  Hi again

  Here in Santiago of Chile, we have a district convention hall, called "El Trébol". Its a very big place, and 10.000 people can be sat down in a comfort place for attending the talks and spending the time during the conventions. Why am I talking about this? Only for making you know that we can`t use "El Trébol" for a long time. The mayor of the sector where the hall is, is trying to close the place because the neiborghood is demanding it.

  Can you imagine 1.000 people every weekend, with their cars, not buying in the local stores, making too much noise with the loudspeakers in a sector where the people like to be in bed until late? Of course the people is tired to have a hall too near to their houses, with the JW disturbing their daily activities.

  For the WT, this assembly hall costed U$ 4 million. The publisher must pay it yet.

  Does this mean that the Assembly Hall is an outdoor type with open seating - is that how the neighbors here the loudspeakers? Just curious.

  Jeff, you`re ok. This assembly hall has 10.000 seats, and its covered by a ceiling but without walls. At distance it seems to be an ufo, completely metallic and brilliant. And it`s not strange, all the people think we are e.t.
