Brother Matt, welcome to the forum. May I give you a virtual hug. ((((((((((Welcome)))))))))).

Every convention has a distinguishing characteristic. That is what makes them exciting; you're going to find out after you attend. Don't fall into the trap of taking all the conventions to be the same and think that if you've attended last year's there's no big deal this year's. There is. Have you noticed how the symposiums are tailored and different along with the convention videos? Just to mention two.

Anyway, I believe you'll enjoy the virtual association with the international brotherhood this forum provides. I look forward to enjoying more and more of your posts.

((((((((((Welcome))))))))))

For Jehovah is aware of the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish (Psalm 1:6).

I just had my Circuit Assembly, and I tell ya.. What a shot in the arm! Jehovah ALWAYS knows just what we need, and he's sooo generous!

 

So we can only imagine what this year's Regional is going to be, especially with a theme like "DON'T GIVE UP." 

 

Even though we don't have any idea which convention will be the last one, in spite of our ongoing speculations, one thing is for sure: It's obvious Jehovah is preparing us for something, something that's going to happen real soon!

 

And we know what that "something" is.

Are not we going to have a Bible movie this year?

 

From what I've noticed it will be a modern movie showing only excerpts from Lot's story.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I get the impression that, as you say, this three-part movie will have both modern and Biblical scenes

I wonder if the Biblical scenes will give 'the wife of Lot' a fictitious name...

...........maybe going into the time of the great Tribulation, where we have to leave our home/possessions behind?

 

definitely another g.T.  Series.....I think....

SYMPOSIUM: Learn Endurance From Creation - More videos highlighting creation?  Hope so.

 

SYMPOSIUM: Enduring Despite . . .

SYMPOSIUM: How Jehovah “Supplies Endurance and Comfort” to . . .

These sound like they will bring much needed spiritual comfort for the brotherhood.

 

Jehovah—The Greatest Example of Endurance

Interesting one.  We don't normally think of Jehovah as having to endure.

In previous you could usually figure out which talk would have a release, some times the title of the talk wouldn't fit the theme of the convention. :)

I don't see any out of place talks in this program...
