Hackensack East Comedy Hour-$8@the door

The MYTH
The Legend......
To 99.9% of you ezabelers, the name Brian Mcknight brings to mind nothing more than an out of work R&B singer...But..To those who belong to, or have visted the Hackensack East congregation, and have witnessed the unmatched, off topic, HILARIOUS, and always inappropriate discourse stylings of our Brother Brian McKnight, that name takes on a WHOLE LOT MORE meaning....There are no words to describe this brother...Until you've experienced it, you have NOT LIVED...His talks consist of street slang - off the wall, off the TOPIC tangents, brutally honest statements about comments made during his talks(i.e. "you wanna try that again?"..or "hmm..close enough"..), and even physical humor - such as jumping back abruptly, and practically LEAPING over the podium when he points to somebody for a comment...I'm telling you, we should serioulsy make an ezabel event out of it - the next time he has one or more talks during a thursday meeting, you all have to come and witness the madness, it's CRAZY...Remember that part we just had on proper assembly attire?..Well..He gave it at our hall..and, he opens up with an "illustration"....that went like this
"So, yeah, a brother's getting counseled at his house by some elders, and his tight dress-wearing girlfriend walks in,and now, this dress is extremely close to the skin, and, very very high..So, one of the elders says to her "BOYYYY, I haven't seen THAAAT dress at the meeeting!!!"...and, then, with NO SEGUE AT ALL, he jumps right into the talk......It also consisted of him basically just saying whatever came to mind, such as his satement about how, at his job (lol, this is sooo funny), there is this girl who always wears tight mini skirts, and he says "yeah, so i said to her one day,'If you gain ONE MORE POUND, you're going to POP outa that dress!"..and then follows that up with "yeah, i usually speak my mind at work, they all know me well enough to understand"...he also talked about a sister who, as he quoted, said to a young married girl wearing a tight dress "Girl, you dress like you aint even GOT a man!"..yeah, he actually said all this...and..that's just the tip of the iceberg, each talk is crazy in it's own way....he basically feeds off the audience, if he gets ONE giggle from us, he just goes nuts and starts freestylin...so, yeah, come one, come all...next thursday..it should be pretty entertaining

speaking of slang. We have this wack elder in our hall and he couldnt think of any positive words to say about this guys bible reading so he was like "Oh and you also did a good job and didn't use any slang." How on earth is someone gonna use slang in a bible reading?
HAHAHA MAN I need more brothers in my hall like that to go off and not be such a bunch of straight edge sticks.
haah o man... he is so crazy.. the best was when he goes "now i'm looking in the auidence and every one is dressed very nicely.... altho maybe if you weren't, i wouldn't say any thing from up here..."
my favorite Brian McKnight quote is when i was about 14 and brought two of my friends to the meeting. he proceeded to walk up to them, and goes to shake their hands and says "hi i'm Brian McKnight- NOT the singer" i almost died...
or how about when he was trying to prove to my little sister her boots were not appropriate for service and he pushed her off the curb and she fell and she goes "SEE! you can't wear those, they make you fall"
o bolly
yeah, he's amazing....haha..nobody on earth like this guy...
i remember one time i was in service with him, and he proceeded to start talking about how, back in the day "ganstas" used to hold their guns right side up, but nowadays, they hold'm sideways cause it looks cooler...and, he proceeded to mimic a gun being held sideways w/his hand, pointing it directly at the door, WHOOPS, here comes the householder...she shut it back right away thinking there was a guy w/a gun at her door...he then knocks a whole buncha times on the door & yells "hey, hey i was just kidding, you want a magazine?!?!?"....she never came to the door...he then grabs my arm, and pushes me to his car, and we drive away, a half hour before finishing our assignment..he says"sorry, i didnt mean to hurt ya or anything, but she mighta called the cops or something.."..this guy, is nuts
hahahahahahaha. this one had me crackin up.
i saw him while i was driving by your hall this morning and he gave me the stare down and then his tilted head smile. he really is great! he is one brother who has always taken an interest in the youth in the congregation. remember all the times we went bowling? he also had karaoke parties and took kids to the beach. in short...maybe brian mcknight is my idol. especially the fact that he still rocks lacoste shirts and makes the best fried chicken you will ever eat in your life (bc i think he stole the recipe from roy rogers)
sounds like a cool brother i wish we had more fun brothers in our hall i also wish my hall had more single older friends that did stuff together but no my hall as alot of couples with kids and elderly in my hall , i do enjoy the friends in my congregation dont get me wrong i just wish there where more my age and single
well, see - here's the thing...he's VERY entertaining, i feel like i'm watching a sketch comedy show when he's on stage...but, his delivery always distracts from the point of the talk, and the other elders get SOOO mad at him, it's hilarious...one time they let'm give a sunday discourse..O MY GOD, i've never witnessed anything crazier in my life...the outline was supposed to be about cleanliness...he ended up talking about childhood experiences that had nothing to do w/cleanliness at all...all extremely funny..but..nothing to do w/the talk...i was doing the sound that day, and, there's a monitor for the entrance camera back there - the second he started going off, all 8 elders got up and went to the back, i could see them in the monitor throwing their hands up and looking all annoyed..haha...
wow guess the elders dont let him give sunday talks anymore or did they just council him on what is appropiate.
they just counseled him. i think he really doesn't understand that he maybe is just too abrupt for most people. and he has a really severe problem with his hearing so he doesn't even "get" peoples reactions.
o man i remember that... good times good times
id love to come visit thursday night but thats our bookstuday if he gives a sunday talk again let me know id love to visit and watch
LOL i definitely wanna see him conduct a WT study
i think most halls have a brother like that. we have Big Bill Jackson. completely insane.
either this brother is obsessed with girls in tight dresses, or those are the only portions of his talks that you remember... for some reason.
yea i dont think it's the first bit cus it's not like he talks about it all the time or anything
no he definately mentioned it a lot during this talk cause we laughed everytime he got on the topic so he kept going back to it...he thrives off of the audience's reaction to him so whatever we laugh at he just MILKS..and then he gets counsled..and calms down for like 2 weeks..and then the cycle starts all over....it's so funny...
there used to be a brother in our hall (not surprisingly he left the truth a while ago) but he would always give off the wall talks like that-but i don't think he meant it to be funny. but we would always crack up whenever we would hear the themes he made up like "Game Time" and "Stone Cold Reality" and they really had nothing to do with the talk as far as we could tell.
we had a brother like that in our hall too. he was so annoying that we couldn't help but laugh. he would give his talks and totally give them from his point of view. He was always getting counseled till finally we got a new PO and they removed him and now that bro is out of the truth
