HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA----------------------GASP----------------------HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, I have heard that garbage too many times in the last five decades about every single last "special" meeting, and they are nothing but a boring snooze fest about ten toes, or some other minutiae.

We went to one about 5 or 6 years ago. They had the meeting out in the middle of BFN at an assembly hall. It was a the end is near but we need money special meeting. Some of the further away congregations chartered busses to get there. It was very successful in that people were lined up to put their money in the contribution boxes.

FED UP JW:
I remembered those ‘Special Meetings’ and everybody getting all excited - and they end up being a lot of nothing.
I was of the opinion that these special meetings are a tactic the religion uses to count how many of the ‘faithful’ (gullible) will come running..Like, maybe it’s a yardstick by which to measure just how many ‘faithful JWs’ are actually still in the religion.

That ought to be a nice waste of the weekend. Spending several hours on something that can be summed up in about a minute sounds more like a poverty or hardship working on the congregation and harvesting spiritual energy for the purpose of allowing reptilian monsters to ruin life on our earth than any real information. I would simply not go at all, and if you must go, disregard everything you hear therein. They want more donations, start donating nothing. They want more field circus, stop going at all. They want people to go to boasting sessions despite Wuhan Flu or H5N1/H5N8, start letting the slightest tiredness be an excuse to miss one. They want you to quit your job to pious-sneer, and your job is decent, keep the job and cut back on field circus.
Or, perhaps now is a good time to stock up on things you keep. Food is a good place to start these days, with China under lockdown (such will create shortages, virus or none). Or, perhaps you need to assess whether or not you have the basic tools (common screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, and a good set of pliers is the bare minimum). Maybe that washtowel donation money could go into silver or gold. And, you might wish to start buying a few sun-worship decorations now before the Chinese shortage hits--by next fall, it could well be too late.

They are masters at dangling the carrot in front of the faithfull to heighten expectations of some new revelation being revealed only to walk away afterward of feeling let down yet again.

Might be about the release of the new ArmageddonApp for your phone.
Makes a ticking noise in your pocket with a subliminal chant of "Donate, donate, donate!"
If you dont use your CC within 24 hours you get hit by lightning.

Maybe they're going to eliminate weekday meetings and put it all online. And set up a bank account auto transfer system requirement...garnish those meagher assets.... Or dissolve circuits.... Or ....oh who really gives a poop.

if it is 3 hours worth, it sounds most like a Branch Visit to your governing Branch Office. The concluding part of that is a meeting for the Bethel family which is streamed to the congs.
They are a bit of a marathon for even the keenest and fittest

I'm going to make a wild stab in the dark here....
They need your money! And it will take them 3 hours to convince you of this.
