That seems to be the consensus..
Regardless regardless of which country or which part of the country the WBT$ JW Assembly is held..
The WBT$ is definitely targeting children..

I TRULY don't miss these business conventions, either, dear Sher'f (peace to you!). They are VERY similar to the trade conventions I attend from time to time; only difference is the "product" being "sold.
The product is non existent Everlasting Life in a non Existant paradise..
The cost is every minute of your life and every penny you have..

For awhile after coming out I did miss the feel of "anticipation" that I used to get in the days leading up to the "excursion" and attending the "event" (ooh! DRESS UP time!).
LOL!!..The JW Fashion Show!..I remember it very well..
Quote:
As major events in the JW life, the assemblies/conventions are treated like "vacation/holidays" and so the lead up and preparation to "go" was always "exciting" - as well as stressful (which accounted for MOST of the "excitement", 'cause I had to figure out HOW to go, including where to come up with the money to do so from, hope for approval of request for time off from work; hope the car would make it, etc. - LOL!
That was the only Vacation some JWs had..
It must be very hard on familys with not much cash..

I have long since learned to control my need for such adrenaline-inducing, endorphine-stimulating feelings, at least, when they're associated with the WTBTS (I STILL love a good excursion, including all the prep! LOLOL!). I no longer value the RESULTS of that particular "high" (further enslavement ... and denial of JAH and Christ). So, I KICKED that habit! And pretty much cold turkey, too! LOLOLOL!
Me too..
When you see the WBT$ for what it is..
It`s no longer appealing..
