Remember those bags of fruit at lunch time. My cousin and I would sit in the highest seats and throw the grapes down to the lower level. It was funny to see women hit their husband or seating attendants looking around to see who just hit them. And it was hard trying to keep a serious face when they were looking our way.
I was a paper tearer too.
Don't stand up when they tell you.
Better still, stand up when everyone sits back down again. Remain standing as long as your nerve or your legs allow you to.
Read the newspaper while the session is on.
A broadsheet, preferably. Or failing that, The Socialist Worker.
Well I would not disruptr meetings - it gives JWs a persecution complex and in their eyes proves the yare right
Attend the convention wearing a trench coat. Upon sitting down, remove the trench coat to reveal(gasp) "all your glory"
Question, what would the bouncers(elders) do about a naked convention attendee? With all the 'hang-ups' about sex, I just can't see them trying to remove this person for
fear of touching this person in 'all his glory'
that infuriated me.. i asked my then husband if the mirrors in the mens room were covered..he said no .. next time i went to the bathroom, i ripped the paper off one of the mirrors to check my appearance before i went back out..several women gasped..couple of them applauded lol
I just cant believe this!!! Who makes that kind of decision need I ask?? The old elders who think us women have nothing better to do than stand around putting make up on!!
I thought we were bad, our recently refurbished assembly hall had individual cubicles, none with mirrors and they place a large mirror right out in the foyer so if we HAD To check our appearance it was in front of the whole assembly!!
So i used to make a point of straightening the seam on my stockings, only ONCE a brother came and told me it wasn't appropriate, so I asked him if there was a private mirror and he had to say no! So I asked him what I should do? He said maybe wear more 'appropriate attire'.. lmao.
Makes my blood boil!!

Perhaps the attendant would have preferred you following Highlander's "in all your glory" suggestion.
Bloody cheek! Where does he get off, telling you how to dress in the morning??
I still cannot get over the mirrors being covered by paper - thats just unbelievable! That never happened in the UK, but then as most of the conventions are held at football stadiums we woman would be allocated mens toilets and they don't have proper mirrors anyway lest a hooligan wish to attack supporter of the opposite team with the glass!
I almost feel like goign to a convention now!
Wear street clothes to the assembly.Say amen periodically through the talks.
I've seen both of these. Security wasn't too far away.
I remember the paper on the mirror thing too. The first time I was young. Before the age of 8. I asked why the paper. I was told that some women would just hang out there all day fixing there hair and makeup. I don't remember the paper on the mirrors when we moved to KY though after the age of 8.
Ok, here's one. ...Since the mirrors are covered, break out your caboodle/cosmetic case full of makeup at your seat. Fix yourself up before lunch break. Battery operated curling iron, hairspray...make yourself pretty.

Draw a woman's made-up face on the paper over the mirror.
