    I know a lady when I grew up who had a husband who died in his 80s while she was in her late 40s. Soon after she married a guy who just turned 21. Last I heard they were still married when he turned 40. Also there was a couple her first name was Kerry and the guy she married last name was Carey so she became Kerry Carey. Echo echo.

    Yes we had our share of strange ones...hehe

    We had this guy who many refered to as Homer (Simpson) he looked quite similar and his voice too. Funny & sad all at once

    how people get silly names put to them...

    Anyways he was on Mikes this sunday and he ripped one...he jumped like he was startled and

    quickly looked behind him...hehe like there was someone behind him that did it. It was hard not to split

    a gut bursting out with laughter. If not that he was always scratching his head like he had flea's..

    He was a nice person down to earth but it was so hard not to be amused at his antics...

    One year the drama was about Jezebel. The pioneer sister (about 40 y) who played Jezebel had long black hair and looked like the WTBS depicts her. About one month after the assembly, she was DF'd for sleeping with her teenage daughter's (who was also a pioneer) boyfriend. Her husband divorced her and she married her young lover. Strangely enough though, her daughter was upset with the dad not the mom.

    I too witnessed a death on the stage at a CA

    Running across the yard yelling "I sold some" reminded me of a friend who had a real talkative kid who started singing the Kingdom song "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" while they were standing in line at the grocery store.

    2 things for me:

    1. Young kid that used to tell his parents about me, then they would tell my parents, what I was doing at school, etc. Turns out this young boy, 1990, murders his mom and dad, and rapes his mom afterward. My dad is the one that found the mom 1st in their basement, story posted here sometime ago.

    2. I was 17, brother was 32. Friends with my dad & mom (my parents were only 34, my age now!, had me young). My parents went on vaca, this brother called me and told me that he wanted to help me get my own place when I turned 18. He then had plans to ask me to marry him. I was overcome with LOVE! Ha. He told me that he would talk to my parents when they return. I had a volly ball party that day my parents returned. He came over. I came home and our house was up for sale, my parents wanted to move me to another hall where there were more young people my age (I am so glad they did that). Very exciting time in my life, but sad at the same time, my parents gave me such heartache over this, we just packed up and left and they continued to watch my every move until I left 7 months after I turned 18.

    I once attended a wedding at a KH ...huge building....the local BOE allowed the worldly sister of the bride to be in the wedding party....who was also to sing during the wedding procession....very good singer... even if it was Kingdumb Melodies.....

    ....oh....you wanted strange?........

    the worldy singing sister of the bride was wearing a big gold cross on a necklace plain as day.....

    ...this was the same congo that the next day I observed elders snoring during the meeting....

    One funny one sad:

    This one congregation that used wireless microphones. One of the brothers had to use the bathroom and took the microphone into the bathroom with him. Within a few minutes you could hear over the loud speakers the sounds of------how should I say-------pushing and then the tell-all kerplunk into the bowl. The brother was moaning and cursing out the beans he had for dinner. Impossible to keep a straight face, even the person on the platform was dying of laughter. When he came out of the bathroom and realized what happened he went home.

    The sad story: my grandmother suffered a brain hemorrage while giving a talk and never recovered. Died 5 days later.

    The poor old sister that died during the circuit assembly but no one notices until lunch because she was just slumped over with her eyes closed like everyone else. By that time the poor thing was cold and stiff. Twenty something retarded men marrying normal IQ (debatable) late forty something women. It gets worse it happened twice and one of them even reproduced. Another sister would have catatonic episodes and lay in front of the drinking fountain as still as a corpse with her eyes closed (like a speed bump) .

    I was giving a #4 talk many years ago and was about 1/2 of the way thru it.
    Looked up and police and paramedics were running across the back of the hall. I just focused on my talk, just about finished it
    and they were carrying out a teenage sister on a stretcher.

    in the comments after my talk the overseer commented how poised, and in self-control I was with all the activity going on.

    The poor girl had a seizure in the bathroom.
