I remember a brother saying "living orgasms", instead of living organisms.
I also, remember a few brothers tripping while going up onto the stage. The stage was about a normal "steps" height, but the whole floor was carpeted all the way up to, and over the stage. There was NO distinction, it was all carpeted, and the carpet was this HORRIBLE, ugly VERY BUSY, pattern. So, a lot of visiting brothers, if they werent used to the step up, would trip up onto the stage. I remember, one younger brother, actually tripping up onto the stage, and knocking into the microphone. It proceeded to fall, with a loud AMPLIFIED "BAAAAANG", and broke. So now, the brother had to stand there, like some schlep, while another brother got a replacement microphone, and holder. He was probably standing up there, awkwardly, for like 5 mins, before it was re-set-up, lol.
A lot of times, the brother adjusting the height of the mic, for the next bros talk, didnt have enough strength to loosen the microphone stand, and another STRONGER brother, would embarrasingly push him aside to looosen the mic, lol.
I also remember, a very old, and nearly blind, FRED FRANZ, giving the public talk. My Dad, who was one of the "top elders", of the time, was in charge of getting him "set up" and "ready". Being that he was almost blind, he needed help up that, infamous stage. He also, couldnt see the clock, so he had no concept of "time". He, instead, asked my father to come up on the stage and sit in the empty chair, when he was a half hour into the public talk. This way, since Bro Franz, couldnt see the time, he COULD see that someone sat in the chair on the stage, and then he knew it was a half hour IN, and he had 15 minutes LEFT. Well there was an empty chair on either side of the speaker, my father at a half hour went up and sat on the chair to his left. Well Franz looked to the chair on his right, and in the middle of his talk, he says "WHERE ARE YA", then he looks at the other chair and says "OH THERE YA ARE". He then proceeded for another 15 to 20 minutes, without skipping a beat, and probably if my father didnt go up, he would have just kept on, rambling on, without knowing what time it was, or how long he was up there, lol.
