Meeting After Meeting?

NikL

I went to the meeting today with the wife. Same boring talk and coma inducing wt study BUT...
After the meeting they called all of the attendants to the back room for a little private meeting. Anyone have any idea what was going on? Does this have to do with the special meeting coming up in October that we keep hearing about on this board?
Enquireing minds want to know.

Could be, but those sorts of meeting occur all the time at Kingdom Halls, depending on how active the elders get in nitpicky details. It could just be they were having problems and wanted to dress down the attendants.

omg, ENOUGH with the special meeting. attendants meet afterwards ALL the time. lets wait till we find out something for sure instead of trying to connect every single event even slightly out of the ordinary with the Oct 7 meeting.

Nikl,

We had a PO who called a meeting like that because the kids weren't flushing the toilet.

Sorry Mox,
Didn't mean to contribute to all the hysteria about the "special" meeting.
I have not been to the meeting for a while and I never remembered the attendants getting asked to meet ofter the meeting on a Sunday, especially from the platform. Usually they do this sort of thing after the service meeting.
It just seemed different than usual that's all.

Meetings after meetings may be 'sinister' enough.. but what about 'meetings during meetings', this used to happen in my old congregation.

The congregation would be sat listening to the Public Talk and down the centre aisle would come the PO, tapping this brother and that brother on the shoulder and they would all rise and go out the doors at the back of the hall for a little meeting. How disconcerting for the poor chap on the platform trying to conduct his talk! What is he supposed to think? Has he said something controversial in his talk and they have gone outside to decide what to do to him??

This always seemed so rude, disrespectful and thoughtless, why couldn't they wait until the end of the meeting, or at least during the song? Or do they think the Public Talk does not apply to them and they are allowed to leave half way through it?? Was their little meeting that important that it could not wait for another 30 minutes or so? Or did the PO do it just to make himself look important?

If it was a Sunday afternoon meeting they were probably going outside to check the football scores on their car radios
