Past history,
An incident at my first congregation (Stalag 17). An elder from the platform, obviously trying to encourage the masses, spoke about the brothers in Beirut, dodging the bullets to get to the group meeting and how we should be zealous, like these ones, in going to the meetings.
A few weeks later we had a very bad bout of snow, I decided it was too dangerous to venture out.
This elder had to keep to his word and went. He fell down the stairs outside the hall and broke his arm. !!!
