Well, I really do not know what kind of person would make up , or obtain a badge for a convention that they will sit and watch in bits at home.
Do you wear the badge in your best meeting clothes, and with all the family so adorned, ? Do you prepare a packed lunch and drinks , open the windows to get that outdoor feel while gathering round the laptop .....so as to pretend you are at stadium?
I guess you would have to wait for a song break to dash to the loo?
Nothing like a lapel badge to show what a total retard you are and with what group. I always lost mine and finally , lost the group. No longer looking like a retard.
Old habits die hard. People do indeed dress up for meeting and wear lapel cards for the convention, complete with family photos. There is a tendency to make a convention sandwich too; thick white hoagy, slim meat, wilted lettuce. Take copious notes and stand for songs, wait for a break to pee. I am sure some pretend to stand in line.
Saddest part is everything noteworthy will be summarized here in a 5 minute read. Not counting the videos which MAY be entertaining.
" Be$t Convention Ever!" But ask anything about it they don't recall. I never understood why the same shit from last years convention is repackaged and cooked up and served. Boring and Bullshit.

Yes, and not only that but get in the car several hours early, drive several blocks from home, park the car in direct sunlight so it gets good and hot during the day, then trudge back home dragging the over-sized cooler of food, all the books and notepads one can lug, then stand at the front door until 8:00 A.M. and run to the most uncomfortable chairs one could find to put in front of the computer, make sure the chairs are as close as possible to each other, make sure you have zero leg room to stretch out, then sit there until the whole snooze fest starts.
I can recap the convention in a couple of minutes.
1) Do more!
2) we are in the final part of the final part of the final part of the last days, so DO MORE!
3) DONATE DONATE DONATE
4) Now stand for the final song and prayer. Wasn’t this a fine, up building assembly?
Every convention is the best convention ever. It's so creepy and Orwellian.
@Biahi- I wish I could have been at your conventions.
The ones where I went were more like:
1) DONATE DONATE DONATE
2) Do more!
3) DONATE DONATE DONATE
4) We are in the final part of the final part of the final part of the last days, so DO MORE!
5) DONATE DONATE DONATE
5) Now stand for the final song and prayer. Wasn’t this a fine, up building assembly?
6) Show your appreciation and DONATE DONATE DONATE
Sorry, I just couldn't resit.

"Look dad! Idiots as far as the eye can see!"
Or.
"hey dad! Isn't that where the kingdom hall used to be?"
