The sound of one Dub clapping (page 3)

OUTLAW

Hey LadyLee,you didn`t clap?Are you some kind of renegade?I have no doubt you put some people off by not clapping.They need clappers and plenty of them.(LOL)You know those lights that go off and on when you clap?I wonder what happens to those lights in the surrounding neighbourhoods when dubs clap?It`s probably a hell of a light show..LOL..This thread is getting some good posts,thanks to everybody who has posted...OUTLAW

Ehhh?

What about the Convolution Clapping?

You know, the clapping that starts out in a section of the assembly, then the surrounding sections start clapping...then decide they shouldn't and stop. BUT, the section that started keeps going, and so the surrounding sections (and ones next to THEM) start going a little...then stop again. Repeat and wash a few times until the entire assembly is finally clapping...

Weirdness.

And, yeah, I remember the whole 'prompted' feeling.

My family used to spend time with another family quite a bit (so there were, with me and my bro, about a half dozen boys total sitting together). We'd get in some kind of unofficial 'competition' to see who could clap the LOUDEST (you know how boys are).

OMG, 6 boys cupping their hands just so and WAILING them together to generate the most volume. Stung like HELL afterwards, but WHEW what a ruckus.

Didn't really have any effect - everyone must have just thought we were REALLY enthusiastic. (Or, were too embarrassed to look )

OUTLAW: Clappers..... that's where the Old Light and the New Light must be coming from!! With all the clapping that the Dubs are doing, no wonder they keep wish-washing about everything!!!!

Plum: Sorry... big red X...

Xander: I remember doing that too!!! Dang fools we were! Thing is, instead of sitting with our parents, all the cong boys would sit together (just a few rows above all the girls of the cong) so we'd be even more than 6...

Do you remember racing to beat your friend at finding a verse in the Bible! LOL

I recall a few occasions where some of us younger ones would attempt to deliberately start unnecessary applause

Oh man!! Too funny! My Dad and I used to ALWAYS do this during the last talk of the assembly. We would just sit poised hands in front of us, and wait for a pause to start it going. Eventually that got too draining, and my mom got really pissed at us, so we would wait, and look at each other and point to the audience when we felt they would commence with the clappter. Sometimes we were wrong, but that was always our fun game of who would be right in gussing when the flock would clap.

Oh...there was no race. I was THERE...

Wow, what we did for fun. Yeah, I can just see me in high school

{interrupts a conversation a couple of jocks are having with a cheerleader}
Me: "I dunno about YOUR weekend - but THIS weekend...well, I don't want to BRAG, but I found scriptures in the bible the FASTEST in our ENTIRE congregation!" (smug expression)

Oh, yes. I was that cool.

instead of sitting with our parents, all the cong boys would sit together

A couple of the halls would do things like that - ours always had families sitting together - they emphasized it enough from the platform (the dangers of not knowing where your kids are - there ARE apostates at assemblies you know! They might abduct your kids and molest them!!)

See this used to really piss me off...the boys of our hall always got to sit next to each other, and at conventions got to roam wherever they wanted, but did the girls get this freedom HELL no! We were compared to little street walkers and couldn't be trusted to go and sit by each other. When I was 17 that was the first time I finally got to go sit by my bestfriend (she was 18) by ourselves. LAME!

But then again, I thought the boys always got away with murder in our congregation....

We are just as crazy in England. At Twickenham, after the final song and Prayer, we clap for ages and ages and ages, and then start waving our hands to say "hello" to the Spanish and/or the French brothers and sisters on the South Stand. And then we start doing Mexican waves. And then clapping again. And then waving again. Do these people want an encore from the guy giving the last talk?
