We never had any of those, but we did once have a pitch invasion!
They we giving away the flowers that were around the platform, and a huge queue had formed, but all of a sudden loads of people rushed forward and started graping the flowers.
It was very sureal, as is went very quite in the stands as people we just watching in disbelief, there was a hell of a mass after.
There was actually an item on the service meeting about it a few weeks after.
Thats Manchester for you.

Asembly security questions
by Skimmer ini've been reading the comments on the recent district assemblies and i've got some questions about the wtbts convention security teams.. 1) is it a given that anyone who tries to get in without a convention badge is going to be carefully scrutinized?
questioned?
tailed?.

Seriously
I mentioned about the ticket thing on another thread, I think they came up with this, as there was a bomb scare two years ago at this place. It was only a hoax phone call, so how a little ticket will stop this I don't know.

Patio
Squirrels - reminded me of when we had our assemblies in open football grounds, and the centre of attention was the pigeions (sp) on the pitch, which would always fly away when we clapped - hours of entertainment. How sad we were.
One year there was a HUGE thunderstorm right above the area of the ground. Just after the brother said Good morning welcome to the convention, there was the loudest clap of thunder I have ever heard - quite fitting really.

I'd say we had extra time at our assemblies, when some very enthusiastic brother would get to say a prayer. Some of them just went on and on, going over every point raise in the session. If you looked up you could see people starting to lean on the seats in front.

When things started to "fall off"
by comment ini was thinking about this in several areas today.. 1) district conventions and house-to-house work.
if you were a witness for a long time, you probably remember a time when going to the conventions seemed perfectly "normal" to you: it was absolutely "the thing" to sit in a sports arena all day listening to bible talks and counsel from men in suits.. but at some point, did you ever start to feel like you were participating in a cultural relic, so to speak?.
as in, "here it is, the 1990's, and the society is still using fundamentally the same old format they've been using all century long.

Re: Field service
All they are interested in is numbers.
When I left school, I was looking for a job. In the meantime I was 'encouraged' to pioneer. About 2 weeks into the month I was offered a job and I accepted it, as I had been looking for a few months. Because of now working I only managed about 47 hours that month, not the all important 60.
The meeting after I put my report in, the elder who does the reports made a beeline for me and demanded to know 'what went on last month' I explained about finally finding a job, but all I got was 'caring elderly encouragement' about putting Jehovah and his work first. I've never pioneered again.
