The local hall recently sold some property to the state for a road improvement project that is sorely needed. They received about $20,000. Guess what? A resolution was read last week that will send $15,000 of it to world headquarters. I couldn’t believe it! Almost everyone in attendance raised their hands in agreement. I just sat there in complete disgust.
Oh well, it’s not my money.
i went to the convention this past weekend in cleveland with my wife and son.
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.
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.
We have and awesome Judicial System
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.

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?

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.
