Thank you for your history. Do you see any possibility of contact with your JW children? Do you write to them or is it all too painful?

Instructor:
"Welcome to the "thrilling" new Kingdom Evangelizers School!"
"This new and exciting school shows how the glorious chariot is moving forward at an ever increasing pace in these critical times! We now warmly welcome all you single sisters joining us for the first time!"
"Will all the single sisters please leave by the door to my right and assist in the kitchen as we will need lunch in about three hours, thank you."
"Married sisters are of course sanctified by their husbands and can stay in and listen quietly until this afternoon when they can join the single sisters on cleaning duties."

Most entertaining platform misdeed.
by Slidin Fast inmany years ago before assembly halls we used to hire large halls for circuit assemblies.
the public talk, always after lunch on the sunday was always the big (though boring) event.
the chairman sat on the stage all the time whilst the speaker for the hour long talk droned on.

District Convention in Cardiff UK in the 1980's.
During the sessons one of the assistants on the sound team bicycles out of the "tunnel" onto the running track in full view of ten thousand JWs, goes to a loudspeaker, dismounts and adjusts something - gets back on his bicycle and goes back!

God; I wish the Watchtower would crumble more quickly!
I draw comfort from the fact (I hope) that they are tightening the grip because they must be seeing people ignore them.

Not a nutjob but a funny situation.
In the 1980's a blind guy in our area becomes a witness - nice "normal" chap, holds down a job and paid his way - and brings his guide dog (officially provided dog in the UK to help him get about). So he always sat at the front of the hall so there was space for his dog to lie at his feet.
Anyway this professionally trained dog which is so good and obedient just lay there and occasionally yawned (didn't we all?) or breathed heavily.
Circuit Overseer turns up and halfway through one of the evening talks the dog lets out this massive loud fart which went on for several seconds and the blind brother pipes up "Sorry brother, that's never happened before!"
The CO doesn't miss a beat and says "Oh it was the dog was it? - I thought it was Bro. _______ , your Presiding Overseer!"
Everyone in the hall collapsed laughing.
