I`ve just read a post on H20 by "dmouse" re the circuit assembly at Dudley, England. Apparently there were only 3 baptised there this weekend, but that is not what intrigues me; my devious apostate mind (hee hee) sees another way of making some luvverly lolly!
It`s all to do with the feeding arrangements. Many of these assembly halls are used every weekend, and I understand that the centre of Dudley is over-run by JW`s looking for somewhere to eat. So, why not set up a cafe close by that guarantees to serve acceptable witnessified food? A sort of "Bring me your hungry masses" approach.
You could pack `em in if, say, you had a board outside advertising "Blood free black pudding" (and chips) or "Un-devilled kidneys (and chips) or "Egyptian plague" (Toad in the hole)(and chips), the possibilities are endless. Of course "Angels on horseback" would only be served to FDS members.
What about a witness pub? It wouldn`t be too difficult to come up with a suitable name. The "Pub around the corner" could become the "Armageddons just around the corner". "The Slaughtered Apostate" has a nice ring to it, especially if it was able to get hold of some blood free red wine, though I doubt if the Bishops Tipple beer would sell too well.
How about a mobile burger bar? Only veggie burgers, of course, gotta be on the safe side, no, all the profit would come from sales of tea & coffee. The tea would of course, have to be like the old assembly stuff, 1 tea leaf tied to a length of cotton, you could ask extra for 2 dips. I believe that you can still buy ground up acorns to make genuine dub coffee + 4 spoonfuls of sugar for flavour.
Yup, I think I might be on to a winner here, does anyone want to throw in some more money spinning ideas?
