  A breath of fresh air.

  I would have never put on a show of being upset about it.

  I agree it was the closest I got to Christmas as a JW! But once, the speaker did show up about 1/2 way thru the WT study so he gave his talk after. What a huge letdown

  I take that back the closest I got to Christmas as a JW was when they cancelled the meeting altogether because of the weather. It doesn't get any better than that!

  I also loved it when meetings were cancelled due to weather.

  Same here. I remember looking out my window as a kid, thinking "woooo hooo" as the snow came falling down. I was always so disappointed when there was STILL a meeting the following morning.

  My job was to give those last minute talks. Koff, koff... I don't mean to brag, but I could give every outline with zero prep. I used to get jazzed by it. The less prep the more adrenalin, the more fun.
