Looooong Prayers! (page 3)

heheheh. What do you mean the parade of ethnic brothers at the concluding song? You struck a chord there with me, but I can't put my finger on exactly what it is. Seems I remember, vaguely, something about this.

When I was a kid, we had our conventions at the race track.....

In my head I can still hear the prays echoing down the halls.

Our, our, our, heavenly, heaveny, heavenly, father, father, father, Jehovah,

Jehovah, Jehovah....................

Got the Looooong prayers over and over and over............

Doubtfully Yours

There's a brother in the hall that whenever they send him to make the prayer, if I happen to have heels on I take them off because it'll be that long!!!

Blondie, LOL

Were you one of the young ladies that "caught my eye" as I walked the concourse past the oleanders?? (of the "then pubescent" class)

And yes, it was Knorr who gave that ~~speech~~ prayer. But I also saw a teenager go up to the stage and ask Freddie for an autograph on a new release...I remember how embarrassed I felt for that young fellow, when F almost slammed him off the platform.

I doubt it. I was not a troller then or later. I wasn't allowed to walk the concourse. I remember the sawhorses and the pipes with bubbling water because there weren't enough water fountains and it was sooooooooo hot during the day (and sooooo cold at night). We took 2 days and went sight seeing missing the "food" that day.

So it was Knorr; Franz had a squeaky voice. As I said we had left the building and we on our way home.

LOL ? this has brought back so many memories!!!

I remember ?? and this is really embarrassing ???..

I was about 9 years old and we were at the district assembly. I was at the age where my mum thought that I could control my bladder in time with the breaks ? a mistake any witness mum could make! It was final prayer time and the elder was making a real meal of it. It went on and on and on.

So as I danced about pleading to go to the toilet she kept saying sh sh you can go in a minute - well my bladder had other ideas and I pee?d myself - realising what was happening she felt terrible and let me go ? I kept trying to hold on to it but I pee?d all the way to the toilet ? had no idea your bladder could hold that much!!!

I left a nice wet trail all the way behind me!

I never had to stand through another long prayer again ? I just asked for the toilet and I got freedom right away!

I think the wee scots lass might be talking about Bro Owler who's final prayer of the assembly went on for ages, it was shocking. I mean how many things was the guy thankful for and not onlt that he recapped on every talk that had taken place over the past 31/2 days as we say up here, "murder polis"

Did anyone have a bro say at the end "and from the heart of our bottoms" instead of "bottom of our hearts" we did man what a laugh that was.
