  The topic title sounds terrible, I know, but why mince words?

  In our local congregation rumor has it, in a conversation amongst a group of friends at a restaurant the other night, that the elders in a congregation in our district recently offered counsel to someone who practiced a very unsettling habit during meetings. The sister used the words "flipping snot" to describe it.

  You can well imagine the groans and loud exclamations of disgust at that dinner table upon hearing this unbelievable tale! I read so many posts on Simon's board about those who are in very snotty moods when attending meetings, although I understood this was a metaphor. And so, I thought some of you might find this metaphor-come-to-life "grim fairy tale" rather amusing at best.

  I wonder if anti-social behavior occurs frequently or infrequently at meetings in Kingdom Halls? Aren't we supposed to be above the rest of the world in the fruits we produce? I believe this is rare, based on the fact I've never seen it happen. One can only let out sighs of relief that the elders were willing to help solve this problem.

  I remember a visiting elder that gave the Sunday talk. During the WT study he sat in the front aisle seet and friggin' started a mining operation. Picked and rolled 2.3 metric tons of snot, I swear.

  Derrick,

  Glad to see your goofy observations. You are a constant in my life and I thank you for that.

  I think that "flipping snot" is one of the most serious problems facing the WTS today. I think that if they dealt with the "flipping snot" problem, then most of we apposers would just go away.

  Thank you for sharing, Brother Rick. It's always a pleasure to deal with your insight into the nature of JW-related issues.

  You got me laughing, and I'll be breaking out in giggles for most of the night I'm sure of it! Oh boy that is one bad elder, must have been difficult to sit through the meeting for you. ;-D

  You're quite welcome, Brother Farkel. And the pleasure of such was all mine! Glad to share some JW-related issues and insightful experiences that one cannot easily mine (pun intended) from the Society's own CDROM library, and that one will never hear shared as experiences at this summer's district assemblies. ;->

  I firmly support the witnesses effort to eliminate nose picking in their meetings. I don't won't to be personally involved, but morally, I'm behind them on this one.
