    Remember the annual KM about the summer convention, and the experiences listed therein about how the brothers were so well behaved some convention manager would say something like, "We'd have them back next year." And remember how this was used a one more proof that JWs had the right religion? Well check this out from the AP newswire:

    RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Every year they come from across the country to play on the northern Nevada desert. Thousands of techies, trippers and artists transform the ancient lake bed into Black Rock City, a 5-square-mile encampment equipped with everything from medical services to an airstrip.

    And then they leave.

    What's left behind at the site of the counterculture Burning Man festival are countless wood chips, cigarette butts, pistachio shells, orange peels, nails and other debris.

    But this year, more than 25,000 participants from at least 40 states and 20 countries cleaned up their act on the Black Rock Desert 120 miles north of Reno near Gerlach.

    Bureau of Land Management officials said a sharp reduction in trash helped organizers easily pass a cleanup inspection earlier this month.

    ``They've done a commendable job of cleaning up after themselves. It's likely they'll be allowed to return to the same site next year (for the 17th annual gathering),'' said Les Boni, an assistant field manager in the BLM's Winnemucca office.

    There you have it. The Burning Man festival -- showing who true Christians are by their conduct...

    What they don't mention is how much money they saved by agreeing to leave the auditoriums the way they found it.

    Thats the real incentive.

    There's at least one XJW on that cleanup crew: my son has been a Burning Man groupie for the past six years, and has been on the cleanup crew at least twice.
