We used to go to convention in madison back in the 90's.
Look at me momma I baptized....I baptized (McGrovern Park congregation pool party at my hotel).

I'm more disgusted with the entitlement attitude displayed by the JW's than by a child parroting what she's learned. It was THEIR party, yet your mom had to foot the bill for their food? WTF??? And you're good enough to get them in to the pool on your own dime, but not good enough to be cordial to...because you're an "evil apostate". Stupid.
By the way, I remember that years ago, having a party for those who get baptized became a no-no... It stopped being okay because it made it seem like that was the only reason they did it and that baptism is a serious occasion and should not be celebrated with a huge shin-dig. Don't know if it was actually printed, but I know that's how it's been in every congregation I've been in since the late 80's/early 90's.

"One of the little 2 year old (She was sooooo cute ) in the kiddie pool kept saying:Look at me momma I baptized ....I baptized..."

Dammmmit...
If I'd been there, the FIRST thing outta my mouth woulda been, "Jesus didn't get baptised until he was 30 years old. Don't you think that you should follow behind Jesus, instead of running ahead of him?"

Freeloaders is what I remember most of them to be. If they could get by on someone's nickel then it was ok as long as it was free for them
And then they acted like animals.

I think different KH's and areas have a slightly different culture/custom on such things. In my area most quite good about pitching in with labor and money.
