New Stupid Assembly Rules (page 4)

managing 6.5 million individuals is a headache.

managing 6.5 million clones is much easier.

Why in HELL would you put UP with such controlling nonsense??? Holy crap and pass the zombie juice.

This isn't necessarily a rule but I really hate all the signs they have attendants carrying around. Sit Down, Keep Moving, Be Quiet.

One of the last DC I went to a few years ago, they had a sister sitting in the mothers nursing room. She was holding a sign that said "Be Quiet". After a few minutes she got up, left the room and later returned with a new handwritten sign that said "Mothers, Be Quiet". I was furious, from that point on I breast fed my son at the seat. I wasn't going to have some pithy, high minded pioneer telling me to be quiet in a room full of breast feeding, diaper changing and crying babies.

This org loves producing rules they run their members almost like the military. The one tissue rule is so ridiculous coming from a multi billion dollar corporation. One might as well shake the water off the hands and let them dry naturally.

Let's truly conserve at the assemblies:

* piss outside - save flush water

* shit outside - save water and t.p.

* don't wash hands - save paper

* bring gin and vodka - save on water coolers

* bring an attitude and disrupt the convention - save on electricity

* stay home - save on gas and lodging

* send the WTS DA notices - save years of life and reduce stress

I remember as a young mother I would get up early to make breakfast and lunch to carry along. I reall really thought I was doing the good wife thing, but a MS told me I shoulnd't be bringing lunch along, I should be buying it there. I complied even though we couldn't really afford it.

We bought lunch for ourselves and the kids at the assembly and after waiting in a long line, and paying way too much for the "chicken sandwich" we sat down to eat. As I opened the sandwich, I saw it was indeed chicken, a fried chicken thigh with bone in, on ONE piece of bread. That is what I had to pick apart and feed my small children. We couldn't afford drinks, so we had water, and nothing else came with the sandwich. I was stunned and couldn't believe they did that. I never did buy lunch there again.

There was no love for the R&F.

If this were permitted, many worldly people would be mixing in company with us during the day.

They make it sound like this would be something undesirable.

If it's so bad, why spend the effort to distribute 50 million (!) tracts in the US alone inviting, er, "many worldly people" to the conventions?

Idiots.

I mean really, how many people 'stop by' a convention center just to visit a concession stand for lunch?

What excellent suggestions! LMAO

These rules don't sound any different from what they've always been in years past - I'm talking back into the ' 70s. Just updated w/the iPods.

I do remember them banning baby strollers. Is that one still a no - no??

I agree too with those obnoxious signs; you felt like taking them and ripping them in half and stomping on them.....

disturbing the relaxed atmosphere of our conventions.

WTF are they talking about? I attended assemblies for over thirty years, there was never a relaxed atmosphere. Kids miserable and fidgeting, getting whipped for just being kids. Moms dressed in stockings and heels trying to keep all the kids quiet and still. Getting up early, packing food for the day, parking, sitting all day, not being allowed to leave, not being allowed to dress down and relax in the evening. having to use your vacation time to attend these ridiculous events.

They were all a lesson in indurance, even while I was still a believer.

I would love to see a couple of those old farts in NY. put on some hose and heels and tend to a couple of toddlers all day at an assembly. Yup, I can close my eyes and almost see it.
