  Best Service Meeting Item - ever !

  by BluesBrother in

  the listeners thread about service meetings got me to think, ok , so what was the best service meeting item you ever heard?

  we all know and remember the bad ones, but with all our collective years of seat warming on a thurs/fri night, there must have been some good ones.. i nominate the item a few years ago on the dangers of the internet.

  it made it sound so exciting that i went off down the public library to find out how to use this new invention - the rest is history ....

  I almost forgot...I was in the audience at a meeting, and the part was on..well, I can't remember exactly what it was on but it was something to do with preaching. The question in the first paragraph was, "Where do people turn for help?" Meaning "worldly" people, and the answer was supposed to be self-help books, therapists, and things of that nature.

  Well, there was this brother in the hall who was a little "off" and he did not have his KM with him that day. So the brother giving the part calls on him of course. And the "off" brother answered,

  "They engage in endless sexual activity."

  Silence from the crowd. Not just any kind of sex, but ENDLESS sex. Well, we know where his mind was!

  Did you meet any con artist types there?

  it seemed to me that there were a number of con artist types of personalities i came across during my years there.

  i am not referring to people who were actually doing anything illegal.

  what i am referring to are people who were very adept at getting things out of other people.

  There was this Bethelite who stole from us. He got kicked out of Bethel for stealing but we never got our stuff back.

  Brooklyn?

  on the "regis and kelly" show, they just said that the most popular name that people are calling their babies----is brooklyn!

  last i heard, it was "justin" and "emily" that were the most popular names of 2004, but they just read this from a survey!

  kinda surprised me.

  Brooke Lynn is pretty, and Brooklyn is kinda cute. Could be due to the fact that David and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham named their oldest son Brooklyn after the place where he was conceived. (Gross!)

  i didnt know what other word to use but nerdy,, but you will get the picture when i tell you a couple of my favorites.

  or maybe they are not so much "nerdy" as they are just off the beaten path singers,,maybe even a bit odd.

  I own every 'N Sync album except for the Christmas one.

  Aside from that, I do also like the Bee Gees and Barry Manilow.

  Annie is it this (I do love Tim McGraw):

  Don't Take The Girl--Tim McGraw

  Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
  when he was eight years old.
  a little girl came through the front gate
  holding a fishing pole
  his dad looked down and smiled
  said we can't leave her behind
  son I know you don't want her to go
  but someday you'll change your mind
  and Johnny said
  take Jimmy Johnson
  take Tommy Thompson
  take my best friend Bo-
  take anybody that you want as
  long as she don't go
  take any boy in the world
  daddy please- don't take the girl
  
  Same old boy
  same sweet girl
  ten years down the road
  he held her tight and kissed her lips
  in front of the picture show
  Stranger came and pulled a gun
  grabbed her by the arm
  said if you do what I tell you to do
  there won't be any harm
  and Johnny said
  take my money
  take my wallet
  take my credit cards
  here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
  here's the keys to my car
  mister give it a whirl
  but please-don't take the girl

  Same old boy
  same sweet girl
  five years down the road
  there's gonna be a little one
  and she says it's time to go
  docter says the baby's fine
  but you'll have to leave
  cause his momma's fading fast
  and Johnny hit his knees
  and there he prayed
  take the very breath you gave me
  take the heart from my chest
  I'll gladly take her place
  if you'll let me
  make this my last request
  take me out of this world
  God please-don't take the girl

  I USED to like ABBA until my co-worker played their Greatest Hits album repeatedly, hour after hour, day after day...

  I am probably the only 22-year old who knows all the words to "Voulez-Vous".

  "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. I know it's supposed to be a happy song, but her voice always seems to reflect her sadness, for me.
