Yes I remember that wild Lord's table.
Saints brought bongos and cymbals and Congo drums. The meetings were rockin.
This Lord's table started the normal way. With a table in the center of the meeting where bread and wine was placed.
Before it got started, a brother jumped up and said something like, "We're not religious," and went up and turned the table upside down, and put the bread and wine on it.
And songs were called, and with all the instruments the place started rockin.
I remember it got so carried away that we all formed a train line, and were praising the Lord in dance. I remember the bread and wine being passed around during the dance, down the train line. I remember seeing John Ingalls with a pitcher of wine, and because of the dancing the wine was sloshing around out of the pitcher. And saints were drinking right out of the pitcher.
It was a great time.
But when report went back to Witness Lee, he put the kibosh on it all, and ordered the bongos, cymbals, and Congo drums out of the meetings. It was such a letdown.
I remember after that, standing outside the meetings, on a balcony, with great disappointment thinking : why can't we enjoy the Lord in song and dance? What was so bad about it?
Witness Lee could be theatrical, but we couldn't....
