The book study: how many times can you go through the Revelation book? And as it was at my house, it was inescapable.
The book study was held at my home too. There was less suffering because I didn't have to listen to the kingdom melodies.
I hated them all.

ooh forgot about the bookstudy - yup hated that - NO ONE answered except me - it got rather embaressing - I felt like I was conducting the bloody thing. And then the prayer they would thank Br X for reading (ja and what about me for answering)
uggggg and yes many times they went overtime - I used to get highly annoyed.

1. WT study - because it's the essence of WT dogma, it's boring, even more if there was a boring talk before, and the "friends" use it to comment their own restrictive views on stuff... like hairstyle and the like.
2. service meeting - because 1 hour is hard to bear, but the second hour's just unstandable. brothers very often exceed their time...
3. book study - because it's on an extra day. another evening spoiled
4. public talk - always the same stuff. heard it all before...
5. theocratic school -

The Theocraptic Misery "School(??)" was the wimpiest excuse of a school. You learned next to nothing, save for how to give a talk about nothing. I hated it when it was our book study's turn to go to the second school, and the talks got tedious.
At least with the Circus Meeting, the announcements made a little fun. Most common, it was the bullsxxx about the times of the other meetings and field circus. However, when they invited a hounder to the platform, my hopes would go up that someone got disfellowshipped. All too often, it was more bullsxxx or some stupid resolution that will be forced through against better judgment. Of course, I hated when they were running late.

The TMS could be bad, but it also had the most opportunity for hilarity.
The watchtower study was always dull, you'd possibly already had a dreadful public talk, was on a Sunday morning, there was the pressure to answer, having to listen to read answers or sanctimonious answers and the hall was probably too warm - a vile combination. I always avoided sunday door knocking beacuse I was so hacked off by 1pm.

I thought the public talk was the worst with the Watchtower as a close second. School and service meeting are next with the book study coming in last (bascially because it was the shortest )
