The border where Detroit meets Gross Pointe Farms is about 7-8 miles from down town. Yes, you may be robbed and killed there.
Stick to down town.....I was wrong about the people mover going to the Motor City casino, it's the Greek Town casino.
I thought the International convention in Detroit was in June ???
Does anyone know which hotels they want the JW's to stay in ( Detroit ) ????

We had the privilege of being shown a vid of some bethel heavies from the branch having a little fireside chat encouraging all to attend the DC.
It just screamed desperation.
Really??? A video to encourage ppl to go to the DC? We can c it as desperation, but R&F will probably see it as loving from GB and Bethel. Ugh
scary- the hotels were not too bad down town, , MCC, book cadillac, courtyard on woodward, HI express.... but only about 6 or so..
Detroit is the Mogadishu of America, a gleaming example of how brilliantly liberal politics works, and it gets no lovelier than it is this time of year.
Just say "FUCK NO" to District Conventions.
That's right losingit a big ole scary-ass video. The emphasis was "everyone is welcome".
I find this news quite happifying.
I am not sure whether it's a case of JWs not feeling safe or JWs not having the funds to travel 2/3 hours away. I would say it's probably a combination of both.
They will be guilted by the WT to go to the assigned DC, but I know here in the UK JWs aren't assigned to go 3hrs away, unless of course that has changed with more being assigned to Twickenham.

This whole new DC thing may really backfire, people having to spend $thousands of dollars to take their family several hours away to a DC. How can poor JW's afford this? I actually make good money but with a family totalling 7 I would be pissed if I had to pay for hotels food and gas to go to one. My wife is going to go to a DC just a couple hours away but I'm still not happy with the money she will spend.
