Lucky for me there was a mentally retarted teenager and he was very comical. He would constantly be turning around in his seat and making funny faces at the people behind him. It was hillarious. He would go to the back and get a drink from the fountain at least once a meeting and everyone just waited to hear him because he would slurp so loud the speaker could hear him. After each long slurp came a loud "aaaaaahhhhhh". He would keep going if sombody didnt return him to his seat. This kid was great. Even the elders couldnt help but laugh out loud. I wish I could give him a big hug and just say "thanks Craig".

I was trained up to take notes....... it is merely an automatic response though.
Recently I have been sneaking a MP3 in with audiobooks.......(I still take the notes like usual)
Amazing what long hair and big earrings can hide!

I would fantasize about channeling my JW rage and becoming a cage fighter, what else?

Robdar, did you get a lot of spankings?
No, Mini, I didnt. I was well known for my knowledge and considered good association (which meant I was not popular with the other kids). It was often lamented by the elders that I wasn't a brother. Imagine the wonderful things I could have done for the good news of God's kingdom if only I had had true and proper balls.

"Your welcome!" - Craig
That was really an act of mine to get out of paying attention to those meetings. I went on to college, became an attorney, then a US Senator, and am now President of the US and leader of the free world. jk,jk,jk......
But I did have a back problem that let me get up, go to the back, and 'turn off' the meetings.

actually watching to see who was flavour of the week and trusted enough to thrust the sponge ball on a stick had at least 3 seconds of entertainment value.

LOL @ Nelly!
It makes me sad that they never could appreciate my wee girl balls.

Backroombilly I know what you are talking about. There is something about the "different" people in the congregation, or visiting that can make the meetings interesting.
