Does anyone remember attending those horrid DC's in Philadephia, PA at the old Vet? I remember the awful dread as the elders would so excitedly announce the upcoming dates. Does anyone remember how they urged us to "calmly line up to view the hotel list" because there were plenty of hotels (roachholes) and if this one sold out, that a new list would be put together? What struck me as asanine was that I attended a friend's congregation during a service meeting and they announced this two weeks prior to the date the WTS directed the talk be given. No wonder all the hotels were sold out before we got our list!
Along with the Vet, how many lives were lost due to the extremes in temperature and humidity? I worked as a Paramedic back in the health center on level 200. Remember that gator "wannabe ambulance?" I know personally of 4 elderly persons going into cardiac arrest as a direct result of hypertension and the temperatures reaching 101 degrees in the stands. How could these assholes in NY allow this? After viewing the absolute clusterf*ck in the health center (improper supplies, unqualified persons working), I had to get out for fear of some liability. The real kicker was an elder who had no medical training directing the whole operation and giving orders to what needed to be done!
I hope all these people rot in hell for the suffering and fatalities as a result of the poor decision making in choosing the site.
