...........

Meeting has started , everyone is participating but suddenly this brother handling the microphone saw his friend sleeping in the kingdom hall while the meeting is in progress .

So he wake him up , and within some minutes bros is fast asleep again . So the brother handling the Mic touch him and give him a paper , guess the content

" and do this because you know the season, that it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than at the time we became belivers" Romans 13:11. uh

, after the meeting the sleeping brother smiled and gave his friend handling the Mic a paper , guess the content .

" at the same time, they also learn to be unoccupied, ... Yes, not only unoccupied but also gossipers and meddlers in other peoples affairs" 1timothy 5:13

Both brothers burst into laughter ,

That day was so funny in that congregation.

I laughed hard when i was told this experience .

Very funny Brother. I have heard about the same incident long back, but the scriptures were different: 

(1 Thess. 5:6,   1 Thess. 4:11)

 

This time , new scriptures.   good.

I gave the same "sleeping" scripture to a "lady" at a convention. I did not know her, she was seated next to me.She was sleeping the whole time.

Her response was very embarrassing. She shouted at me. I was 18 by then, i did not know how to handle such situations.

I hate to say I use to get slightly irritated at ones who would constantly go to sleep.  I am talking about head tilted back, jaw to chest and a competitive snorer.  Now I realize from work how extensive sleep apnea has become and understand it to be almost a crisis level.  That sounds funny but when you think about poor sleep quality you can see that it is the bodies response to try and gain a much needed rest.  It starves itself of oxygen and you can never feel well rested.  If you see people doing this alot know that it is not just occurring at assemblies but at home, work, and even in their cars.  It is a dangerous medical condition.

 

Other times I believe everyone has experienced an occasion where they struggle to keep alert.  It is very embarrassing for them and the ones setting with them.  I just try and ignore it and hope they get a good nights sleep.

Years ago my wife and I used to watch a particular elder...

He'd be sleeping, then a question would lead to him putting up his hand to comment!
