Experience about not bringing our own food to the convention

Isn't this special? This is an e mail making the rounds...... Remember the letter that was read to all congregations regarding going out to get food during the break.? My sister was at the convention this pass weekend and they said the brothers had met with the Cow Palace management and told them that a letter had been read to all the congregations about requesting the friends not to go out during the afternoon break and get food. Reason being is that the staff at cow palace want to open the concession stands and sell food, they figured McD's and KFC and other places are making all this money and they want in on it.. They had noticed that the brothers/sisters had been doing this for several years and wondered if they can't afford this then why are they going out to do it (that's why society lost all the other arenas due to management wanting to open concessions and sell food. (The Society said NO) Anyway, at this past weekend's convention, unbeknownst to the brothers, the management secretly went down to the various fast food places to see if the brothers/sisters obeyed and they were pleasantly shocked or surprised to learn that NOT ONE OF THE Witnesses had gone down during the break to get food. They went back and told the brothers what they had done and the managment said they were shocked! They could not believe that a letter had been read to all congregations and that everyone obeyed! Needless to say the brothers were so happy to hear that and are going to let the society know. What a great witness! So they want everyone to know what happened and hope and pray that at the next conventions to come,all the friends will do the same. Please let everyone know about this Sent as received in a message from Brother Ted Kaskaras

I call bullshit. They probably just took off their badges.

Smells like JW propaganda.

Yeah, like the "management" is going to go around and do this. I have heard many a tale like this before.

Although the letters read to the congregations undoubtedly had some effect on people leaving the conventions to get food, it is hard to believe that EVERYONE obeyed. Especially the abumndance of JW youth who don't even give a s*** about anything from the platform anyway. This may last for a time, but over the years people are going to trend towards being normal people. Which means doing the "normal" things people do, like go and procure food to eat when they are hungry. This is just another highly unbiblical policy of the WTS in order to further control its members.

They probably went to the local bars to drown their sorrows.

A word of warning here. If you attend any assembly and are accosted by any brother who questions you about going

out to a fast food restaurant - or staying at an unapproved hotel, GET HIS NAME AND REPORT THE INCIDENT

IN WRITING to the business AND to the convention site managers.

Tell them that Witness thugs are trying to force ordinary Witnesses to comply with Watchtower dictates.

I think they would like to hear about pressure being brought to bear to avoid their restaurants and hotels.
