Intentional Comedy at the Service Meeting

Last night we had our midweek meeting, and it was Comedy Gold on stage!

So cool how the branch had actually written a comedy routine in the KM:


Chan and Joy did a fantastic job in performing the demonstration of how to do some bad “teaching”.

Those who had pre-studied and expected this were laughing audibly.  The ones who were taken by surprise thought that Chan had “lost it”.

At first I thought I’d never seen that before, where the KM said to do a demonstration of a negative example.

Then I remembered years ago they wanted the brother to be up there and not be able to find the literature he’d just offered because his bookbag was so disorganized.  Bob Bee was up there for like 5 minutes rifling through his case, papers dropping on the floor, and the audience uttering mildly hysterical laughter.

Last night the point was clearly made:  keep it simple.  Don’t talk too much.  Don’t bring in other points, no matter how interesting, because they’ll obscure the simple point that you want to make.
