Bizarre Urban Myth...have you heard it?

Preston

I remember a couple of years ago when I was out in field service I heard a story (haven't we all) about a district convention in California where the speaker was invited to give a talk, and as he was standing before the platform, he unexpectedly began to tell a slurry of sex jokes, profanities, and stories about his sex life. Everyone in attendance was shocked, and after he was removed from speaking, an elder had to inform the audience that what happened was completely unexpected and uncalled for. Being that I was a JW at the time I had no use for critical thinking, so I thought every word of it was true. Has anybody else heard it or, at least, a variation of it?

(P.S. I know this maybe be a less than stellar post considering recent events, but I had to think of something new since my JW's for Dummies series)

lol No that is a new one on me...lets see I HAVE heard of:

The brother who was giving a talk and his pants fell down

The sister who was out in service and didn't get killed because the killer saw two men (angels) standing next to her

The walking Smurf

Various and assorted demon stories...now that might make an interesting thread...

The sister pain in the rear

Can't think of anymore at the moment....

Will someone tell me about the walking Smurf please? I knew that Smurfs were persona non grata with the Witlesses, but I never knew why. I suppose they're really cartoon deeminz for tiny tots, huh?

I beat you by YEARS on that one. As a matter-of-fact the people who publish the "Dummies" books had their lawyer write KentS because of one of my "dummies" pieces (I think that one was "1914 For Dummies", but I forget) and told him they would SUE his sorry ass if he didn't take it off his site.

Kent responded in his usual rational and well-thought-out way and told them to go fornicate with themselves. That's why I like Kent: he is a smooth-talking guy!

I have written at least a half-dozen "Dummies" commentaries. Sorry. I did that first. However, I lay no claim that that venue. Feel free to also contribute!

Hadn't heard that one, but in my old cong. there was a brother giving a talk (can't remember which talk; I was too young) who announced:

"I don't know why I'm telling you this. I don't even believe it."

And walked off the stage, gathered his krap, and left the hall.

Even though I am da'd, I still receive calls every once in a great while from a "brother" asking me to give a Sunday talk. I guess my name is still on a few speaker lists. I wish I had the guts to have him schedule me, go their Hall and do what you just said (or maybe do the dropped pants routine!) LOL!

At one TMS meeting, a young JW woman about to give a talk stormed off the stage and went into the back room to argue with an elder and another older JW woman. She was really upset. We all heard her scream, "I don't believe this, this is not the truth!" She left shortly afterwards. She returned to the hall a few times then disappeared.

I was talk coordinator for quite a few years. I got an unlisted phone number about a year ago. However, prior to that, about once I got calls asking for a speaker, or if I was available. Sigh..........missed opportunity to slip in a few zingers to see if the secretary was following the outline. :)
