My Favourite Assembly Drama (page 2)

hahahahaha the Celt chorkles, dramas oh my giddy aunt, 'Randyyyyyy', oh my oh my oh my. They really were the worst bunch of actors possible, the hugely sweeping gestures and the music, hysterical really, the facial make up and that other gesture, the one when the bearded fellow strokes his chin thoughtfully whilst she beats her breast in great lamentation like a professional wailer. Rehearsals at the KH too, good grief, if tv producers got any old video of this/these so called productions, they'd crease up and piss themselves from laughter. And it was all taken sooooooo seriously. Excellent memories Mike!!

The only real memorable one was in 1988 (I believe), the one with Lot's Wife turning into a pillar of salt. I still can't figure out how the hell they did that!

I remember that one, my hall done the drama that year and my dad was in charge of all the props. Lots wife had a huge headdress on, and when she shook it the sheets that were hidden in it came loose, and the weights that were hidden in the sheets pulled it down around her to make it look like she turned to salt. I think my parents still have the tape from the video camera for that one..........

Early 1980's... Beware of Rebellious Talk.

It was about the evils of not sticking with Jehover's Organization (warning against apostacy)... in the bible story, everyone who did not stick with Jehover's Organization was swallowed up and killed in a giant earthquake and fire from the sky.

Because I was part of a prominent JW family I got to be in the drama and was assigned to be one of the kids who survived because I chose to stick with Jehover's Organization.

The funniest drama I saw featured thirsty Israelites wandering around in the wilderness begging for water. Being a typically English convention, it was absolutely pouring down with rain. Oh well, the show must go on.

Back on E-man's topic, I remember watching a drama in 1971 performed in Victoria, Australia. It may have been an evening session, but I do remember it featured a modern-day couple dating. They apparently, in the drama, were alone in a car and fondled each others private parts. Being only 11 and totally naive I couldn't figure why they were touching each others bums (butts). Anyhow, in the follow-up comments about the drama the girl confessed to the elders (or equivalent in 1971) and was reproved, the guy didn't fess-up and was disfellowshipped. I made sure from that time onwards to steer clear of girl's bottoms.

E-man,

Those prerecorded dramas sounded very lame and amusing to Americans, too.

I recall seeing a drama in Macon, Georgia where a girl had super exaggerated motions and gestures. She was hopping all over the stage. It was so funny that everyone was commenting on it and giggling all around us.

Thirdson,

I made sure from that time onwards to steer clear of girl's bottoms.

My favorite was a Yankee Stadium assembly, in 1969.

Just before the afternoon session started, there was a lightning strike...so close that we could all feel the heat of the bolt on our faces.

Within the next minute, the speaker said: "Brothers, we will now begin the session."

God had spoken; we listened, and watched.
