  I guess it was a little surreal to hear so much emphasis put on Jesus.

  so as usually unavoidable, i was seating at the wt meeting this sunday.

  we've got there about 15 min late.

  i don't know the title of the talk but when we got there, brother elder was talking about experiences of families that have simplified their life to support these old men, i mean, to serve the kingdom more.

  I guess that brother was never a recipient of it.

  @ StarTrekAngel:

  I seem to remember accounts reports read at all conventions as well. We would always have massive "deficits". Maybe it was a regional thing?

  @ nowwhat?

  Are we finally becoming a Christian religion?

  You are kidding right? Until they adjust their view of molestation, blood and shunning, they CANNOT be a Christian anything!

  @ cappytan:

  Approximately how many were there on Saturday for the baptism? In Cleveland, there were about 6,500 on Saturday and only 31 were baptized. Another interesting thing that I noticed during the baptismal talk were the video interviews. That is new.

  @ DesirousOfChange:

  There has never been an accounts report at Dist Conventions.

  Are you sure about that? I remember accounts reports being read for all conventions. Are they even still read at regular meetings?

  My Name is of No Consequence

  I went to the convention this past weekend in Cleveland with my wife and son. I did not want to go, but I went. Most of the session was the status quo, but here are some of observations that I believe are worth noting:

  1. I did not see a lot of “jw.org” advertisements and the website was not mentioned a whole lot during the session. Perhaps the jw.org mania has died down a bit?

  2. On Friday, there were only about 5,500 in attendance. I remember in years past how the attendance was 7,000+ even on Friday in Cleveland. Maybe it has to do with the shuffling around of circuits. Or maybe, less people are going.

  3. There were A LOT (and I mean A LOT) of videos and very few live experiences and demos. I noticed this trend last year at the international convention in Detroit.

  4. No live action drama? C’mon.

  5. There was no accounts report read. I repeat: There was no accounts report read. This must be something new. BTW, my wife wanted to donate with a credit card during the program and the a-hole attendant told her to wait until the program concluded. Guess what? She did not wait and we left. I told her that we need that money more than the org does.

  6. I have read in pervious threads that a video geared toward children was shown at the convention. Its message had to do with keeping children safe from abuse. No such video was shown at the convention I went to.

  I would love to hear from people that were there or people that would like to comment.

  "And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

  i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

  i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

  so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

  @ Terry:

  That may have been the best (un)witness that I ever read or heard about!

  Dub #1 looked at Dub #2 and a kind of electric signal zapped from one to the other.

  Too funny!!!
