  The bookstudy. You HAD to comment and you couldn't sleep there in someone's house.

  The TMS. The stupid questions the elders made up that went like: "how many were baptized in the peak at Uganda?" There was no room for any variety in the answers. And it droned on and on and on. I rarely ans'd at the TMS.

  TMS was the worst in my opinion.

  I remember conducting the book study in the Old 1963 Babylon book. I actually fell asleep while the paragraph was being read. Someone bumped me to wake me up. I asked my assistant to finish the study and I left for home. Of course I felt I had committed the unforgiveable sin

  I remember a Gilead graduate telling me that it's a sin to pay attention to some of the boring talks that are given.

  I am no longer bored at meetings. I download my E-mail into my palm pilot.

  berten,

  You write about the 4 day District conventions, but do you remember in 1969 the 8 day international convention??? Yes and it was like you said it had evening sessions to. If I recall the mornings during the week were left open for field service, where the city was bombarded by all these good dubs knocking on doors.

  Someone mentioned the boring Sunday pupil talks. I agree, I think about 80% of the elders are not qualified to give talks. They don't understand the concept of making a point, they just talk and talk about nothing at one monotone level in their voice. I read that this was a deliberate mind control technique. That the listener eventually turns their mind of and thus is open to suggestions.

  The Rotten Review, for sheer pointlessness. You prestudied, i.e. looked up all the answers, went to the meeting, spent 25 minutes filling the answers in, and then another 20 minutes, ticking all the boxes correct.

  The Watchtower Stupor was deathly boring as well, especially those ones that were about things like the Zerubabel class, had 25 paragraphs and always went overtime.

  Conventions were almost interminable - with all the "experiences" and "symposiums - translation: three long boring talks instead of one - and the clapping, oh god the clapping! Trained seals don't clap that much! And the closing prayer on the final day always seemed to last about an hour and a half followed by more clapping.

  And we had to pretend we enjoyed it all, even to ourselves. That was possibly the worst thing.

  funkyderek,

  I remember one time an elders prayer was so long, another brother commented that he didn't know brother so and so had a part in the meeting also.
