JW Convention Exhortations: Brothers, please be at your seats, the program is about to begin. You should have already eaten and gone to the bathroom by now. It is time to take your seats and enjoy the fine spiritual feast that comes from the loving provision of Gods organization. I recall one CO at the platform sarcastically saying, 'I am waiting brothers ... those in the back of the Assembly Hall, please take your seats you are holding up the program.' Brothers, should you really be getting up going to the bathroom during the program? We have frequent breaks for your convenience. Your should really be at your seats taking in this fine spiritual food that the FDS has prepared for you.
BRCI Conference: No instruction. If you have to pee, just do it.
BUT, I learned something from JW conventions! Bathroom breaks? Oh, I learned a s a JW to hold it because going to the bathroom, I might miss some important nugget of truth. But, I finally got so absorbed and practiced in the art of digging out these nuggests of truth, that I just stayed in my stadium seat and peed in my pants.
Actually, that happened one time when my daughter was sitting on my lap, and I got so absorbed in the program, that she peed on my lap, which in turn wet my pants, and filled the plastic stadium seat with about an inch of water. I laughed and dripped, and of so many Conventions over the years, that was something which stood out in my memory. But, I finally learned why so many dads got up to walk their kids around. They could not stand anymore "nuggets" of truth, and they got tired of their kids getting their pants wet. We learn to get the kids out walking around and close to the bathroom so we can stay dry. - Amazing
