    During our previous or current stint in the Org, we all know that each congregation had a Publisher who had a peculiar way of raising his or her hand.
    Do you remember...

    1)...the 'Black Power' one?

    2)...the "Ooh-Ohh! I know the answer!" one?

    3)...the 'Leper' one?

    4)...the 'Yosemite Sam' one?

    5)...the 'Richard Nixon' one?

    6)...the "I can't wait until this friggin' meeting is over!" one?

    7)...the "This may feel uncomfortable when it first goes in" one?

    One's not shown...

    The 'Shake-your-fingers-as-fast-as-you-can' one.
    The 'I am raising my hand but don't wanna be called on' one.
    The 'Keep your hand raised even while you're commenting' one.
    The 'Raise your hand the second after someone else has been called' one.

    Are there any others???

    Mister Biggs,

    I was definately #6 and sometimes the don't wanna be called on one. It's a wonder that I stayed in as long as I did. I was there physically but never there mentally or emotionally. Maybe that's why I don't have the anger that people more involved have.

    Interesting perspective on why you're not as bitter or angry as most former JW's.
    I am deinitely the 'Raise your hand the second after someone else has been called on' one.

    That was funny. Very true too.

    LOL mr biggs,

    there was an old farmer who would just barely lift his finger, while it was on his lap, to signal he had an answer. It got to be such a joke that serveral of us starting doing the same little gesture just to frustrate the wt contuctor. hehe After that, the poor guy conducting the wt would jump at any movement in the audience and would call on them. (it was a very small congo of just 20 :-) )

    LOL this is too funny! I usually only raised it enough so my mom could see I was trying to answer but not high enough for the conductor to see it. Then when I was older I was one of those people that only raised their hand when it was time to read a scripture.

    Its funny though all the pioneers in our hall had the number 4..wonder why that is.

    thanks for the laugh :)

    I usually just held my had straight up although I did usually have my pen in between my fingers!

    We used to have one sister that would raise her hand and if not called on, would just rest it on the top of her head till the next one. She raised her hand almost every question, the funny part is her name was Pat!!!! hahhaha
