    Remember reading at the book study once, think it was the evolution book, and miss read organism as orgasm. It all went quiet nobody said anything and all continued.My future wife was there and her mother which made it worse, i even mis read it again in the next paragraph.I felt terrible and coulnt look up.Laugh about it now of course.

    I once knew an elder who didn't know the difference between a combine and a concubine.

    He gave an hour talk thats main illustration involved a farmer harvesting wheat.

    He kept referring to the farmer as "climbing off' or "climbing on" his "concubine".

    I've never seen so many people stifle laughter for such a long period of time.

    SO I guess meetings were fun every once in a while....

    Hey sawthe light. If I was there, I would have laughed until I cried.

    The book studies always were mind numbing.

    Don't worry, you're not the only one that happened too. I remember a brother had the Bible highlights and he did the same thing throughout his entire part, saying orgasm, instead of, organism. He didn't even realize until it was over and sat down to a wife and daughter in stifling hysterics. Boy, was he red.

    I saw john ansell's wig come off at the tuesday group when I was at kelvin....

    it was like it had a mind of its own.....hiding behind chairs and running under tables

    all true....apart from the running and hiding bit.........it did look a bit like a tribble though

    Sounds like some "brothers" just have orgasms on the brain...freudian slip anyone?

    That happened at a book study I was in years ago. The conductors little girl was reading a scripture that had organism in it several times and she kept saying orgasm. He could hardly keep a straight face and I just had to get up and leave the room. It was sooo funny but I felt bad for him.
