Aww, 5go, that's sad.
I was just always trolling for a husband so I could get laid. Thank God I looked outside the borg to scratch that itch.
I was too "goodie goodie" for the bad boys yet not "spiritual enough" for the so-called good boys. Go figure.

I really think some the Sociey posts a outline for experiences and they find someone in the District or Circuit who is close in circumstance...then it gets scripted into a composite story to make whatever point they are going for.
pretty much. When I was in rehearsals for circuit parts (never had a DC part), I would hear the other parts. They would go over and over those experiences ad nauseum until it was perfect. Only later (at MTS) did I find out that those experiences are in the outlines (ie...give local experience on {fill in the blank})... then the CO calls around to all the POs in the congo (now they email the request) to see if there is an experience close to that. The problem is that they had to find someone who had gone through the experience and was now in good standing and a good example!.... which is why those experiences have to be tweaked.
Funniest moment at a DC: We were meeting at a racetrack in Springfield, IL. It was hotter than hell. And being the midwest, it was also high humidity. Everyone is sweating and had their umbrellas out. As the day progressed, clouds started appearing. Everyone wanted clouds to provide relief, but of course nobody wanted rain.
The drama that day was on Noah.... yep..you know where this is going. You probably know the audio has almost always been canned (pre-recorded) and the "actors" {gag} just try to lip sync (Milli Vanilli did a better job lip syncing, but I digress). So there stands "Noah", front and center on the stage on the racetrack..... the clouds are darkening, the downpour begins. Poor "Noah" is drenched. Here comes the punchline. "Noah" raises his hands to the heavens, and the voice on the audio blares across the speakers: "I have never seen rain before!" "Noah", hands still outraised, is dying laughing...certainly not keeping up with the script. The audience roared with laughter.
I remember that even though I was just a kid at the time...probably back in the mid 70s. I remember that scene only, but not the point of the drama.

I am growing more disgusted each year with the trotting of young ones on stage. Now that I know some are forced on stage by guilt, or by trickery.
That kid I mentioned wasn't though BTW.
Once I was at a horsetrack that was used for an assembly. A storm started and the lightning was so close you could hear it before the thunder. I think one of the trees in the parking lot was hit by lightning...Really quite scary.
I did a few circuit parts as a teen. They cast those things. We were allowed to work in very little during the interview and it was all a fishing trip to satisfy the outline.
Good old Tenn 3!

My favorite moment was at the end of a morning session, when I was a teenager. There was an English brother (strong accent) that announced:
"And now we will have intercourse until 1:30 p.m."

The Silverdome, Pontiac, Mich. What early 90's? It's the afternoon session, kinda hot, had no air in that place. So, anyways. There was a black brother on the platform, his part, and he anonunces to the audience" All you young people up there walking around.........smiling......... styling........... and ((((((((((((((((( PROFILING)))))))))))))))))))).... come on down here and set with your folks." He had the whole stadium rolling in the aisles. We now quote him quite often in private BS sessions, if you know what I mean.

I was stood up during the prayer, my hands clasped behind my back, and the brother behind me gave a massive sneeze. I caught the snotball in my hands. Thanks.
1972 Scarborough Maine - Day 1 of the assembly, convicts escape from the State Prison and the fairgrounds needs to be searched by the Maine State Police. The entire convention is told to leave (1 p.m., or so) and the police check out each car, trunk, and occupant of a vehicle. I'm a bible study and my hair is down my back, wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Guns pointed at me until a positive ID was done - everyone knew me at that assembly the rest of the days. The convicts were far away from the fairground. The flock got an afternoon and evening off.
Snakes--I was at that assembly! We had to sit outside, so of course we had to sit in the rain. I remember getting a bad sunburn at that assembly. It's so stupid, the things we endured thinking we were pleasing Jah!
