Next year's District Convention will be 4 days? (page 2)

I remember the 8 day ASSemblies.

That's nuthin'. I remembers when assemblies were all year round, and you only got Christmas and Easter off.

The search engine is being redeveloped. Once it comes back up, anyone who wishes to find the thread(s) should search them up. However, I believe that it was one where the venue had one booked up for 4 days next year. I think it was in Minneapolis. That was posted a few weeks ago.

IF they revert to the four days and they revert to the 1914-generation thesis i shall return to the fold, wearing my knickers this time.

I found the thread, and it is www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/137599/1.ashx . You will be able to find all the information I saw on that thread. There is no 100% guarantee that it is accurate; however, when they book a facility a year in advance, there is a pretty good chance that it is.

I wonder if the main talk at the assemblies/conventions will be 1/2 hour?

international conventions are still 4 days long, or at least it was the one I attended 5 years ago.

blondie, there were a lot of 10 minutes talks this year so I think the trend is definitely to shorten them.

Although i dont know it would make sense.

Conventions are intense brainwashing sessions, meetings are just brainwashing sessions. The Society might feel people arent doing what they should be.

I remember the 8-day conventions, the 6-day conventions, the 5-day, the 4-day and now the 3-day. During the period of the 4-day conventions, there would occasionally have a 5-day. So it wouldn't surprise me that there will a 4-day next year, reverting back to 3-day the following year--that is, if Armageddon doesn't come first.....

Until I get more information, I am just going to go with the theory that the convention sites need to be booked for 4 days in order to prepare the place for the 3-day convention. I remember once having guard duty the night and early morning before the Friday session and stuff was mostly set up Thursday evening by the time I came in.

Nope..I went to an international last year in Europe...3 days...just a little bit longer sessions because of translations and GB running off at the mouth in the final part.

I am only going to sunday session of the DC next week...not taking any more time off work. Ironically, I took today off work and could have went to the Friday session. But why would I do that when I can sit and chat with y'all here? (Plus I have a lot of other things to do besides get my a*s sore in a arena seat for 6 hours.)
