I had a very odd dream last night. I was suddenly in a large wooden park full of people. It was the park outside the convention center at Cedar Point Ohio. Looking around I soon realized I was at the 1922 Cedar Point Ohio Convention. But why on Earth would Jehovah bring me back in time to this point (Just a note, time travel is very much impossible, the past is over, and the future is yet to be written.) So, I quickly looked around to assess my situation and I saw George Driscoll standing on a platform adjusting a tripod. Next to the platform I saw Brother Rutherford, Mac and a few others. I approached the group of Brothers.
Gregory: "Brother Rutherford, I need to speak with you." Rutherford: "And just who are you?" Gregory: "I'm Gregory Watts and I believe George is not being honest with you." George: "Excuse me!?" I then quickly jumped on the platform and picked up a flat head screwdriver (Phillips is still a few years to be invented.) With the screwdriver I tapped the side of the film casement. A very hollow sound was returned. Gregory: "George, is there any film in there before I open the casement?" George: "Of course." George places his hand over the casement. Gregory: "Stand back, I intend to show Brother Rutherford that there is no film in there and you are scamming the Friends." George: "If you open that casement, you will ruin some very costly film." I opened the casement and as feared it was empty. I then jumped down from the platform. Turning to Mac. Gregory: "Mac you better call...Sorry Brother Rutherford, do you think it would be a good idea to call Bethel and pull the adverts for the pre-orders of the film?" Rutherford: "Mac can you take care of that?" Mac: "Yes; right on it." Rutherford: "As for you..." He grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and started dragging me along. "I have a few questions for you." George: "Wait!" Brother Rutherford stopped his march with me in toe. "Gregory, how did you know there was no film in the casement." I then explained I knew about his endeavor with Rutherford to provide films for IBSA and how he cut the 35mm in two to get 17.5, but that he has just learned that Kodak had released 16mm film because George bragged. George bowed his head. I explained that because of his pride for notice, he was scamming the Friends and had no intent to provide footage of the most important convention ever. At that point Brother Rutherford raised tall, if he could get taller and looked at me. I explained what the conclusion of "The Kingdom" talk would be and why it was important. It was then apparent that Geroge realized what he had done and his face expressed his anguish of heart. George: "I have 30 minutes of unspent film, how can I fix this." Gregory: "At the point that Brother Rutherford has only 20 minutes left in the talk..." I mentioned that key phrase from the talk and Rutherford again looked surprised. "Start filming and continue filming until the banner is unfurled and pan the audience." Rutherford: "How do you know this, are you an angel?" I let out a laugh. Gregory: "Have you ever seen a fat angel? Would Jehovah make a perfect creature look like me? No I'm not an angel, I was sent here to ensure that the most important convention in the world gets captured on film." The dream went on a bit more then I had to return to my own time, I did not get to hear the talk. I woke up and thought, there has to be a surviving copy. Perhaps Driscoll did actually film "The Kingdom" talk and that talk is still in the can somewhere. In my dream Jehovah told me this was an important time in the history of His people and that He has ensured that a copy of the talk has survived. But it really would have been great if He told me where. No do not think the dream is inspired or I believe Jehovah talks to me through dreams. I have dreams of Bible themes a lot, the New World, the 1,000-year rule, and the battle of Armageddon, none of these dreams are inspired or from the Lord. When I am struggling to understand something or trying to work something out I dream about it. The 1922 convention has been a research project of late and on my mind, and it seems like Jehovah would have had at least "The Kingdom" talk recorded.
