    What lies they tell!! Still, they do believe that the only ones entitled to truth are those in "the Organisation", don't they?

    Way to go, Elsewhere!

    He said that what was being talked about was for "spiritually mature" people and the general public may not understand what was being talked about. Basically this guy knew that the conventions have information that makes the JWs look really bad and "high control". You should have seen him... he was all jittery and squwerming in his chair trying to explain to me why I could not record the convention without actually telling me "no".

    In a few weeks, I get to enjoy the same thing. Women can hide in hide in plain sight too, since we don't count. Any tips as to which talk I to take notes on?

    The "shadow" guy who was assigned to me was there through all of this and after I got through with the conversation without giving up my request to record, he told me that they don't usually get people "off the street" like me. I gave him a puzzled look and showed him the print out from the jw-media.org web site that said that the public was invited and encouraged to attend the conventions... he didn't have much to say to that and was forced to allow me to continue... I, of course, had word directly from the Faithful and Discrete Slave!!! How could he contradict that???

    that deserves a gold medal!!

    I wouldn't be surprised if later on in a service meeting, one of those BOE letters from Brooklyn announces a new policy about not letting "outsiders" attend the conventions at all. I can just see them doing that!!

    I've actually thought occasionally what it would be like to attend a convention out of the blue

    Hmmm, never thought about it. It would definitely be interesting as I would NOT be clad in dub or business casual attire.

    Is there anyone here from the UK who would like to meet up and hand tracts out, outside the Manchester DS convention?

    If anyone would like to see the entire new brochure called Keep on the Watch... just PM me. I might happen to know someone who might happen to have a copy available for download.
