If the talk and/or Craptower study was boring (99.9% chance of this happening), I'd just open my bible up and start reading. Far more interesting and enjoyable than listening to the stuff coming from the platform. It also helped me discover alot of inconsistencies in the teachings of the WTS and the bible.
Ways to keep entertained when going to a meeting...

do a shot of whiskey every time they say jehovah, society, or when there's clapping involved.

I've trimmed down to a simple blank notebook. I've written an entire short story during an assembly. I also wrote out a five year training plan for my office. I take notes from year to year on the attendance, number of baptisms, and that sort of thing. I usually highlight the most reprehensible public talk of the day and take as many verbatim notes from that as I can.

Toward the end of my attendance, I would send dirty text messages to the guy I was seeing.

LMAO....
Vicodin, Alcohol... hahaha
Actually a shot before the service meeting may not be such a bad idea... :-)
But really, I can SO relate to this, Cognac...
For me I usually print off a Proclaimers or old WT article I want to check out. Then I sit at the back and do some research. Recently though I've been finding that I suddenly fall ill mid-meeting and I have to get home quick. :-) I'm currently trying to work on something a little more permanent... something that requires a lot of specialist visits away.
Anyway, just to let you know that I relate wholeheartedly. When you've found so many discrepancies in your belief it's very difficult to sit still and listen to it for two hours on a mid-week night.

By all means, yes. Write something useful. Everyone assumes you are taking notes.
Draw artwork if you are not a writer.Put headphones on and let all assume you are listening to the broadcast of the session
for the hearing impaired. What you are really listening to?- Up to you.
