ok.ok.ok. couldn't stand it anymore.
1. An 80 yr old. ms brother was our WT reader occasionally. He ate it up - closest he could come to giving a talk.
We had a study on watching what type of music we listened to. He commented that when he was younger, he almost had an auto accident because the radio played Johnnie Mathis and he wouldn't listen to him, even though he sang well. While trying to turn the station, ran off the road. We chuckled, and he sat down (he was doing the reading that day.) Brother asked next question, and Bro. Wilson waved his hand so that he could not be ignored. Standing, he said that he wouldn't listen to any singer who was living an immoral life, etc. Conductor thanked him, he sat down again.
Conductor asked part B, and brother Wilson jumped up, yelled into the microphone, hands waving with exasperation "because he was a homosexual!!!" Everyone laughed, including the red faced conductor. No easy task considering he's black.
Bro. Wilson used to be the life of the party when out in field service. He had bladder problems - thus, when he had to relieve himself, any bush was fair game. He was relieving himself in a householder's front lawn when he got tangled and fell into the wet bushes. A couple of young brothers had to help him up and try not to look as he zipped up. Much giggling that day.
Oh! for an elder's gem -
During the book study, an elder commented that people today were so low class and gross that they even had sex with chickens. A sister nearby (weighing in at 275 lbs) was trying to be serious. She had boobs on her that were huge. She was sitting quietly, and all I could see out of the corner of my eye was her boobs jumping up and down as she stifled her giggles. Which made me giggle.....and it continued until our whole row was giggling out of control.
A couple of weeks ago at a funeral, an elder told the entire audience that Eve was cloned from Adam by God.
