For one thing, those boys would never have approached this man, for another, the guy would never have told this story without taking credit for the results in front of the whole congregation. A similar story involved a train full of people about to jump track on a bridge where the father had to make a split decision in sacrificing his son.

WHEN A FAST APPROACHING STORM BLOCKED ANY ATTEMPT TO GET BACK TO THE SHORE.
They couldn't sail back to the shore, but they could swim in a storm?
TO WHICH BOY WOULD HE THROW THE OTHER END OF THE LIFE LINE.
Neither. This is why life vests and flotation devices exist and are required by law.
THE FATHER KNEW THAT HIS SON WAS A CHRISTIAN AND HE LOVED JEHOVAH HE ALSO KNEW THAT HIS SON'S FRIEND WAS NOT
AND HAD NOT LEARNED TO LOVE JEHOVAH.
Since when would his son be allowed "bad association" with this worldly kid who had not learned to love Jehovah?
HIS BODY WAS NEVER RECOVERED!
Maybe he ended up in the belly of a whale?
BY THIS TIME, THE TWO TEENAGERS WERE SITTING UP STRAIGHT, ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THE NEXT WORDS TO COME OUT OF THE AGED GENTLEMAN'S MOUTH.
Because they weren't bright enough to see where this was *obviously* leading, and thought it was a *true* story that really happened and everything. Gullible JWs.
WITH THAT, THE OLD GENTLEMAN TURNED AND SAT BACK DOWN IN HIS CHAIR AS SILENCE FILLED THE ROOM.
Yes, like most stuff produced by old farts, "silent but deadly."
WITHIN MINUTES AFTER THE SERVICE ENDED
This is how we know the story was ripped off from Christendom: Since when are Kingdom Hall "talks" called services? http://www.snopes.com/glurge/choice.asp

It looks like somebody's playing a cruel joke on the JWs. I originally saw this e-mail years ago in a non-JW form. It was about a preacher and a traveling preacher. Somebody must have changed preacher for elder and added the CO part to it. Unfortunately, many a JW will eat this up with out thinking. This is what the e-mail looks like in it's original form.

As mentioned, they should all have been wearing lifejackets.
Also:
A real father would have tied the rope to the boat, thrown it out to one of the boys, then he would have jumped in and swam over to save the other boy.
A real father would give up his own life to save someone, instead of being a p$ssy and sacrificing his own child.

Apart from the obvious rip off that neverendingjourney shares with us, A local elder might introduce a visiting speaker, who then uses this dramatic illustration, he would then proceed to guilt/shame/bore the hell out of the audience for the next forty minutes. When he finished they would then move into a song, the an hour "study" [no study involved...recital of pre-pared ansewrs from the gb] of the WT, another song then visiting speaker prays for 15 minutes.
When do the two teenagers get to run up and talk to him directly after his "service"? and since when does the local elder then give another "service" after the visiting speaker has supposedly given his?
