Did You Get To "Handle The Microphones"??? (page 2)

I got to handle the mics, sound system and stage. Of course the biggie...I got to read the Watchtower, which I had to do a lot because so many brothers did not show when it was their turn and since I was a good reader they always asked me to fill in. Come to think of it I had to fill in all the time for sound, stage and mics...I had a bunch of slackers in my hall!!!

I was a teenage mike handler. It was a great way to check out the girls. Cleavage viewing - aaahhh yes , a nice distraction. I love eye candy

Yes, like others it was a welcome distraction and made the meeting go much faster. It was also one of the reason's I got babtised was to get to do the mikes.

Reading the WT was another thing that made it go fast to.

Yes - I had to encourage some of the teenage sisters to speak into the microphone as they were somewhat shy at first - once they got the hang of it they loved it though....

I got to do the mikes aswell...also no wireless but with huge great long cords that could trip all and sundry.

One time an elderly bro was doing the mikes,only he used to hold the mike behind his back when it wasn't in use................You're ahead of me now eh?..............and he was a flatulant kind of bro. The result was chaos.....from dissaproving stares to outright mirth!!

I am trying to think of any funny microphone stories. About as good as I can get is the occassional young brother who zones out and forgets to pass the mike. Never happened to me, but those others, let me tell you..

How about that time I was running sound in the boring last 20 minutes of the service meeting, and suddenly Tanya Tucker burst forth over the system singing "Dell-tu-aa Dawn -- what's that flower you have on". I blamed it on some cowboy trucker with a CB radio - nobody else knew enough about electronics to effectively challenge me.

Our hall wa shsared by 2 congs and our side was responsible for upkeep of the sound equipment. Our main amplifier broke and we were replacing it one night. Unknown to us a group of elders and the CO came in for a meeting. Instead of coming in to say hello, they made a beeline to the confernce room room to start their meeting. This conference room doubled as a place where parents could take their misbehaving kids.

I was like 19 at the time and pretty rebellous. They wouldn't let me handle the microphone but since no one else knew crap about the sound equipment I was often called in when they had issues. Once we had the system installed we decided to test it out so i popped in my AC/DC Back in Black tape and proceeded to crank it up. So here I am walking up and down the aisles trying to hear for dead zones and one of the elders comes running in all red faced to inform me that a meeting was in progress.

This guy was a pretty cool (young) and at that point I had no idea that the CO was with them, so I was all smiles. About 10 seconds later the CO and other elders came into the room...I then realized the gravity of the situation. My excuse? The kingdom melody tapes did not have enough bass tones to do an effective job of adjusting the sound quality and I knew how this music was suposed to sound (all BS).

I thanked my luck star that I had not grabbed the Highway to Hell tape.....that would have been tough to explain.
