These were my suggestions on another thread:
Okay, common sense folks. Regardless of what the OKM says, you wouldn't wear
a badge if you changed into jeans, shorts, or t-shirts. I know some weird j-dubs who would
but the common sense folks would not.If you have kids, have them change. It's just common sense. Window washers don't make enough
money for the kids to ruin suits everyday.If you go to the hotel first, then want to go to fast food, change. Who cares what they say, it's just
common sense. Why would you stay in your sunday best for a whopper?If you go to the pool, you aren't going to wear a badge.
The badge makes the group as a whole look like drones of a collective, even the j-dubs know that.
Go anywhere you like for lunch during the session. I doubt they have created a judicial reason for this.
If someone is sick, and needs to spend alot of time in the washroom, either ignore it, or tell them to stay
at the hotel that day. If they are a kid, let one parent skip the convention day. (Don't knock each other
down fighting to be that parent.)Take as many cars as you need to take, save seats for those that absolutely arranged to sit together,
don't worry about the "best" seats. Who needs to see the speaker's face for his talks?Decide what you will contribute before you go to the convention. If you are going to wait until sunday to
see how much you can afford, you are giving too much. You already gave up college and weekends and
part of your vacation.
And if your t-shirt that you changed into before going to Burger King happens to
say NIKE or UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA, just wear it. I suggest you wear these
on cleaning days, too. If they send you home, you know you gave them a chance
to use you.If you have to watch more than one kid, and they ask you to volunteer, feel free to
decline.Let the upwardly mobile brothers that want to become elders do the congregation
cleaning assignment during the sessions. That gives you more time to socialize
or leave for the pool.If you are a bookstudy overseer, and Sister Mooch says she doesn't have enough
money to go, tell her that she could just stay home, somebody will probably tape the
sessions, or she can read your notes. Tell her you will be glad to sit down with her
after the convention to set up her budget for next year.
And many of you brothers should wear those slogan t-shirts at the pool. It's a rough site without
them, and the plain white t-shirts don't hide it when they are wet. SISTERS, TOO.
Just use your own common sense. If you are reading this, it's not like you are desirous
of advancing in the WTS. It could be just what you need to help you look spiritually weak
without really doing anything wrong.
