  This year, about 32,000 JW Watchtower slaves went to the convention in Kamloops. The center holds 6400 and there were five ASSamblies so that is how I arrived at the 32,000 figure. The dubs spent an average of 500 per head on motels gas and food . The lost income from the day off would amount to about another $100,000 in lost wages. The JWs spent about 17 million dollars just to go to the slobberfest. On top of that is their regular donations to the cult. Imagine 17 million dollars just for one droolfest!.

  The world wide donations to the Watchtower cult is about 100 million a year. How can just 32,000 JWs spend 17 million when the entire 7 million JWs spent only 100 million. The numbers prove that the Vancouver dubbies are gettin a real shit kickin from the slobbering body.

  The WTS really should have more of these conventions.

  At the figures you have stated, the JWs help the local economies (hotels, gas, restaurants) even more than the government's incentives.

  1914BS,

  :Imagine 17 million dollars just for one droolfest!.

  Isn't it a big startling to realize that people will spend 17 million dollars of their own money and a week of their own time to go to an event whose main purpose is to make them buy more new books from the very Corporation who profits from these books and who made them spend the money and time to get there in the first place?

  When will little dubbies realize that District Assemblies are nothing more than worldwide book-promotion tours?

  About the same time they discover that the Service Meeting and Theocratic School are little more than sales meetings, designed to get them pumped up and excited about their next sales opportunity otherwise known as field service.

  Sort of William Miller meets tent revival meets Amway on steroids.

  Exactly!! What really drove that home for me was when I went to a Melaluca sales presentation/awards ceremony with my sister in law who was involved in it at the time. It was creepy to say the least, and I had to get out of there before I had a panic attack!
