i just remembered when i was a kid and we would go to the assembly, it was fun because we got to buy new clothes and put extra effort into looking good.

when we would get there you could save your seats and even save some for your friends, then go off looking for them.. i used to love our circuit assembly because of the food.

it was at the assembly hall and there was a big kitchen, some of my favourite brothers worked in that kitchen, sometimes i was allowed to go in and help.

in the circuit assemblies sisters and brothers would bring cakes and pies and sell them for donation money. i didn't have my own money back then, but that was the only way to have me donate. there was also that young pioneer sister who didn't wear a bra and you could see it. man did i love cakes... district assemblies had hot dogs, sandwiches or wiener schnitzel along with coke/fanta/sprite (we never got this at home) and ice pops. you had to buy vouchers for the food, because that way they got around the VAT. later the laws where changed and they would have had to pay taxes, that's why they stopped serving food. and yes, that was when they took out the fun.

since 1987, i must have went to about 16 memorials and missed about 5.

Superfine Apostate

havent missed one. this year might be the first time, depening on my wife. she does not want to go to meetings anymore, but missing a memorial is something bigger... if we go, we'll be sitting in the second room and leave before anyone could talk to us.

may make the dreaded announcement to my super righteous, super loyal parents next week that i'm not going anymore.. problem is, as you all know, they "really" believe that it's tantamount to my killing their grandchildren.

.

pretty tough decision because i think they kind of get the vibe already!
