five children @ the Oakland Colosiem and many years @ the Cow Palace.Yesa sir ree Bob what fun ...any body here Know the Nazaroffs, From Clearlake, Ca. or from Santa Rosa, Ca.

I knew the Nazaroffs. Jim lived in Clearlake, back in the 60s & 70s, and was in our Circuit. He was prominent and popular with all the COs so he was always given parts on the assemblies. I forget the first name of his brother, who served in Chile for awhile in the early 70s. He visited our congregation and gave a talk about the work in Chile, which was just before the coup down there in 1973. I left in 1984 so I don't know what happened to them after that. However, I had heard that one of the Nazaroff boys was back at the Vatican in New York.

Hope this information is helpful.

The part about drawing naked people and writing notes was me, absolutely. I would make cartoon characteristics of the jws I saw. Some of them naked, others not, LOL. Most of the time I would daydream and fantasize...ahhh...the perks of an active imagination.

Jim's brother was Gil.......At my last Cow Palace trance I put the name ' Ura Pruved' on my tag and my wife put ' Ima Pruved ' on her's. It was so funny, people thinking we were from a foreign country...if they only knew.

LOL at airwlk and terafera!

I used to draw all kinds of doodles to pass the time too.

I would draw goatees, devil horns, teardrops, little captions, marijuana paraphenalia on Jesus, pornographic additions to anatomy... ANYTHING to pass the time.

Anyone else count the ceiling tiles, number of lights, number of telephone poles in the ground on the field.. anything like that?

When your so bored your brain is PLEADING for something to occupy your thoughts, you would be amazed at what you are capable of.

Airwalk, it's been 18 years since I last attended at the Cowpalace(or in Ca. for that matter). I'm sure it hasn't changed much. I hated the traffic, especially after driving(crawling) 50 miles down the bayshore freeway.

Amazing, your reference to the 1971 Kezar assembly brought back some memories. Bad ones! Those were the worst seats I ever sat on. My wifes' father was in the orchestra too.

Sorry that you had to 'endure' that torture.

It sounds like your friend Adam is a real character. I laughed a lot thinking about his 'Hail Jehovah' bit.

Really a clown!

pornographic additions to anatomy

Oh, gods, that reminds me...

One time when we were having our 'family study' (think boring as a meeting, but more so) by bro, who was like 7 at the time IIRC, colored in the breasts of one of the female statues on one of the pages in the trinity brochure.

OH. MY. GOD. Mom went *totally* off the wall when she saw that. Jumped up, ripped the magazine out of his hand, start screaming about 'How could you be so disgusting' and 'God will hate you for defacing his word' and she was tearing it up....*yikes*

Uhhh...okay...nuff sharing....

ring o attendants

Well, if you were an attendant at a Circuit or Distrinct Assembly, you got to patrol around the building during the assembly. If any 'known' apostates came in, or anyone who seemed like they would cause trouble, you'd get a couple other attendants and form a circle around them so they couldn't get anywhere - the point was to move them towards the door without touching them (so they couldn't sue anyone for physical harassment).

Hence, the "Ring O' Attendants".
