......and brothers and sisters , we've noticed that your using more than one sheet of toilet paper in the public washrooms at Assemblies.
.
Toilet paper is costly for the organization, so lets remember to use one sheet per visit and you'll have noticed that we've left some of
the old tracts on the counters for your personal use.
.
We AALL use too much toilet paper at the kingdumb hell and A$$emblies.
TAKE IMMODIUM, diocalm, or morphine to stop the action until you get home... or dont eat five hours before a meeting.
First of all, My lunch bag is too stuffed from bringing extra hand towells. My hands are bigger than most, so I need to have two slices. I can share my sardine sandwich, but not my pudding.
I find the meals to be odd, sterile affairs. Everyone brings their own little lunch-bucket and eats from their little lunch-bucket. Be cautious to have the regulation-size lunch-bucket that will fit under the seats. Otherwise the fire-marshall will pitch fits.
Very little communal sharing goes on. Compare this with the accounts of the first-century Christians in Acts who were in each other's homes, breaking bread, and sharing.
Heck, compare this with a typical church pot-luck, or even a soup-kitchen. At least at our affairs, everyone shares and shares alike.
The open cafeterias at Assemblies weren't a picnic either, you had to wait in lines that went on for ages and
most of time you had to stand while eating.
Even then they would hurry you along so that others could take your place.
The meals were cheap though.
The best part for myself was working in the kitchen during the boring receptive talks.

Poor JWers, they have to sit where they are seated and gaze at everyone woofing down their sandwiches.
How much fun and enjoyable.
Only a truly brainwashed person would think how enjoyable it is.
Kind of riding the local bus, eh, Finkle?
Expect these responses:
"Oh no, I can't accept that sandwich...I'm allergic to Gluton".
" Do you also have a place for me to spend the night?"
" You use too much butter on your sandwich, are you trying to kill me?"
"I'm a vegetarian, how bout I take that salad in exchange for that meat sandwich that you offered me?"
" Where will you be sitting tomorrow?"
" Mind if I sip out of your pepsi can? Don't mind my cold sore, it's not contageous, honestly."
" Could you ask that brother next to you if he can spare his bag of chips?"
It is fine to choose to bring extra food for others of YOUR choosing, but when the religion directs people to do it for others of THEIR choosing, that reminds me of communism. Whatever one person has belongs to the whole community. And this is not limited just to food--it is everything. You are supposed to share your wealth, even wealth in your bank account. Instead of buying silver now while you still can, you are to donate it "to help the needy". You have a flashlight, you give it to the hounders in charge so they decide how they see fit to use it (even if you bring it in for your personal safety in the event of emergency or because you might need it to hunt for lost articles under the seats).
And I will note that Christi-SCAM-ity in general created the whole damn poverty problem in the first place. Without Christi-SCAM-ity, we would have had the knowledge to do workings (spiritual workings, at that) that would make each and every one of us quite rich. We would have had science solving these problems, and the government would make sure this knowledge is not being used to suppress others or enslave populations. Christi-SCAM-ity has infested these governments so they do the exact opposite, serving Christi-SCAM-ity to create the problem and use communism to "solve" it.
Well, that the last time I share my lunch with a Communist. They can just go beg for their Vodka drinks someplace else.
Quarterback and Wizard:
It isn't that sharing your lunch with somebody is such a bad thing, and I am sure we have all given half a sandwich to somebody at some time in our lives, it is where this is all leading. I think they are hoping to get closer to everybody's bank account.
People there are going to be expected to give, give, give to all the categories of needy people in the JW religion. A person will be walking a gauntlet of people with their hands out left and right (deadbeats, con-artists, crazies and everybody and their brother who lost their job). This is only going to get worse. I feel sorry for any responsible people left in this religion.
I foresee major pressure being put on responsible working people (who were criticized for working) and anybody else who looks halfway decent.
