Usually, I enjoyed the public talk, if the speaker was good but I thought the Theocratic Ministry was boring!!!
The Service Meeting was just a sales meeting. The book studies were simply ridiculous. The Watchtower was predictable. The worst meeting has to be the Service Meeting. Boring, unimaginative and the most cultish. imo.
i had to help when people cancelled at the last minute so i HATED the TMS and service meeting
SERVICE MEETING; just a bunch of sales talks, latest meeting during the week, elders tended not to prepare; WTS realized that too and now provides questions for the parts. Control, control.
The Service Meeting. Especially if the young boy assigned to the Bible reading droned on in ann awkward monotone, mangling the pronunciation of every word longer than two syllables. Our congregation included two school districts, a good one and a not-so-good one, and my mom and I could usually tell which school district the Bible reader went to based on his reading skill or lack thereof.
Best ever meeting was the written review. It was so nice and quiet, no-one yabbering on.
Worst meeting for me was the theocratic ministry school. It just seemed to go on and on. Also I hated having to do a sisters talk - it was always a case of doing a quick practise with your 'householder' in the back room just before the meeting, and hoping that she just stuck to the script and didnt try any amateur dramatics.
The Service meeting
Theocratic School
Watchtower
Public talk
Book Study
in that order
I hated all of em' equally ! I could have been home watching a ballgame or fishing on the weekends. Utter waste of time
I was tortured and bored out of my mind equally by all of them
I hated studying ANYTHING. So, here's my order of most hated:
Watchtower Study
Book Study
Service Meeting
Public Talk
Theocratic Ministry School
I didn't mind the TMS. People got on and off the stage a lot, and that kept me awake. It was also interesting to see how the TMS conductor would kindly tear a new arsehole on a student.
Field Service
I know not a real meeting.
