  "19 It has also been observed that at some conventions a few teenagers sit in upper portions or remote areas of the auditorium, pass notes, whisper, and generally do not pay attention to the program. Conduct of this nature indicates that they still need parental supervision and should be seated with the family. Responsible parents will give attention to these matters and provide the guidance needed by their children. (Eph. 6:4) Brothers, sisters, and young ones should appreciate that when the program is on, it is a time to be listening, not talking."

  Boy do I ever remember that one.....I wasn't allowed to go and sit with my friends anymore after this came out...y'know...couldn't whisper or pass notes anymore...

  as far as all those kids running around the hotels, I wonder why those shepards weren't tending the flock and hearding them back to their corrals. Maybe they need examples to speak of examples.

  edited to add At one convention a group of young ladies sat together writing notes back and forth, one note happen to fall on the floor and an elder (by the hand of God) picked it up, read it and handed it over to the elders, It was read later in the afternoon, so we got to hear how the young ones would meet in the hotel while mom and dad were at the assembly and how the young sister loved men and so on. they were told they did not have the fear of God in them and that they need to report to the elders. AN UPDATE was given a year later saying that they had all repented. Uh huh!

  I am using this forum as a way to train myself to be more concise in my writing. From the length of this post, however, it looks like I am fighting a losing battle.

  Apart from the fact that people often act poorly in public, what can you expect of a group of people who are repressed as a matter of policy while being taught they are better than anyone else? They take it out on their inferiors.

  I have worked as a waiter. I made good tips averaging about $100 a night before the IRS started taxing tips. I figured out early that, as a waiter, I was making more than many of my customers.. I was good at my job. I took pride in offering a service

  I was never so poorly treated as I was by people who could only afford to eat out about once a year due to their lack of income. While some were really nice people, many were of the attitude that, You are here to SERVE ME, dammit! And that is exactly what you WILL do. (This is almost verbatim from a dried-up little old Scotsman. Wish I had rung his red neck at the time. But, he was a CUSTOMER! Had to take it or lose my only income. He was a regular). This coupled with the ever-present mother-in-law (who they had to bring along) who knew exactly how to deal with The Help.

  Please forgive me for what I am about to say. But, the scathing comments and the scorn and the ill-mannered adults and children taught me a lot about the meaning of the term white trash. Suffice to say that it wasnt just white people who were abusive either.

  Before it comes up let me say I took pride (very un-brother-like) in my job. I liked what I did and welcomed each guest. But can you imagine the burning hatred coming from some ill-mannered lout (or loutesse) whose sole entertainment was to degrade and humiliate someone who was beneath them?

  I see the same thing from the witnesses. They are abused and ridiculed in their own house by men who tie up huge burdens and strap them on the backs of their people. When these people unburden, that is when they have the opportunity to let loose in another city, in a hotel, do you wonder why they act so poorly?

  Many things said in the KM are reasonable. If for no other purpose than to lighten the loads on the people who have to serve the vacationing witnesses.

  I dont think that all witnesses are low-class for lack of a better term. Many are well educated and extremely bright. But lets face it. In any group of 100 people, 50% are going to be below average (is my math right?)

  These people are victims, for the most part, who are away from home and therefore exempt from the rules of civil (Christian?) conduct and just want to do unto others what has been done unto them.

  These are simply my observations as a white trash beaner from south of the border who has wide experience with people.

  Some diners are good tippers. Others view tipping as optional. I knew some JW's that would not tip. I would not dine with them and I always told them why. Some people are very demanding toward the waitstaff. When a Witness is at an assembly area and dines out with their "badge", they serve notice to the "world" that they are cheap or bothersome. I never wore my "badge" when I went out. Why would I want to be shabbily treated out in public???

  True, Minimus.

  Fact is my tips were my income. The base pay didnt even represent a living wage. I actually offered to work for just tips. The manager just couldnt conceive of this. My mom had worked as a waitress in the 30s and 40s and had worked for tips only. She taught me a lot about the work. I used my time as a waiter to train myself in the psychology of dealing with the public.

  As a result of this, I have prided myself on being able to deal with just about anyone.

  As for tips, I am convinced that it means to insure prompt service. I ALWAYS tip. But adjust it so suit the server. One thing I learned is that you cant take it out on your customers if you are having a bad day. Really good thing to know!

  One thing I hate about my country is that here, there is very little concept of customer service. That is to say, Mexican to Mexican, there is precious little. We have a lot to learn from Americans in this regard. We have even more to learn from the Japanese. Customer service is an art form there.
