Because Of the Times 2016
 

Anyone here attending BOTT 2016?

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Is this like 'General Conference for the folks that don't like General Conference'?

I wish I was attending this year. I have family going, but I wasn't able to go.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Go!

You can go, because you really want to go. So, maybe you could work something out where you will be able to attend?

No, too far and too costly. Also, registration is closed.

Sorry

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Not like GC because BOTT is only for preachers. The general public cannot attend. Has been that way for a couple of decades due to space constraints. At one point the Manguns wanted to build a 5,000 seat sanctuary to accommodate more people but that didn't really make sense since the rest of the year they don't fill their current sanctuary.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Here is the lineup and schedule. I wonder if they will stream it live for the public this year? The didn't for the longest time but I seem to remember that last year they finally did.

Never been if I was in the area I might go a service?

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Registration is closed. They always book all they have room for and that includes overflow rooms with that demon video feed!

They don't live stream the services. They sell the DVDs, but no live stream. It'd be great if they did though.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

how many attend?

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

I am not sure. I believe their sanctuary holds around 3,000 people and then they have some overflow rooms with video feeds. Keep in mind most ministers attending have their wife with them so probably around 1500-2000 or so preachers there plus wives.

Unless things have changed it is the largest preachers conference in the UPC.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Never been...
But numerous friends and relatives go every year.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

You would think they'd rent a bigger place to hold it each year
since so many want to come and get locked out after the limit
has been reached.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

They can buy the DVD's!

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

My pastor and associate pastor went/are there.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

I guess no live webcast of BOTT this year? I don't see anything at the POA website.

They've never had a webcast.

My brother is there. He just face timed me for a minute during the service.

Really happy he could go this year. I went for several years in the 90s. Hopefully I'll be going next year.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

I know they historically did not but I could have sworn that last year or the year before they did but maybe I am remembering wrong.

While PoA may not live stream, thanks to Periscope there are several live video feeds from BOTT I have found tonight. The best quality was from user "HappyHattabaugh."

If you have a smartphone, download Periscope and you can watch free!

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Oh! You are being funny!

No, you aren't bitter, you are just a funny guy. :nod

HappyHootenpepper?

Or is that HappyHopperscotcher?

Or HappyHasenfeffer? :heeheehee

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

He doesn't look too happy? :heeheehee

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

He's camera shy, I'm sure that's what it is.

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

He must have an external phone battery pack to be able to broadcast that long on Periscope!

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

That's why he's happy! :happydance

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

Registration has always been open to anyone that is a minister (youth,kids,music,audio/visual,marketing,etc) in a local church, as well as pastors, pastors wives, PK's, and bible college students. This year, they've had a little more than 3,000 in the main sessions and 350 in the GAMC for the PK services. I would say there is very easily 3,900 people on campus at any given time during BOTT (POA BOTT staff,choir,etc.)

Re: Because Of the Times 2016
 

word is once again BOTT has been outstanding. just wish I was there.

I've watched a few Periscope live streams of the services. Man, JH Osborne was incredible last night. Watched a bit of Vesta and Terry Shock also, both were very good.

Art Wilson spoke at BOTT about the UN. There were three delegates from the UN at the conference. One of them received the Holy Ghost.
