We had a Circuit Overseer and wife stay at our home for pre-convention work, Joe and Margaret Wood. Joe was Installation Overseer and Margaret worked on Rooming. They worked so hard much of the time in Gorst Road, they came home exhausted. On Sundays occasionally Joe would take me in field service and trained me to be a shepherd. Wonderful memories.
Lloro porque recuerdo que también mis hijos y yo en 1981 fuimos a primera asamblea y estaban chiquitos sufrimos muchos golpes y hambres por castigos que teníamos por asistir y lloro porque ahora no somos nada tenemos que aguantar el bulling la pobreza lo pobre que somos sin trabajo y lejos uno de otro somos ignorados después de sufrir 40 años o más yendo a reunirnos a predicar a asambleas con tantod problemas que tuvimos y ahora ni siquiera nos aceptan nos corren nos señalan nos ignoran. Lloro mucho pues nunca fuimos aceptados por pobres 😢😂pero, Jehová vive
My Great Great Grandmother Jessie Hannah Adams (1887-1984) of Slough was baptised at this convention aged 83. She served faithfully until she died. She would sit in the car and offer magazines to passersby. Her Grandson (my Granddad Frank Adams) had been baptised in 1967 at Brighton along with my Nan (both from Maidstone). What a reward for my Grandparents in itself for getting the family underway in the truth! And Granddad and Jessie will be reunited soon along with so many others.
My Mum and Dad went to this convention I believe. My sister remembers it as a child of 9 years . She said it was around 6 or 7 days and the sessions went into the evening. Imagine that. I remember being at Twickenham in the early eighties and they were 3 or 4 days and those hard old seats were very uncomfortable after a couple of hours. I have some very happy memories of Twickenham as a child. The catering operation back then and being able to get bacon rolls and coffee during the sessions, although it used to really annoy my mum. She was a bit of a puritan. We would get a biscuit and a flask of coffee during the talks. I used to go and help out back then there wasn't the health and safety rules we have now.. Different times really and back then I remember the older brothers and sisters really new their bible and were very zealous and studious at studying material. People were also a bit more open about things they weren't sure about or couldn't personally reconcile. I remember there was a lot of debate over what was allowed with blood, and also who wouldn't get a resurrection. Even as a child of ten I found it odd people were arguing about some concept in the future. I always remember though some lovely, Warm people with good hearts who were sincere and keen to go and preach and things seemed warmer and gentler then. It seems to have moved on a lot since then
So wonderful! Nothing will separate me from Jehovah, I love Him. Very proud of being a Jehovas Witness. Hello sister. How's it going? I bring you friendly greetings and Agape from your Christian brother.

We went to the NYC Yankee Stadium that year for this assembly. At 12:33, was he smoking a pipe?
pretty much frowned upon since 1895, only stopped in 1973
Dziękuję, pozdrawiam wszystkich serdecznie
My parents got baptised there in the lake 😊
If these people didn't keep in expectation of Jesus we would not be 9 million
