  Stop them! They're going after the Hall!!!!!

  each year on devil's night (oct. 30 for those who are unaware of it's title) and halloween, all of our area halls would gather a group of brothers, usually elders, and they'd take shifts in "guarding" the kingdumb hall, protecting jehovah's sacred place from evil youths bent on vandalising it.

  i can't see anyone vandalizing it as a target, except x-jw's but x-jw's would do it anytime of year, they don't need an occasion.

  well one year in my late teens, and on my way out, one of my friends had the brilliant idea to drive around to the local halls, and throw ziplock bag packets (like a water ballon) of egg yolk and whites (no shells because they hurt), flower and oil at the ones guarding the hall, not the hall itself.

  Kwin-

  I did guard duty at 3 different halls. What a flashback! Remember one in Everett, Mass. where we were talking about the "New Order" about 10 p.m. and a car drove by slowly and one brother said, "hey, they've been by here twice before." He moved toward the car and the kids chucked a few quart beer bottles at him, and boy oh boy was he frozen. They missed, split, and he was in field circus the next few weeks praising their bad aim. The next month he was running down another elder, forgot the bottle incident, and was wondering why one of the M.S. hadn't tended the literature counter the past 2 meetings. Oh yeah, every Mass. congo I knew would have guard duty.

  Have been to meetings and recommend any drinker go once, and see. Alcohol is a wicked drug! Available, cheap, acceptable, and very portable. Alcohol is my worst demon, has had me wasted on the floor, pouring sweats, seeing everything, including my life going by and wife walking out. Then there are the dryouts and 30 day fasts - HELL! I think these days of Jack Kerouac (my childhood mentor) and Jim Morrison, where he wrote in his poetry, "Lord, forgive us, for we know what we do." Kerouac, a "good Catholic" was unable to commit suicide, and in his later years justified his drinking in that manner, however slow it may be, in a shade of Zen.

  HappyDad - intense! Thank you.

  Corvin-

  Maybe dress up like Russell, fake beard, long coat, grubby tie, and hand out tracts (you write on fake yellowed paper) declaring the world to end in 1914.

  Talking about Da Judge, not Farkel, he's too busy arguing the Beasts' latest policies to sell Shakley or prayer cloths.

  I'd love to see the "Judge" on this board hawking new books and pamphlets, howling death and doom to "religion", and selling prayer clothes like Rev. Ike once did. I see the "Judge" defending the prayer cloth scheme - "Rev. Ike did it! And if you've see Rev. Ike, you've seen me." The "Judge" would probably post his farewell post a few times when the sales were down and threaten to have his body taken by God, "If you've seen Oral Roberts, you've seen me!" Yes, the "Judge" telling us about Berta and her lingerie on nights he boozed too often and too much.

  Stephanus-

  Wake up! It's still "the good ole days" in many parts of America, but masked by Madison Avenue marketing. A mace required strength and passion to swing, lot better than whispering murmurs of castrated advisers.
