I don`t miss the Huge WBT$/JW Sales Meetings..
JW.ORG is becoming a Huge Idol at WBT$ Events..

JW`s are now encouraged to wear Traditional Clothing if they`re from Another Country..
I`d finally be able to wear Jeans/Cowboy Hat/Cowboy Boots maybe even bring a Horse..LOL!!..

Theres still a Siege like Mentality at WBT$ Events..
Untrained Egomaniac JW Security Guards are everywhere..

They still encourage Baptizing Children..
Who will be Treated as Adults in a WBT$/JW Judicial Committee Kangaroo Court..

They still only pick Important Looking people to hold up Quiet Please Signs..
They all have a Homer Simpson like quality about them..LOL!!..

When I look at those pics it only makes me More Grateful to be Out..

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." 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!). 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!

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!

Peace to you!

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..

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..

LOL!!..The JW Fashion Show!..I remember it very well..

That was the only Vacation some JWs had..
It must be very hard on familys with not much cash..

Me too..
When you see the WBT$ for what it is..
It`s no longer appealing..

And adults who think like children (peace to you, dear Sher'f!), yes!



Yes! That's the BAIT product, yes! The REAL product is (1) lifelong enslavement to a golden calf organization for the sake of your money, (2) on behalf of YOUR "soul", your CHILDREN'S "soul", your OTHER LOVED ONES' "souls"... and anyone else you can convince to join, too.

The classic bait and switch. Only rather than actually BUYING something, HERE you're actually SELLING that everlasting life...to the Devil!



Yes, as to both!

Peace to you!

YSFS of Christ,

WTF? The journalist's pen is spitting bullshit. That's what I distinctly smell!

Peanut butter?
Egg salad?
Raw Hot dog?

I 've been in so many conventions and never seen anyone eating such stuff. Or are people there so nuts?

Theres nothing unusual about that food in North America..
What is unusual..
Is shutting down Concession/Food Booths in a Building so people can Buy Food..

I've seen... and smelled... both peanut butter AND egg salad (both brought in AND issued at the JW concession), dear ANOMOS (peace to you!). When I joined back in the early 80's, they served hot food but by the late 80's were transitioning from that to sandwiches/cold food, including PBJ and ES... and other containered foods (i.e., yogurt, cold pasta salad... ya'll remember the pasta salad... with the green beans, corn, and carrots... tossed with vegetable oil and parmesan?? That was my "go to" lunch! LOLOL!).

As for the raw hotdog, I can see where someone HERE might actually bring one. I mean, sure, one can cook (boil/grill) a hotdog before brown-bagging it to a convention... or anywhere... just as easily as one can bring a "raw" hotdog. But HERE, hotdogs are usually PRE-cooked, so they're not REALLY raw, to begin with. So eating a "raw" one just might be preference.

Indeed, many people here eat "raw" hotdogs; many feed them to their children (some actually consider them a really good "pacifiers" for toddlers but they can also be deadly (a child can choke on a piece), so one must take care and watch the child. Personally, I wouldn't recommend them for that purpose unless I was literally holding the thing myself. Even then...).

Anyway, nothing unusual HERE. Now, in GREECE, where perhaps YA'LL'S concessions include things like dolmas, baklava, and other traditional Greek cuisine... I can see where a "raw" sausage might be hard to believe - LOLOL! Over here, though, we "do" a LOT of "fast" kinds of food! Fortunately... and unfortunately. LOLOLOL!

Peace!

Shellamar, on her own...

nice find outlaw; I think the newspaper guy gave a fair review of the jw convention. for an outsider. he did call them nuts. and said he was bird food at the big A. I think it's enough to keep any of the regulars readers of his paper to think twice about going to a jw conv.

The main floor of the convention was like the front yard of a funeral home, complete with an enormous display of houseplants shaped to look like the continents of Earth. Plus, their floral-printed dresses and charcoal suits made most guests look like they were dressed for a wake. this point CAUGHT my eye, yes they are all celebrating their death following the wts. that's why I've been calling jw's WT ZOMBIES FOR YEARS. they are the walking dead...

Oh you Americans and your food... Weird!
-
BTW: The idiots repeatedly remind from the platform not to bring food to the convention but something simple like a sandwich and nobody gives a damn s**t. Maybe next time I will take patsa to eat. Where is my camping gas? LOL!

Hey Judge..

With information so readily available..
I doubt the WBT$ is going to attract many normal people in the coming future..

ANOMOS..

That's regular food for both USA and Canada..
I understand how it might be unusual for some one outside of North America..

..........................Mutleys not here today..LOL!!...OUTLAW

Do they warn here NOT to bring in food (peace to you, all!). My recollection is that you could bring food and that they gauged how much to provide by the tickets (I think we used to have to get tickets BEFORE the conventions?). I could be wrong. So long ago, and have tried SO hard to shake ALL of their stuff, not sure I'm remembering accurately. Or maybe it wasn't everywhere...

Peace!

The idiots repeat it all the time: Light food (like sandwiches), no alcohol!
