Here are my instructions:
First, during the noon intermission, while everyone is eating and distracted, sneak down to the stage area and
discreetly grab a microphone. Then, put it to your rear end and rip the biggest fart known to man. It will echo throughout the
colisuem, deafening everyone. Watch sandwiches drop to the floor and potato chips flying through the air.
Pretty demented huh??

About the time I exited in 1979, they had started assigned seating, with members of a particular congregation together, at assemblies. Does this still go on?
First time I've ever heard of that, and I was born into the JWs, and left at age 30. Maybe it was a local thing?

Me too, and I've been attending assemblies/conventions for more than half a century.
You guys never cease to amaze me at how many different ways you can kill me.
After having been revived from insane laughter, I think I'm going to get some badly needed oxygen.
You guys crack me up but good!
Hey,
Down here in the South they assign us seats. And also that is your section to clean. But most of us just sit wherever and then just go to that section to clean after the meeting. But its funny you look up to where you assigned seats are and there are no Elders or MS. Mostly just sisters doing as they are told.

With all the do's and don'ts constantly being shoved down our throats and the constant reminders by elders to anybody who didn't follow, it always seemed outrageous that some of these reminders had to spelled out so blatantly. Who were these people? I always wondered how you could be a JW and still do those things.
Not that those things didn't happen, but it seemed like any loyal JW should have known better. I was shocked that a lot of things listed were actually happening.
Tis is no joke. I havent been to a meeting or assembly in 15 years, but I remember these very clearly. But maybe we were one of the first to get them because of some of the teenagers giving each other blowjobs on the way. They were caught by an elders family in a truck passing them on the highway. HEHE and they said _I_ was a bad apple waiting to spoil the whole bunch...
Does anyone remember the smell of assemblies? It's been years since I've been to a district convention but the sharpest memory I have is the awful dirty sweaty underwear odor that seemed to pervade the whole stadium. And the boredom......how could any parent expect their child to sit there for untold hours listening to something they weren't interested in either? Should be a form of child abuse! Diana

I remember my dad would work in expediting, and in food service. I still distinctly remember the smell of garbage out in the hot sun that permiated certain areas of the assembly hall.
As for the seating thing, I remember in Wisconsin, our congregation would get assigned a certain section to clean. Though we weren't assigned to sit there, many people did. Maybe so they didn't have to get up and move so far afterwards or maybe to help make sure it was clean to begin with. I sat anyplace else. Who wants to sit with the same people you sit with every at every meeting the rest of the year. Plus, if I dozed off, it would be strangers taking note, not people I knew.
