". My opinion is that of of the small popultation witness (maybe 0,5%) that have done away their programation and look with a clear view what happens arround them. This year my family members didn't say "It was a great convention". That's new for me.

  It's great to know that we were so close together @ Utrecht DC and now both are joining this discussion. "It's a great discussion! We are close to the end!". Whahahah

  As I wrote in my starting post above, this DC wasn't bad at all, they didn't say creazy things, and have become a mainstream TV religion, beside the remarks of "Click on Genesis xx vers xx on your tablet". But that's small amount.

  BobFlanagan they showed someone dying at emergency hospital the hartbeat went a flatliner. I never heard a convention so silent.Later in the short video the girl was resurrected.

  It was so real.

  Many witness had to cry and some of them left crying the hall.

  From my opinion it was un responsible to make and show this movie.

  It makes use of very cheap emotions.

  But that is the status of many unbalanced witnesses.

  Particular one thing was irritating me: a speaker did say "please click genesis x vers x on your tablet".

  It looked like persons with real bibles are crazy.

  I'm in for a seperation between religion and technolgy.

  The WT and some of it's closes followers are merging it.

  No international convention, just a DC.

  There are 5 DC's in The Netherlands with aprox 8000 visitors, in total 40000. Every year the same.

  34 baptism this weekend and 34 at the other DC.

  Again, they are more mainstream then ever. In a few years it will be a convention like the TV religion in the US.

  The drama was Lett, worser it was a mefiafile with Lett and undertitled in Dutch.

  Because it was so mainstream attending was not so hard for this critic analyzer.

  This weekend we visited the convention. My findings:

  - No JW.org marketing here at this moment. Seems a step to far for non-english speaking country's.

  - No Silver Sword for the Netherlands. We got a dutch translation of the intro and the appendix only. The Bethel speaker told us that a new translation is not expected in our language.

  - The 100 year of Kingdom rule was mentioned at some time but the year 1914 is not mentioned once!

  - the multi media parts were over the top. The flatliner video was making adventage of cheap emotions. Some left crying the convention hall. It was a stap too far.

  The new film, showed for 1.30 minuted seems an US real happened movie.

  Stephan Lett was presenting the Drama. He seemed Donald Duck. He was more drama then the play.

  So my overall conclusion was that this convention was not bad at all. No crazy remarks it went very mainstream.

  With the use of all the multi media stuff I see a transformation to a US Television mainstream religion.

  It's crazy. I wrote an earlier post about it. Rebranding to JW.ORG, a runaway train.

  Happy my grandparents don't have to see this, old style JW they were.
