I know, it's all pointless.
Just one example:-
Sheffield 1980s I think. There was a grassy area that needed mowing to put a collapsible baptismal pool on I think. There was no mower so they gave a bunch of sisters a pair of scissors each and they went on their knees and snipped away.
Only in Jehovah's Organisation!
Any more?
God must be with them if they mowed the lawn with scissors, right?
No one else on earth would be able to accomplish such a feat!
I would have been one of those sisters! 😅
Any time any one has sent any one else out to do preaching work surely...
I had announcements one night. I made the announcement that we were having a going-away party for some old friends at the Kingdom Hall on Saturday afternoon. I pulled a weed from my suit coat and held it up. Basically, it was a weed pulling from our parking lot. Shockingly, half the congregation showed up.
tbk What happened to humour on the platform? Great story.
I was a teenager back in the seventies and an attendant at the convention
During the sessions all attendants were told to spread out and face the
audience during Glen Howe(famed JW lawyer)'s talk
This was to intimidate the man who had called in a threat on Howe's life,
Now my (silent) question as a teenager was: How were a bunch of
unarmed men (and boys) supposed to intimidate a man with a high
powered weapon?
Well, I suppose we were armed with the resurrection hope lol
