I have the best seat of them all--right in front of my computer. I am getting the program details about 6-8 weeks before I would have had I had to actually go. And no one is going to put my stuff in lost and found, or push me out of my seat.

I am not a small guy, but (years ago when I used to actually get there early) I have been pushed and shoved, glared at, cut off, and nearly knocked down while trying to get into the DC doors when they open up.
Can you feel the Christian love?

I have to admit that they WTS did officially address this problem; because I saw an older woman knocked down and her arm broken...you can imagine the legal problems with that. Legal and money is what gets the WTS attention. It also shows how "disobedient" the rank and file can be.
*** km 4/04 p. 3 par. 3 "Let Us Exalt His Name Together" ***When the doors open at 8:00 a.m., consideration for others will restrain us from running, rushing, pushing, or shoving in an effort to get to the seats we prefer before others do
*** km 5/01 p. 6 par. 7 Do Good and Be Praised!
***When the convention doors open at 8:00 a.m., some brothers and sisters can be seen running, pushing, and shoving to obtain the "best" seats. Injuries have resulted because of this type of behavior.
*** km 5/96 p. 3 par. 4 1996 "Messengers of Godly Peace" District Convention***The program will begin all three days at 9:30 a.m. and conclude on Sunday at approximately 4:00 p.m. Doors will open at 8:00 a.m. The only ones permitted to enter before then are those with work assignments, and these will not be allowed to save seats until the building opens for everyone. Will we demonstrate kindness to our older and infirm brothers by leaving the seats vacant in areas that are more convenient and comfortable? Remember that "love . . . does not look for its own interests."

Hmmm...didn't the Pharisees like the prominent seats too??
Love in action, most definitely...

That says a lot about you. gag. The fact that you say it like you're proud of it says even more about you. -

Or watched the food storage refrigerator go off for a few hours and all the persishables start to sag... only to be told to "haul em out.. we will use them anyway"
Or pulled the milk out to either thaw it out... or cool it down and make it "drinkable"
Or hauled and stored hoagies and god knows what else on little or no ice...
Well washing hands at an assembly kitchen would be the least of your worries.
I dont know how they ever held a session without killing everyone there.

The last shall be first, and the first shall be last. Judge a neighbor, df a brother, run over a sister for a seat, mow down a family in the parking lot - all in a day's preaching and teaching.

When I was a kid me and a few other kids in my family had to to run right when the gates opened at Dodger Stadium and place some old watchterror and awacks for our entire family to sit together, I remember this black lady came and started throwing off our magazines and putting jackets and blankets down, I told her they were our seats and she ignored me. I didn't care for the Jehoagies, but I did like the Muffin Eggs, Cheese danish and the burritos. Yumm Shasta Cola

The last assembly I went to at home was in Rochester NY some friends of mine got our own hotel room within walking distance of the assembly and then we had a scheme! The hall was over crowded and so some people were in the secondary auditorium watching the speaker on a big screen tv. So in the AM we would go over and find out where my parents were sitting and then tell them "oh we're in the other area" as soon as the song was over we would high tail it back to the hotel and hang out at the pool with this hot little life guard... A few minutes before the lunch break we hauled a$$ back and ate then skipped out on the afternoon session. After the whole day was over we would then hang out at the pool with all the witness hotties!
BEST ASSEMBLY SEATING EVER!!!!!!

RR, I remember those miserable assemblies at Yankee Stadium. I am extremely fair-skinned, so to add to the already stifiling heat, I was always sunburned. Add heat exhaustion to burning pain, and you've got the makings of a very happy ex-JW.
