I am writing this from memory I didn't ake notes so forgive me if it is out of order.
Sumary
It started off with the annoucement of a bible display (Mueseum) being built that focuses on Jehovah's name in the bible. (I found it funny that few if any bible predate the 12th century because that's when the word Jehovah was created bet that get's left out) The speaker went into the work done searching for various and the miracles donations and loans that happened to bring this about. Many poor bethel brothers donated their stipend (I get that that was dropped in to guilt the brothers into thinking about how they aren't donating their share) to find the rare bibles.
There was several hints that a bible was about to be released. A video interview of those that attended the last release plus a video that constantly stated that the old translating comity did not want to reveal who they were. (but all through the program they hint it was the GB and writing dept. of the time)
Then came the big reveal a grey NWT bible. I have to say even though I am out I was exicited to get it. It's a nice parting gift. Every there was exicited as well but you did get a feeling in the audience that hey this is it. No the end is nigh just a new bible. Also it is going to be fun at the meeting from now on as this bible is to be used right now. As anyone know that never goes well in the corporate world you need a phase in time.
Finally we come to the part that almost gave me up and I do believe gave a fellow apostate in the building the app show I had to really hold back the laghter as it was clearly trying to hard to make them look cool to younger ones and relate to the tech culture. I would say to a level it worked on the crowd.
Review
Simply put it felt like any other corporate meeting. If you have ever had the plessure to go to one or at least see one on TV there is way to much attempt at humor. Which more often than not lead to akwards bits of silence and unease. This was a product roll out and I fully suspect this will become an annual event and replace the SAD or just be added to the calender it's for the most part free to them as it just required using halls.
Also this in my opinion could not have been streamed. It had to have been downloaded as the quote of timing was off between my timezone and theirs on the east coast. I could be wrong but doubt it. Also there was an interuption and it was quickly fixed with no chop ahead in time like streaming it was like someone hit pause on accident.
Also it felt like a show put on by the GB to cash in on their fame in the society and like someone said become visable pope like leaders.
So that is it.
