    I am not against fictionalizing Bible stories. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, SAMSON & DELILAH,
    stuff like that. WTS can do it too. Their stories have a strange spin to them, but they have their
    stupid reasons for doing this.

    Now, they will make up a story out of thin air. There is no Biblical "end of the 1st century as the
    great apostasy was setting in." The Bible doesn't contain anything about it.

    The drama sounds like just another myth made up by the unfaithful and indiscreet assholes in Bethel. Anything to try and direct R&F to keep handing out the money!

    Thanks for the info.

    Where can one find out for when a district convention is scheduled for districts in England?

    So what types of releases do you think they'll have based on these talk titles?

    My guesses are on Friday they will release a book possibly replacing the YPA book, a book geared towards youth. May not be another collection of YPA articles since those are readily available on the WT CD and on their web-site.

    Also I heard that the congregations can no longer order the "Keep on the Watch" brochure. Anyone know if that is true and if they've stopped publishing that?

    If so my guess for Saturday is maybe a brochure to replace that to try and keep people in, or possibly a book on the holy spirit and how it can help to keep in Jehovah's love.

    Don't know if they'd release two books but it's been done before like in 2002. (Worship the Only True God) (Draw Close to Jehovah)

    Convention locations should be in the 3/1/08 public WatchTower. In the english US edition this year it just announced the locations in the US not in Europe, but if you found that magazine in Europe it should have the locations.

    This program is exactly the same as every year. It is mind-numbingly dull sounding. They really have no more ideas left. Wow.
