Centipedes vs Tarantulas.....Round One

3-19-09
Ah. feels good to go to a real meeting again. Tonight was the first meeting for quite some time, due originally to rain, and this past week because of our special one asamblea. This was a exciting assembly for me, as this was the first spanish assembly that I could understand. not all of course, but it was nice. There was one part I liked especially, There was a part on the young people, and there was a girl, maybe 10 or so, when asked what her favorite party of the ministry was, she was quick to answer she very much likes to explain to those in the field that there is a difference between Jehovah God and Jesus. essentially this 10 year likes to go out in the ministry and slam the trinity. I mean, just destroy it. Awesome stuff.

So our literature counter is pretty rockin. It consists of very little. in fact, there isn't even a counter. but we do have an old amour( If that's how you spell those silly french words)with a few draws (ones missing). Inside this cabinet live a variety of animals The termites, steadily eating away at everything in sight. Including the literature. Every week or so, you have to go into it dust of all the chewed up book dust that the make as the tunnel through the word of god. Needless to say a good portion of our placements have un or two tiny little holes drilled through them, scarcely bigger then a period. Its very odd.
The other Kingdom hall live ins are the spiders. There not tarantulas, but just really, really big black bodied, long legged spiders. Probably from the longest point to point the width of a woman's hand(the biggest ones at least. Were debating whether or not to start counting them in the meeting attendance numbers. If we do though, it would be great. the was a big mama watching the meeting just above the speakers head at this past meeting. I don't know if you've every seen any of spider shows on animal planet or something like that, but many spiders ride on the backs of the mama spider for a while. these do this to. and for that, If we start counting them, it looks like we'll have enough to split congregations. These suckers are fast too. Really fast. they are hard to catch. And smart. they always seem to know when you have mal-intent. Although, I will say its not uncommon to hand a book to someone after a meeting or something, and you notice a smooched carcass fall out. No match for the oblivious literature servant it seems.
Any ways. Think of this next time you go to bed.

Oh if you get a chance, and want to be exceptionally freaked out, search Google for "centipede vs mouse". "centipede vs tarantula" is pretty interesting too, taken from some old nature show.

Yeah, spiders don't have nothing on giving me the creeps compared to centipedes. although the dinner plate sized tarantulas the find in Mexico are right up there.... Sleep tight.

  1. Yikes, I hate spiders! Thanks for putting those wonderful images in my mind! Glad you're back to the KH.
    PS I hear that spiders like to nest in mustaches at night!
