US Dubs Are "Ugly Americans"!

    As you are probably aware, the Dub International convention was in Sydney last week. I have a mate who works for an inner city hotel that was full of Japanese Dubs. He said they were just like any other Japanese who stay in the hotel: polite and quiet. His workmate, who also works for another hotel, which hosted a lot of US Dubs was not so fortunate, apparently. He had summed them up as big, having incredibly heavy luggage (), rude, arrogant, and very cheap when it came to tips!

    I asked my mate if this is common among people from the US who stay in hotels. He said "Not at all". US guests at the hotel are among his favourites because they are usually cheerful, grateful for any help given and tip handsomely without any qualms.

    Could it be that Dubs really aren't any better than the average population??

    Well, the R&F dubs in the US apparently had to be reminded to leave any tips at all, and not to hoard the buffet! At last, those are the "loving reminders" in the annual pre-convention review on the Serivce Meeting.

    You're joking! I sure do miss that "spiritual food" at the meetings!

    Yeah the usual reminds. Continental breakfasts are not for taking to the assembly as your lunch and coffee provided is not for filling up thermoses. And parents have to keep their children under control to present a good witness..

    About 4 years ago a bunch of dubs from my area went to check into a hotel that was supposed to be on the Watchtower convention list. For reasons that I'm not clear on, the hotel at first wasn't going to honor the agreed upon rate. After all was said and done, those employees at the hotel must have felt like they just crossed the mafia.

    And Kingdom Ministry articles with their "loving reminders" not to hoard items from the continental breakfast buffet - what an embarrasing reminder of dub life.

    I think this should be a sober warning to all the dubs lurking here and reading this. You need to be told not to snitch the food??????

    And all around the world families were struggling to get to the KH for the meeting to listen to that!!!!!

    How grand is freedom from all that!

    Cheers, Ozzie
