What did you do during the written review

truthseeker1

By far the most boring part of all meetings is the written review. What kind of stuff did you guys (male and female) do to pass the time. I either to write computer programs, sleep talk to my wife or sleep in the car. If i remember it, i just don't go

Waiting.....

yes......?

Actually, I used to draw pictures all around the edges of my magazines - but particularily during the review. Lol - at least when I'd forget that there was going to be a written review...and went to the meeting like a dummy.

I never cared much for the review either. (I always did lousy because the meetings never held my attention.) I'd usually answer the true-or-false questions, the multiple choice, and the match-the-quote-to-the-scripture. Then I'd take out some paper and draw. Boy, am I glad that they never took those up. (I'm almost shocked that they don't, come to think of it. I guess the guilt of not knowing the answers is enough though.)

Oh, pbpbthhtt, I always aced those.

Like I said, I was a *good* witness.

What WAS horrifying was when we first started 'drifting away'. Twas a slow process, first we missed one meeting, then two, etc. Eventually, we showed up for one after pretty much missing an entire month. It was a written review.

It's amazing - really - me who always aced them, never prepared for them ahead of time and never got a question wrong, after missing just 1 month of meetings, got only about 40% correct (hey, I was still trying to be a good witness at the time [8>] )

I took my worldly husband to meeting and it happened to be written review night, you should have seen his face! He said in a way to loud voice, "We have to take a goddam TEST?" He never accepted the written review, even when he later got baptized, he wrote in silly and naughty answers to all the questions.

I cheated of course.

I was a "good" little JW and did my Written Review. But I never studied for them - just went by memory. I figured "who cares?". During the last year I was going to the meetings I deliberately missed the nights the WR was on. Then I deliberately missed the other meetings too!

Actually I liked them since I didn't have to listen to yet another boring ass talk that night. And I could draw on the WR paper.
