every year in dozens of cities where conventions are being held, newspapers typically write an article about the event.
there are exceptions, but usually it is like the articles above.
i would love to see more newspaper articles that did some actual objective reporting, rather than puff pieces.
Focus. The subject is on JW convention attendees as opposed to other type of conventions.
So JWs cherry pick scriptures to justify their beliefs differently than other forms of Christianity, so what! Just another religion.
This does not subtract from the fact that their conventions are very clean, orderly filled with lovely looking people.
Relax.

In any conglomerate of people there will exist ALL kinds.
I remember living up North and having to leave the town for a couple of weeks because the bikers would swarm the area; and by the time the last one was gone, the area was trashed to the max, Law Enforcement and the Town's people were spent and highly stressed out, then a couple of months later, here comes the tattoo artists and enthusiasts of New England. Now, I dare anyone to find me a worse crowd of weirdos, misfits and freaks, all that also effortlessly destroyed the place. This continues to happen annually still.
JWs welcomed anytime!!!

There is a clear difference between a JW convention and a convention of bikers or tattoo enthusiasts or politicians, etc., in terms of civil order, peace and cleanliness.
It can be easily noticed by the unbiased/objective journalist that JW conventions on top of the financial gains to the area, also bring orderly, clean, law-abiding, well groomed individuals.
I know...., it is difficult for many in this forum to attach any credit to the WTBTS.

well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.
she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.
i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.
Sadden by your loss.
Your mother died due to lung and skin cancer; internal bleeding cannot be stopped by mere transfusing blood, only elongate the already horrible, painful circumstances.
May the good memories provide you comfort.

Some are still drinking the 'Kool-Aid'!
Heard over the weekend of a young couple, living very comfortably due to inheritances and profitable business, that is prepping their home because they're selling to simplify their life in order to both pioneer where the 'need is great'.
OMG, some people are still big time blinded by the WTBTS. Unreal!

Are you implying that all 'mutts' (mixed race) look alike? (smiles)

you can't unring a bell once rung.. you can't unknow nor can you forget being deceived, tricked, lied to and misled.. the truly awful aftershock of waking up to the 'truth about the truth' is the death of wonder,.
belief, and absolute certainty that you know what life is all about.
in fact, for most of us the path is the same.we begin investigating our foundational belief system.
Born-in. Never felt that 'tingle', just went through the motions and when very young got baptized to please my parents.
Currently in search of a hobby that would satisfy my intellect.

im in the process of drifting out.
my entire family are jw's.
my wife and her family are too.
Google "ex jw critical thinker" and view the video on either to 'Fade or Disassociate'. It's excellent!
