One I've heard:

A brother's about to give the public talk, as he's approaching the podium, he cuts one loose, and loud. When he gets to the stage, he says: "That was for you Satan." Everyone roared.

I remember once at a wt study the conductor asked."who then is on
the side of satan"...a smurf doll raised his hand and yelled "i am I am."..it got up and left..the elder said...."more room for me
in the paradise"

I recall when a young lad about 13-14, the puberty age, was adjusting the microphones on the stage. This stage was exceptionally high and he was clumsy at best. When he went to step off the stage he tripped and turn a complete flip off the stage and landed on his feet. He looked around kind of surprised and then walked back to his seat. We were in the floor laughing.

I can't believe I just had this flashback....

I was about 23-24 at the time. There was a sister in our cong. who had a daughter that was moderately mentally impaired.

The mother was giving talk number 4, and her daughter (about 12 at the time but more like 6) was her householder.

The little girl, Michelle, leans right into the mic and starts breathing real heavy. Not intentional, just her. This goes on for about 1 min. as the mom attempts to signal her not to do that, it was distracting and the audience was busting up silently.

Finally about 3 min into the talk the mom leans over to the side and nicely says, "Michelle, honey, stop breathing into the mic." Michelle puts her mouth right into the mic and says, "OK MOM".

At this point the cong. was busting loose. Michelle immediately starts heavy breathing again, and at this point her mom lost it. She was laughing so hard. She tried so hard to regain her composure, but after another minute or so says into the mic, "I'm sarry Yawl. I just cain't finish!" (Terrible Southern drawl.)

The audience finally felt it was ok to laugh because they just burst out as Sylvia and her daughter came off the stage, Michelle in a little bit of shock because they hadn't rehearsed it like that!

The arsehole elder felt the need when counseling her to say, "We really should try to get ahold of ourselves. After all, this is practice for the ministry which is saving lives!"

Thankfully, for once, everyone ignored him and continued to laugh.

When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.

When I was a kid a brother was was being used more and more (movin' on up) was called to give the ending prayer after a Sunday meeting. Well he was as shocked as everyone. You could tell that he was in pieces while the song came to the last sentence.

When he got up he said: "Let us bow our heads to Jehovah...." then nothing,...we kept waiting...nothing...when we looked up the brother had used the opportunity to run down the aisle and out the door!!!

Our row was in tears we were laughing so hard. Some other brother eventually got up and said a quick prayer.
But the damage was done. The other brother didn't show back up for about a month!

I got lots of funny's from when I was in dub land. Like the Elder that always managed to get his words mixed up. The results were often hilarious. Once he referred to the 'Young People Ask' Book as the Young Purpled Arsed Book! Oopsy!

I never passed up the opportunity to sleep if the opportunity arose. The best way I found was to take one of the kids out for the slightest infraction. That would always get nods of approval from the men in black. I would then make myself comfy in the rest room.......and snooze. 15 mins was great! Then I would make coffee and stay in there for as long as I could. Once I took the kids out for a walk on Sunday when they were 'playing up' and I returned toward the end. Hehe!

ISP - you sound like my husband, he would take our daughter "out" and they would end up going to the corner store...I would get in the car and find candy wrappers, empty coffe cups and soda bottles...lol and everyone thought I had such a thoughtful husband for taking his "turn" with disciplining our daughter. Needless to say she liked going outside with daddy a lot more than going with me!

Hey I was wondering...how did you make coffee in the restroom?
