    I have got relatives who were at the Kingdom Hall on the morning when LittleToe gave his departing talk. There were elements of high drama that you can't make out just from the audio. Such as the fact that the presiding overseer was sitting in the front row (of a very tiny Kingdom Hall, so literally one meter away from LittleToe as he gave the talk). The presiding overseer was perched in indecision through the last few minutes of the talk, wavering about whether he should try to stop LittleToe from speaking or remove him from the platform by force. In the end he just sat there and did nothing. Everyone was pretty shocked and no one saw it coming. (Although you always get those who are wise in hindsight of course) He said goodbye to the children in the congregation during his closing comments, which must have been emotional because he was well known for getting along with young ones. There are more details I could mention but I don't want to be prurient. Let's just say it was pretty dramatic, even more dramatic than it sounds.

    One of many of the 'best of' threads here.

    Little Toe did it his way. He's out living his life happy and free now to boot - even better. :D
