    I heard that in a certain congregation an elder was giving a talk about profanity and the need to avoid it.

    He started then counting on his fingers different obscenities and saying them out loud.

    Those in the audience were shocked. He was taken off the stage and had his elder book taken from him.

    Did anyone ever hear of this happening? Any details or similar stories on that matter?

    I was kidding about being there!!!

    The worst I heard is when he said breasts for beasts.

    What was worse is I laughed and no one else did.

    ^Haha I hated it when that happened! Like when we had that WT study some years ago and I had to go there with my mom, and it was on the topic of the city of "Shittim" only I hadn't studied at all. And then here my grandma answers and says "Yes, well in the city of Shittim there were..." and I just cracked up (Sitting right next to her too lol it was soooo embarassing). What made it worse of course was I was the oooooonly person in the room who thought it was funny... lol.

    What made it especially sad was that Bro. Carlin had been such a role model up until that point.

    (For what it's worth, I also call bull.)
