    A bump for those lucky enough to be attending the convention this weekend. A preview of what's in store. . .

    Great post BOC. I am attending next weekend. I will have your take on it in mind. When I first read the program I did have similar thoughts and I've "prepared" my daughter to have this in mind. She is slowly waking up and I think she will find it very hard to continue as before after this convention.

    Agree with everyone that this was a great analysis. It is interesting that my thinking used to be that I could never remember what the conventions were about. Turns out, they were always about the same thing and I just never noticed. They are serious about "inculcating," which is a word we used to use without necessarily looking up. Basically: pound the message in.

    CIRKELINE - good luck with helping your daughter wake up

    SULLA - yeah, there's the cliche "this convention was the BEST YET", but when you ask what was so much "better" about it, they are hard pressed for a reason. In reality, conventions are round-the-clock indoctrination sessions where by the end, the audience has been so completely physically exahusted, their ability to think is diminished, allowing the perfect opportunity to program minds with manipulative yet confirming 'evidence' of the organization's "love" for the individual - and in turn, the audience gets a little "high" off of it.

    WHAT NOW - thanks for reading

    Wow, so we mustn't doubt that Jesus is ruling over his Kingdom - then why is it we are not feeling the effects of his rule?

    TRUTHSEEKER - I think you have a valid question there!

    I am enjoying your post all over again, BOC. I'm writing up notes for hubby, and I was struck by the insigtfulness of your analysis. The speakers drone on so, I often have trouble breaking down what is WRONG with the pudding.
