    Man, I remember when the convention sites had their own kitchens and we use to cook the food for the delegates. Pancakes, eggs, saugages, bacon, lunch was fried chicken, etc. <sigh>

    I'm glad I'm a Bible Student, we have our conventions catered .. hmmm hmmm hmmm

    they will officially name the only "theocratically approved(tm)" toilet paper dubbies can use.

    I can remember when they rationed toilet paper by having a sister hand you 3 sheets as you went to the stall.

    Here's a fun suggestion for any apostate group that would like to infiltrate the assembly:

    Make sure all the toilet cubicles have the following graffiti written on the walls, next to the toilet paper dispenser:

    For a Photograph of Your Favourite Governing Body Member: Take one (1) sheet, and wipe to develop.

    Stephenas, That is so cool.

    And P, yes that society loves the fact that they can control people. I know when I use to see the newpaper on the mirrors I wanted to rip it off, but there were bathroom attendants, Drats.

    Thats not the worse, though, it was too that the sister's washrooms were always the longest. And I know of washrooms that were completely empty, but because members of the Bethel and GB were in those areas of the stadium they would'nt allow pub. to use them. One day I followed brother Barr of GB to his special room with his enterage and just around the back of that special designated area are rest rooms that are completely empty. So what I did I just went into the washroom and I would inform others that there was a couple of washrooms that were in the halls ways where the Speakers from Bethel hung out.

    I mean it is totally wrong that they should have preferrential treatment over others. That made me angry.

    Seems things are easier in the UK.Here they have an FM broadcast of the program for eldarly and infirm, but it also means we could go and sit down by the river. Suprising how difficult it was to find the program though ;)

    Also they have never tried to tell us what hotel to use, true they have a list, but no one really uses it.

    We always had a burger van and ice cream ven on site too. Guess these had a licence and there was no way they could be removed.

    And finally you should see the amount of people that head to the nearby super market to buy food at lunch times. I'd guess 90% of the audience go some time over the weekend.

    Rick,

    We went to UK conventions too and everyone ran to the local supermarket but they then told everyone not to go during lunch time as it would cause disruption at the supermarket and "those" Apostates are always outside but apart from that the US seem to have it a lot tougher.............no paper on the mirror's in the loo's either ?

    Mind you if I looked like the CO's wife, I wouldn't want to see myself either !

    I'm glad I'm NEITHER, I don't have to use my weekends for some lame @$$ 'convention.' Come to think of it, 80's rock group Heart is having a 'convention of sorts' next weekend. I think I may attend.

    What a joke. People dying all over the world and they want to control how and when you eat.
