Microphones

lancelink

During the pasr 5 months I have been attending seminars for work, and going to different churches to see
what is out there. And there is one thing that stands out.

The microphones used at the kingdom halls.

Every place I have gone to and listened to speeches, or sermons, they all use a microphone and cord attached to the podium
( about 1 foot in length)
When the speaker gets up, he adjusts it in about 1 second, and goes on with his-her speech, they can adjust it slightly during the
talk if needed.

At the KH,CA, and DA it seems that they always use the long shiny metal stands, and a person has to adjust the microphone each time
someone get up on stage. This may sound like a nitpicking thing, but I've always wondered about this.
why does the society always use this type of microphone?
Any communication installers care to make a comment ?

Those other microphones have a pagan origin.

I attended my sons baccalaureate (sp?) that was held at a local church and the pastor wore a clip-on mic. He was very animated in his speach and walked all over that stage talking to the kids. I couldn't help but think how much more interesting he was to listen to than the JW's glued to their mics.

Microphone adjustment is another privilege they can assign to brothers to make them feel like they're progressing.

Another way to waste someone's time and effort.

If the speaker could adjust the mic themselves then they may feel like they are in control of the part, and the WT can't have that. Also as fern said other pastors are animated, the WT wants the focus to be on the poison being servrd up not on the speaker. Remember the speaker is just a "good for nothing slave" unless it is a GB member.
