Lets put it at 3 meetings a week.
My record is about 12 meetings in a row without missing.
Normally, I'd miss 1 meeting per 2 weeks, in my best days.

Unfortuneatly, too many to count!
Q
I attended every meeting from april 1990 until sometime in march 1992. That isn't completely true as I missed a few meetings in my hall when I went to quick builds and to work on the denton assembly hall, but if you don't count those times since I was "furthering kingdom interests," then around two years.
I went to every meeting from 1966 to 2005 unless I was sick or traveling, or working on a KH Project.
Probably missed some, but, a very few meetings a year for any other reasons.
The stupidest meeting I ever went to was the day after my wedding, my brand new wife and I went to the Sunday meeting in Eldorado, Arkansas, on our HONEYMOON.
I dare anyone else to admit to anything stupider!!!
I was a borgite.

When I was living at home with my parents I probably made 3 out of 3, ....Thursday, Tuesday in our home, and Sundays for many months in a row. We could never miss a meeting unless some one was puking. When I was in highschool I was sometimes able to skip Thursdays (a test to study for) When I was finally free I missed every single one!
Now that you mention it, I remember a Tuesday night book study where my youngest brother never answered a question as required and developed a severe case of hives. Huge welts all over his body. He had to be 7 or 8 years old.
Nobody could figure out why........
Oh the Horrror.

Physically or mentally? I went to too many physically but I like the scripture where it says "love does not keep account of the injury" I prefer not to count it would be unloving on my part!!!
Shizenhauser JH I would have no idea. I suffered through years of the blasted things.
Uninformed:
I know of someone who gave the public talk for his congregation the sunday after his saturday wedding, the meeting time was 9:30am!! I think that takes the cake of "stupider"! This was in the early 90's.
q
I am not one to miss anything, and was the most regular in attendance of ANYONE at my congregation.
I may have missed one or two regularly-scheduled meetings from Fall 1990 - Spring 1999. If you add in
rescheduled meetings due to the circuit overseer, that number may be up to seven or eight.
In the last 7 and a half years, I went once in the fall of 2001. DONE.
We had a CO who used to say, whenever someone's name came up in connection with missing meetings: "You miss one meeting, then you miss another... pretty soon, you don't miss 'em at all."
It's interesting how, when I first heard that, I thought of it as a warning about the danger of missing meetings. Later, I learned that he was absolutely right!
