Well yes, I and a number of friends of mine did help Dr Kennedy open his first ‘house of worship’ way way back, I’d say around 11967 or 68.
We remodeled and transformed the old firehouse on commercial blvd, (if you lived in the area as long as you say .. you’ll know the place) into his first group meeting area.
It was myself and friends of mine who came over from The House of Ichthus to lend a hand.

The House of Ichthus was a converted funeral home on Wilton Drive in Wilton Manors and a place for the kids, (and dopers) to hang out and Maybe find Christ, back in the sixties.

I don’t consider the new cathedral that Dr Kennedy built on Federal Hwy as just a ‘lowly’ drywalled barn .. Do you?

Yes, I knew Dr Kennedy and it would appear .. Long before you did.
So What?

It is possible that 11967 may prove to be a significant year for someone some day.

You were a hired paperhanger, carpenter, plumber, or drywaller, perhaps, not one who claims to have ever been a parishioner. By the way, I don't believe I ever claimed I lived "in the area," but it's pretty clear you're playing kinda loose with facts, and feigning false familiarities here already. I'll let that just speak for itself.

OK, so what you're saying is that you were in rehab. As Seinfeld would say, "Not that there's anything wrong with that...."

The difference it appears is that I actually knew Dr. Kennedy for 35 years and about the most you've said so far is that you and a few other contemporary chums did some remodeling for him a few years before that. Yeah, on that note I guess you could say, "so what?"

Of course, the way I figure it is, if you were any good at the first job he would have called you back to help build the other building. But then again maybe what I've just exposed is the primary source of your JW-driven envy.

Might want to give your favorite local "kingdom hall" a drywall call if you're looking for some work.

You won't need a work reference from Dr. Kennedy. They probably know you pretty well over there at "kingdom hall" already.
