Your most memorable Kingdom Hall meeting disruptions!

I remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools. The schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the KH. They weren't just happened upon, though. I think they told some other teen that this is that they were going to do and that teen dropped a dime on them. The girl involved was the niece of the congregation's pioneer leading sister.

More recently, about three years ago, two sisters got into a fight because one was cheating with the other's husband. It was a real fight, too. Doors were broken off of the hinges at the literature counter. Hair flying everywhere.  They were all over the place.

I recall also when a young brother was disfellowshipped, as it was being read from the platform, his sister fainted out and fell out on the floor in a pretty noisy fashion. It held up the meeting as EMS had to be called.

Lastly was the angry brother that was in the process of being disfellowshipped. He was going with an elder's daughter. The brother was 24 and the daughter was 13. One night, during the TMS, he barged into the  KH screaming and yelling about how they (him and the 13 year old) could not be busted up. (He was eventually disfellowshipped, reinstated, and is now bucking for ministerial servant.)

Those were the ones that were most memorable. Of course I can think of many more

I must have been in some boring congregations, because in 20 years I've never seen a memorable meeting disruption.

Well a few have to do with people that had epileptic seizures, which of course is scary if you are a child.  One was of my mother's best friend, who she did her best to explain to me, but as a young girl I really didn't understand and I remember when she had one right next to me.  It stopped the meeting.

I remember a bee was in the Sunday meeting and then a few others, people were jumping about, little kids screaming.

I remember having a coughing fit that disrupted the entire service, I still remember that with a smile.

A fight breaking out between brothers in the back.  It was WWE smackdown.

One Sunday at the KH in Ormond, the C.O. Peter Lett was visiting, and while he was on stage, a bum came in and sat in the front row. The C.O. mentioned that his wife was from Germany, and as soon as he said that, the bum yelled out "SHE'S A KRAUT, SHE'S A KRAUT"! A few elders immediately got up and escorted the bum outside.

Another time, I was bending over in my seat to pick something up from the floor, and I accidently ripped a very loud one off. The speaker was in shock, kids were giggling, my Grandmother elbowed me, and a Brother the aisle over jolted upright, and said that it felt as if he got shot in the back. I was totally embarrased...

1) A sister busted into the bookstudy (it was in a private home so they left the door unlocked) and starting going off about one of the pioneers sisters sleeping with her husband.

2) Two sisters had a drag out fight at the special day assembly in the main hall over some seats. We could not believe it. They broke them up and then they starting going at it again. One sister cursed like a sailor during the fight. Of course, the CO came out on the platform and gave a few words.

3)A young brother who had the bible reading did not read it but he sang it. The brothers didn't stop him. The folks that were not paralyzed from shock excused themselves because they were laughing so hard.

4)A foreign doctor came to the sunday meeting and raised his hand and gave a comment at the meeting. He mentioned that he worked with underprivileged families and was looking for volunteers to help his cause. The brothers eventually took the mic from him and he quieted down for awhile. Then he just started talking..."Excuse me, Excuse me"...and started talking out loud. I don't remember exactly what he said.

5) A sister went into labor during the meeting.

6)Someone fainted during the CO's visit. It was during the summer and the AC was out.

7)A sister's skirt fell down while she was doing a field service demonstartion. She was wearing a slip. She ran off the stage. Her householder ran after her with her skirt.

8)There was all these girls going back and forth to the restroom and signaling each other in the meeting. Turns out there was young sister was in the restroom for most of the meeting and telling the other teenagers that Jehovah was not real and that they were wasting their life with the JWs. About half-way through the service meeting, there was a special annoucement that no one under 18 was allowed to go the restroom alone. The brothers then asked the girl's mother not to bring her to hall as her daughter obviously had a demon. 

That is some serious action easyrider!  One bro I played hoops with was EXTREMELY nervous giving his first public talk....fainted on stage, fell forward and took the speaker stand and mic almost into the front row.....

my wife pranced back from the bathroom with the back of her entire skirt shoved into pantyhose causing an elder to nearly tackle her half way to the front of the hall.  She had a playboy ass btw.

no gunfire anybody?  not even through a window?..................oompa

I have seen that before and it is quite embarassing.

I have also been told my ass is one of my best "ass"ets. LOL!

1- an elderly sister died in the bathroom

2-a mentally disturbed man marched up to the platform and was escorted out by two brothers

3-When I was 3 years old we attended a KH in a very old dilapitated building. My dad was the cong. servant (long time ago) and was giving a talk. A bat landed on my arm and I screamed. My dad left the stage, came over and spanked me and went back and continued his talk.

4- the telephone line that is pipped in for the infirm picked up a radio signal and during the public talk you could faintly hear a baseball game being broadcast

changeling

Fun stuff!

At my old hall, our sound system sometimes picked up incredibly strong Citizen's Band transmissions (remember those?)  "BREAKER BREAKER!!!"  It would definitely wake you up.

At the same hall, a traffic accident up the block.  Tires squealing, sound of impact.  Several of us went out to "help" before the police arrived....

I remember when one of the Elder's sons was given his first big public talk.....After about 10 minutes he turned pure white and fainted dead away on the stage......he came to pretty quickly but had to be escorted off the platform....someone else finished the talk.

The most hilarious episode was during a service meeting.....the fellow to give the next talk ran to the bathroom first, and then proceeded up the aisle from the back with about a 4 foot trail of toilet paper clinging to one of his shoes.  He got up onto the platform with it and one of the "microphone" guys pulled it off.

I don't think anyone heard a word he said.

The worst was my own dad.....I won't relay the story here.
