when did the watchtower discontinue food service at the district conventions?
Faygo and Shasta are a lot alike. Cheap soda that no one really likes. Insane Clown Posse shakes up bottles of Faygo at their concerts and showers the audience so they can dance in the Faygo Rain. That's what inspired this Faygo Armeggedon. You'll see makeup and ICP paraphenalia.
Lot's of fruity flavors, and the worst cola on earth---both brands--BUT CHEAP!
does anyone have any dub urban legend stories?.
i remember a story running rampant when i was in my pre-teenage years that went a little something like this:.
word on the street was that a young child went to the circuit assembly with his parents.
This subject came up on another thread---so I pulled this one up and it's hilarious. I thought I'd bump it so we can add some more.

you guys think that all the experiences about angels helping brothers or protecting brothers were true?
for e.g the experience where brothers were running away from nazis and were being shot at whilst running were said to be protected by an angel running backwards and stopping the bullets.
or the one where two sisters go to a door and a man that had intentions of killing them hesitated because he claimed he saw an angel behind them or the one where a smurf gets up from his seat at the front of the kingdom hall looks at the brother giving the talk and says "i had enough of this" what do you guys think?
Those stories aren't true. Here, check out this thread. It is one of MANY. We especially like smurfs here!

They should have chosen FAYGO instead---then we would have gotten our armegeddon. Just like it was prophesied . . .

Go ahead and give NewChapter the Shasta. I only liked the lemon lime,the cola was just awful.
LOL, we can share EP. lemon-lime was probably the least offensive.

I believe 1995. Here is from a 1995 Kingdom Ministry. The 1994 KM's were business as usual.

FurtherStepstoBeTaken: We look to Jehovah for his blessing as we move forward progressively. We are happy to see that he has given his people the needed spirit of wisdom and understanding. We must agree that through the faithful slave class, Jesus Christ has directed matters efficiently for the outworking of Jehovah’s purpose in a marvelous way. (Matt. 24:45-47; Col. 1:9, 10) An announcement in the December OurKingdomMinistry stated: “Beginning with the 1995 district conventions and the September 1995 circuit assemblies and special assembly days, there will be no food served. Each one is to bring his own food and drink.” Circuit assemblies and special assembly days will continue with their present simplified food service arrangements through August 1995. There has been a positive response to this announcement. You may be interested in knowing how this change will be of benefit. Perhaps the following review of adjustments that have been made in recent years will prove to be a good reminder of the benefits we have already received by simplifying the work at conventions.
next sunday is the discussion of the 7/15/2011 wt article about shunning.
i am planning to stand outside of a kh on a major street with a big banner that says that the jws do indeed destroy families with their shunning policy.
i will have many copies of the article that will be discussed that day.. anyone else have any plans?.
Yeah---I was pleasantly surprised. The tone that Serenity and another woman (she doesn't post here) took was quite refreshing and thoughtful. They aren't trying to destroy the entire organization with their banner--they are not deluded. They just have an important piece of information and feel the need to share it. As I said, I'm usually put off by such protests---but their attitude really changed my thoughts on it.
So many interested people understand on an intellectual level the idea of shunning (I did) but they don't fully understand the true cost of such evil behavior. Maybe if they press forward and find themselves having to shun someone, the sign will come to mind. We never can tell.

I think I saw Serenity's banner. It actually surprised me. It is tasteful---and I think it is geared toward outsiders and people that may be interested in JW's---like a warning. It's not something I would do-but it doesn't seem to be protest style so much as informative. It simply says something like Shunning Destroys Families. There is a watchtower style pic on it with a family facing an ocean together.
Just wanted to put it into context.

I think I'm with the smurf.
convention experience from japan !
from gary wong.
as part of a convention program in japan , a sister was asked to give her experience of how she came into the truth.
Just a heads up, the original OP was from 2 years ago. I just found it and thought it was funny/interesting.
