Hey guys! The part went great today and I appreciate the applause. Was it you guys? Snuck out a bit early and am typing by the pool downing a few very cold brews, It's HOT out here today!
So here's the news..There were NO people between the ages of say 18-35 at the convention. Everyone was either in diapers or using the other diapers, the ones for oldsters. It's strange because it's like a sandwich, you have the bread on the outside, but nothing of substance in-between.
4,000 attendees with 20 baptisms; that's not enough to match the 1% death rate.
Anyway for the good story. First, I wandered the halls a bit, and noticed that the Lady's bathroom doors were all propped open. (An arena employee later explained to me that it's an older building and not designed for all day use; the smell builds up from all the #2 and it has no place to go so they leave the doors open when it's an all day affair. People can generally "hold" the #2 when they go to a sports event, and there is not such a big smell problem.) I naturally looked and got a free show of all the Sister'
s underwear around their ankles and their legs up to their knees while they attended to business. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just walked down the main concourse that leads around the arena and turned my head! It's not like I whipped out my -camera- to take pics to post here or anything! While I really dislike Witnesses, I hate hypocrisy and vulgarity more.
So it's off to the Chairman's office. I ripped his Attendantary a new one about the shame of the Sisters having to put their underwear on display to all just to have a pee and then did the same to the Chairman in front of all the POs. I then questioned the judgement of individuals who are so conditioned to obey that they don't feel comfortable closing a bathroom door even though they are on display otherwise. (Yes I still gave the part)
Aftermath is that after a 20 minute discussion (I timed it) a male Attendant walks down the hall and closes the doors. Later that day, after lunch, they were open again with two brothers with the "Keep Moving" signs standing in front.
Later I'll tell about the lady who kept giving my toddler daughter nasty looks because she had the gall to breathe or something, AND THEN THE WOMAN'S CELL PHONE RANG in the middle of "Oppose da Debbil"! My prayer was answered and vengence was mine!
Mobile, AL DC Chairman LIVID WITH ANGER at Amos!

I've been assigned to the Mobile, AL site before and its a really nice place -- I wonder if they've changed to a different location. I remember going to one place for a circuit assembly in Mobile but it was at a college campus and really not suitable for a convention. Just uncomfortable and hard to move around. I wonder if they are using it for district ones now.

No, they're not. You are thinking of the Mitchell Center at the University of South Alabama campus. The seats are very uncomfortable there.

Yes, that is what I was thinking about. That place was terrible -- clean but I couldn't see the stage, was uncomfortable, and had the hardest time moving around during breaks. I think I skipped my first assembly when I heard it was going to be there the next time.

Come on down Bro!
I'm trying to fix my pool pump right now, and if I get it done tonight I'm bringing the 32 foot RV to the show tomorrow.
Have lunch with us!
And yes, it's at the OLD Civic Center Arena not at the really beautiful, new shiny one next to the cruise ships. -

And yes, it's at the OLD Civic Center Arena
OH, I remember that place so well, went there for years until they started having them at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center in Biloxi.
