So close your eyes and tell me.......

[patriotic]

I see dead people everywhere.

In the mezzanine they're just sleeping. Low oxygen level and heat work like magic.

Are you saying we were drugged!!

Well because of no ventilation or air flow in the mezzanine the occupants were in effect self drugging on exhausted gases. That many people in an area not suitable for people leaves oxygen levels very low so it's hard to stay alert or awake. The mezzanine was a self defeating seating area. Those that sat there would have been better off staying home. Did I mention all the hair lost in the ceiling tiles?

Thank only time I slept while seated in the mezzanine was when I voluntarily sat / lay there during a Spectacular when I had bronchitis. That was one of many times I loved my long, puffy, down-filled coat. It made such a comfortable sleeping bag.



Until the clappy-happy PCC segmrnt.

Did you expect anything else?

 

[fishinnut]

JH missing most of the song service because of reading all the announcement & notes let on the pulpit before the evening service.

 

[fishinnut]

All those staff men who had to sit on the platform who never got to sit with their wife & kids. :-[

 

[bgwilkinson]

Don't forget and talking over his shoulder to JN who sat directly behind him while his wife provided a fixed continuous glare. Why he insisted on talking to JN in front of the whole church always seemed most presumptuous.

 

[fishinnut]

I remember a superbowl/Sunday night service around 1980 when someone put a small TV in the pulpit.

 

[fishinnut]

One semester I was on a 2 or 3 man parking team across the street from the side of the building in the department store lot before the evening services. I wore a snowmobile suit & boots. It would take the 1st half of the service for my feet to thawout.

 

[bgwilkinson]

Do you remember driving limo for Bro. Colsten's airport drivers?

 

[bgwilkinson]

..of all the times the sewer would overflow in the educational building resulting in 5 or 6 inches of sewage in the fellowship hall and the Adams chapel?

 

[fishinnut]

I moved to the area months before starting college & attended the HACker graduation service at FBCH & heard Jerry Falwell preach.

Oh my, how can that be?

 

[prophet]

I see gold glittering.

Have you met the lady, who's sure that's all that glitters?

I tried to explain this in the other threads, that he and Falwell were very good friends.
I don't think anyone besides those of us who were there for years believes it.

Yes of course, Bro. Hyles associated with many men of many denominations in the 50s 60s and 70s, he was at that time more in the mold of the original fundamentalists of the early 20th century. He sure was not a hyper-separatist religiously speaking. We're talking Methodists, Presbyterians, Christian Missionary Alliance, Salvation Army, etc. I'm sure I forgot several more.

He change dramatically after John Rice died.

Much of it was because he was trying to regain his old mojo. He had to have an enemy to fight.
The multiple sex scandals of the 80s and 90s were taking a tremendous toll on the college and the conference attendances. There was a time at Pastors' School when no one from the college or church was allow to attend because the delegates filled the auditorium. In the late 80s and 90s that all changed, all church members were encouraged to attend to hide the huge fall off in attendance.

...about the security guard that shot himself in the leg one night in Hammond and claimed an attacker shot him. Often wondered what happened to him.

 

[bgwilkinson]

...who it was that used his firearm to accidentally blow a big hold in the dashboard of the squad car he was driving.

 

[bgwilkinson]

...who it was that used the maintenance tunnels under the south hallway for watching the submarine races. Did he ever get caught?

Wasn't some of that due to bus kids stuffing TP rolls in the toilets & then flushing?

Yes it would be caused by the bus kids, but also when rain water was to great for the storm sewers, that was the worst.
