Families with younger children HAD to sit in the last 3 rows or they were counseled!
Disfellowshipped persons were told not to sit next to each other and talk because it "looks like they're unrepentant".

When I was a kid the attendants wouldn't let anyone go to the washroom if there were only a few minutes left in the meeting.That came to an end when the mother of a kid that was stopped got up and blasted the attendant in front of everyone. This was almost 30 years ago though.
Seriously, though. I was always told I couldn't go on stage, or carry a microphone if my suitcoat wasn't buttoned.
We also had some doozy local needs parts. Our territory was near a casino, which had a gas station adjoining it. This station usually had gas for a few cents cheaper, so some of the brothers and sisters would get their gas there to save a little money. There was a local needs part that stated they shouldn't do this, because another witness, or even a worldly person who knew us might see us, and think we were coming out of the casino, and be stumbled. *sigh*
