Power blackout during the meeting tonight!

It was so funny!

The small rented hall our congregation uses had a blackout. We think there was some construction work next door that caused it.

At least the glow of everyone's tablets and cell phones kept the place illuminated!

I always got amused at the way blackouts were handled..

like it was SO amazing that everyone could stay calm and get through it. They even compared to to practicing for persecution LOL

No one screamed "GREAT TRIBULATION" and ran off to read the bible in the basement?

Maybe they didn't have enough $ in the coffer to pay the electric bill.

Lol. Is that an issue there? We have it almost every thursday due to power rationing here in the dark continent. So we're better prepared for the blackouts that the meeting parts. ;D

Make's it hard to read irrelevant material though!

Hahahahahaha! Can you imagine the elders trying to figure out how to deal with that situation? Lol

We had a local resident inconsiderately park their car outside our kingdom hall gates, bearing in mind the hall is in a residential street where no one has a driveway, so they all have to park in the street and it gets busy.

Inside the hall the old sisters were going around proclaiming 'persecution' and hatred for God's people.

I explained that it's never happened before in over 40 years, so that person probably just made a mistake.

Fear is ever present with them.

I hope they get one at a big boasting session, where the emergency backup lighting system craps out. It should be pitch dark in there, with only the light of my Fenix LD22 flashlight (on low, since I do not want anyone else using it) working. Of course, if I am not there, that is going to do them no good--who else among them is smart enough to buy one of those flashlights and carry it in case of a blackout?

Obviously, I do not recommend letting the hounders handle your flashlight. You bought it, you use it. If it becomes necessary to evacuate, once you are out of the auditorium, you are no longer morally obligated to help. You are no longer in the way. Of course, if you don't go at all, it will be that much less crowded. And the real guilty party is whoever cheaped out on getting cheap crap for an emergency light system.

All convention attendants in the UK have to carry a torch as part of their mandated equipment.
