Hello folks. Mr. Flipper here. Weird subject I know but interesting. In a couple of congregations I went to there were a couple people who had epilepsy, bless their souls, and had seizures at meetings, poor folks, not knowing what to do other than deal with it, screaming as they do and biting their tongues. One nice, cool elder handled it dignified during his public talk and said," Well sister so and so won't have to go through that in the paradise anymore." One time I had an experience on an assembly part, 1983, several of us were sitting on the stage, waiting to go up to the microphone to do our bit. A 83 year old sister was up at the mic. before me ,giving her part. I noticed she was shaking as she gripped the mic. tightly. Then after she sat down , and before the brother could call me up to do my part, this sister passed out right on my shoulder. I looked at her and her eyes were in the back of her head. She had a massive heart attack, and had died right on my shoulder. I tried tapping her on the back, but she was gone. So, while the crowd of 2000 sat there gasping, I motioned over to another brother sitting down a few chairs from me to help me carry her off the stage. Which by the way, under the circumstances was no easy task, she was about 5'8, 180 to 200lbs. So, I got under one of her shoulders, the other brother under another shoulder and we laid her out behind the curtain. The brother yanked her false teeth out, they came flying up into my face and he started giving her mouth to mouth recussitation. Firemen came rushing from the audience behind the curtain, but finally a registered nurse from my cong. got the sisters heart going finally after 5 minutes. But she was brain dead, and after 2 weeks on life support the family decided to take her off, no point. But that was one circumstance I'll never forget as long as I live.Remember it just like yesterday. What about you folks, any interesting things happen over the years that you saw with peoples health at meetings or fatalities or scary, weird things happen. Please share. Thanks, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

One elderly sister died in the KH bathroom years ago.

I'm sorry, flipper, but this appears as voyeurism.
Please have some compassion for those who might be sufferers and reading this.

I think a lot of people have experienced seeing someone die, but not necessarily at the KH.
I was with my Dad when he died. I also witnessed the death of a good friend who was dying, too. Kind of a wake-up call.
