  I visited the convention at the coliseum two years ago wearing a denim skirt and went around outside during lunch. I spoke to a few people.
  
  Well, I became aware of an attendant following me! He didn't say anything but I knew he was suspicious.
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if they were instructed to follow anybody who isn't dressed "theocratically" i.e, no denim, etc.
  
  I guess they were afraid I might be an apostate!!!

  When I was assigned security detail several years ago, that is what we had to do. If someone appeared to be worldly by their dress, we had to 'tail' them to make sure they wouldn't cause a scene. We were also told that if someone started shouting or doing something "apostate" in nature, that we were to escort them outside - but we could not grab them or force them out. We had to lead with one outstretched arm and just touch them on their back. But we always had to stay right behind them so they wouldn't duck away!

  Secuity was fun. No special "Attendant" tag sticking out behind our lapel badge. Instead we got these little stickers placed on the backside so when you were to flip up your badge it would show. Those little stickers got you into any room, hallway, or elevator on-site. We actually felt like we were part of the WTS CIA branch.

  Men: Speedos or anything else that draws attention to your blue-veined hooligan. No shirt, but running shoes necessary to save you from any former bethelites accustomed to such sights.
  
  Women: Thong bikinis please.

  lawrence suggests,

  a "Bite Me!" white t-shirt.

  ...with Buddy Christ on it. You'd probably have to have it custom-made.

  Must be an early convention this year Sass?...

  Wow catchthis, I suppose it might not have surprised me that, that was the custom when I was in, but now that I'm out it just makes me laugh! it always p*ssed me off that you guys got all the cool jobs, while we just had to sit back and take in all that lucious 'spiritual food', or steal somebodies baby so that you had a legit excuse for milling in the foyer;)...what a power trip some of those attendents were on lol! frog

  :D yep Frog by 'soon' I meant 'in a couple of months'. I'm going purely out of duty, and my man might go for a day, so he can meet my brother. I suppose I'm psyching up for it well in advance this time!

  I am boring - in fact very boring -- I will wear a shirt and tie (not too loud) and a suit- oh and black shoes - all very modest

  If what you wear is not made of polyester, it's demonic.
