    I have a couple of stories from way back when. I'll share 2 here:

    1. We had finished celebrating the memorial - we had the second shift so it was from 7-8pm. Some of stayed behind talking in the cool of the night and the one elders wife asked what she should do with the wine in the glasses and the wafer cakes. I took one of the wafer cakes, relieved her of a glass and proceeded to drink the whole glass and eat the wafer. At first she was a little shocked, then a nervous giggle and she did the same justifying that the memorial had passed so it should be okay. It wasn't bad wine either.

    2. Again in the parking lot of the meeting had finished, an african hobo comes stumbling into the parking lot, mumbling and pointing to his chest. The man had been stabbed. We have an alarmingly high rate of aids in our country and not many people wanted blood on their hands. Ran off to the bathroom, found two plastic packets, got water and some cloths, and told someone to phone the ambulance. He lay there as I put pressure on his wound, for about 20 min. Finally the ambulance came and sorted him out - I don't know if he survived.

    The biggest snafu I have seen was when the book study had to be cancelled at the Kingdumb Hell, because the heat in the back room went dead. They didn't bother notifying us before. Instead of joining the main Hell boasting session, I simply went home (the other congregation had their boasting session in the main section, and there was heat there).

    A single Mother with three unruly little uns, hadn't noticed her youngest daughter had crawled away under the seats whilst Mommy was answering.

    (Little one about 4)

    An elderly Sister leaned forward and said "would you like to go back to your Mommy?"

    As the Mother finished we all heard this little kid shout "Oh SHUT UP you old Witch!"

    Mommy left in tears immediately.

    When I conducted the Memorial, I always brought the wine and bread home and ate and drank them. There was no need not to - the Memorial uses them as symbols. It's not as if the wine or bread becomes something else.
