last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

New Watchtower president

by neat blue dog in

the main corporation is two words "watch tower" society of pennsylvania.

don adams took over for milton henschel in 2000 when the governing body cut all corporate ties, and when he died robert ciranko took over for him in 2014.. the next major corporation in line is the one word "watchtower" society of new york.

the jw's first black corporate president, leon weaver jr., was president of this one up until recently.
