You probably all had the talk on immorality, but we had one of our nice but robotic elders tell us in chapter and verse what immorality is. My young daughter is sitting next to me....this dude then says immorality includes fornication, sex between a man and woman outside of marriage, sex between a man and a man, sex between a woman and a woman, oral and a al sex, masturbation, bestiality, uncleanness which includes viewing pornography, where there is access to incest and rape pornography' He went on to list several others. I said to my Mrs after, that it was a little ott. She agreed that there was no need to go into such detail. Unbelievable! I wouldn't say anything like that to my daughter at home.....not for her ears. What a douche

In Australia to be "randy" means sexuality excited. One district convention the drama outline came straight from USA The main character was called "Randy". an american name? The name was mentioned often..... the young ones just just giggled all the way through............. the older ones where just mortified!

We had one bro who gave talks, but he was always reckoned to be a sandwich short of a picnic, and he frequently mis-emphasised certain words.

He gave a talk based on how Solomon had all his riches and 100's of wives and concubines, yet we had an even greater privilege in that we could go knocking on doors preaching.

What he actually said was: "Solomon had great riches and 100's of wives and concubines - what a privilege!"

Some of these are pretty damn funny to me on a saturday morning 😂

I'll add one:

at a district convention a guy (im refusing to use the term brother anymore, along with the desert gods name) is giving a talk attempting to praise all the women in organization and highlight that they have abilities and skills that can benefit the congregation because, you know, dubs have to actually be told this..... He builds to a creshendo in his best district convention 'im making a special point by being extra loud voice' and yells:

"BROTHERS! SISTERS ARE A RESOURCE! TAP THAT RESOURCE!!!! TAP IT!"

there was huge snicker from most of the 6,000 people in the audience (along with a few disapproving groans )

for those outside the greater metropolitan washington DC area who dont understand the reference, in this area "tapping" a woman is a very common slang reference to having sex with a woman...

A friend txt me almost immediately and said "first good thing I heard all day" 😂😂

back in the day--the congregation servant ( that was the title back then )----was a bit thick. he would refer to " paul's letter to matthew"---

anyway--

circuit servants visit coming up--and he read out a letter---referring to a meeting at the LINCOLN road group--several times.

but he kept pronouncing it LIN COLLON---till someone said--its lin CON brother---

to which re retorted--"well--some idiot has put an L in LIN COLLON "

but--seriously--he was a lovely old bro--real heart of gold--everyone loved him. pity he was a secret smoker

We heard of a speaker who wore a large cross around his neck during his introduction to mock the priests ....

Also one that used the most racist comments during a memorial talk! Yes, I won't even say what he said, and the context of it, except it had something to do with illustrating how ransoms could be paid to free someone ......

after the 1987 great storm which was the very worst England had ever seen the public speaker the following Sunday said; "haven't we be having some wonderful weather lately", bear in mind quite a few people were killed in this storm.

Doubtful.

For one thing, it's actually believable. :smirk:

Many years ago when we used the old si (Scriptures Inspired ) book, an elder was talking about about an ancient codex (manuscript) & he kept saying Kotex (woman's maxi pads). The audience was in an uproar & the brother had no idea that he was saying the wrong thing!
