Welcome, The_Borg......this is exactly why my husband quit going to meetings, only 2 years after he was baptized.
He first saw this lack of love, the day he was baptized, when the elder who studied with him, would not make it to his baptism, as he had to keep his business open ....my parents weren't there either, and they wanted us to wait to be married until he was baptized!!
It is truly a love-bombing for the newly interested ones, to get them hooked, then once they get dunked in the ceremonial baptismal pool, they are left on their own. The invitations cease....they become just another "number".
