What I love is when the WTS had to tell them not to load up with food to take to the convention for lunch.

Another embarrassing thing at hotels for the DC was when the WTS actually would get a great rate for a nice hotel (Hyatt, Renaissance, Hilton) and you'd have the mini-van full of JWs pull up and drag in their huge picnic coolers, so they could avoid dining out at local restaurants.
I'm sure the hotel staff seldom saw a trip. In fact, isn't that why they had to start putting specific instructions in the KM to tip waiters and hotel staff.
I think it was in 1958 a local media person (NY Times?) said that JWs came to NYC with the 10 Commandments and a $10 bill and left town without breaking either of them.

This is not a JW phenomena. I see it regularly at higher end hotels when they book rooms with weekend rates well below the standard business-day rates. The staff knows what's coming based on one thing: the going room rate. I use the occasion to enjoy watching families enjoy themselves on their own terms. They may not act like I would, but they're having a good time. -

Have you ever noticed some of the coolers some of these people bring to the assemblies? Looks like they packed a Thanksgiving dinner! Oh that's right we don't celebrate Thanksgiving with Turkey, etc. Yeah right! wink wink -

At some of these hotels/motels that I have stayed at, you wouldn't want to take their food to the assembly. Some food that was available was not even edible for breakfast. -

I find it amusing when people talk about this approved motels. In this country it's un-heard of. In fact it wasn't until I came on here that I heard of it. -

Sorry but I can't always agree with that idea.
I recall staying at a reasonably nice hotel -- indoor pool & hot tub. Business travel. NOT a JW event. And one young couple had their infant in the hot tub in a diaper. And the kid pooped in the hot tub.
1) They shouldn't have an infant (so young to still not be potty trained) in a hot tub.
2) They shouldn't have anyone at any age who requires a diaper (or Depends) in the hot tub.
3) It's at times like that, and in any rural setting where I hear banjo music that I run like hell.

PS Hotel management & maintenance thought it was a pretty shitty situation too.
