    … Y’all never had that happen?

    “The Lord has other plans for the service today, so we’re going to continue in this state of worship.”

      I grew up JW, and their meetings were very structured and organized. They do sometimes show videos and such, but a congregation is organized around not one pastor or anything but a whole group of them, any of who could do the main Sunday surmon (and I have seen subs often enough). They also have “ministerial servants” who are I guess basically elders(pastors I guess?) in training, and they often handled a lot of stuff too.
