In Reply to: Carey Barber lashes out! posted by Joey on October 27, 1999 at 20:27:43:
I remember when Carey Barber was a district overseer in the early 1950's. He was the dryest most boring speaker I've ever heard. I can't imagine him stirring up a bowl of oatmeal let alone a crowd of people.
Even though I was a young child I was disturbed at this man who was too shy to look at the audience and appeared to read every word.
One Circuit overseer told me that Barber used to memorize his talks. He would have a song book on the lectern and he would be paging through the song book while he would recite his speech.
He is a fine example of the "yes-man" compliant type that gets to the top of a slcerotic bureaucracy.
