During a service meeting on local needs an elder gets up to the podium and then someone turns off all the lights in the hall. He then pulls out a flashlight and begins to read his announcement. "If we don't receive enough donations this is how we will be conducting our meetings."
LOL Wiping coffee off of screen. Got to give that brother a G for effective use of illustrations/props. Mine. "Brothers and Sisters. The restaurant next door has granted us permission to use the parking spots adjacent to our small lot. In return, the owner asks that we show our appreciation by patronizing his business" 6 months later: "Brothers and Sister. The restaurant next door has asked us NOT to park in their lot any more unless we are there to eat at their restaurant" Word was the restaurant wasn't seeing any increase in business from JWs, and we were parking throughout the whole lot, not just the places indicated, making it difficult for the regular patrons to find spaces. I recall the general consensus after the meeting was "Hurumph! We'll show them, we'll never eat there again" Still laughing over the flashlight incident.
