Sounds great to me. The Corporation has reduced the simple act of getting a decent meal into an act of rebellion. Good! Teach em to rebel and get comfortable with it. Way to go!
No Food Coolers at Assemblies!

They load up the people with minute regulations and heavy loads which they themselves aren't willing to budge with their finger tips.
They are becoming more and more exactly like the Pharisees of old with each and every passing day.

Tailgate parties! Why didn't I think of that years ago??? And it's so hot in Ft. Worth in June/July that you wouldn't even need the grill -- just fry 'em up on the hood of your car. Well, that would cause quite a stir, especially if there's beer (can't have a proper tailgate party without it).
As for me, I always hated lugging a cooler of any size, as well as a diaper bag, bookbag and purse.

This cooler rule is not too new... and there's nothing really wrong with it. They just didn't want people bringing those enormous coolers that take up seating space. People bring small personal coolers and those are fine.
It is lame that they have to continually remind people about things that should be common sense.

The "special elect" brothers and their families DO have catered lunches up in those nice air-conditioned press boxes while the rest of the peons sit fanning themselves in the stadium!

And here I thought they lived on locusts and wild honey! Another hope dashed . . . .

I used to get sick just in ANTICIPATION of going to District Assemblies! Ohmygawd what a tremendous amount of work, boredom, discomfort, and ultimately total exhaustion! When my last child was born, he was only two months old when we went to the DC at a stinky, dusty, hard chaired horse racing track in Chicago in July. And...we had to bring our own food AND the parking was such that our car was literally almost half a mile away AND we had the baby trappings, book bags, diaper bag and two children 4 and 6 in their hot SUITS, who couldnt draw or color or do ANYTHING but sit there all freaking day listening to adult level conversation that most of the ADULTS were sleeping through....
That last assembly, I was stuck getting everything packed away and accounting for the three kids, while holding the youngest who was still breastfeeding....and dragging all the stuff down to the lower level near the exit...waiting for my husband to show up. He had gone to "see what their assignment was" and didnt come down for almost TWO HOURS!!! I was livid!!! So Im stuck there with three EXHAUSTED children with NOTHING to do watching everybody else go HOME and hes off kissing elder BUTT. Not only did he do OUR assignment he volunteered with somebody ELSES assignment and never even came to check on us.
I told him right there in that echoing foyer...'IM NEVER GOING TO ANOTHER DISTRICT ASSEMBLY AS LONG AS I LIVE!" ....and ...I didnt. He of course was mad at ME because "You dont have any appreciation for Jehovahs arrangement or his spiritual food!" There is no winning an argument with them. Assemblies....torture.

Personally, I don't have a problem with this, because the case of beer I bring to the assembly, in lieu of food, fits very nicely under my seat.
Helps me to pay clooooooooooooose attention through a semi-haze......................

Personally, I am not bothered at all: I am not going to any convention at all.
I guess this means I wil set up a Hibachi at home. -
