Always talk about where we're going to go to eat and get a gin & tonic after the meeting.

It got to the point where I actually found myself running out the door during the song leaving skid marks in the driveway on my way out of the parking lot. Didn't want to hear the usual "we missed you at the meeting......., let's do field service" questioning from those brothers who claime to have my best interests at heart.
Not very "spiritual" of me.

hi gopher.
your questions piqued my interest.
first, i never enjoyed staying after the meetings. i worked long days and after sitting through 2 hours of "schtuff" i wanted to get home and get to bed. i was always exausted and tired.
only when i had "priveldges" would i stay to "perform" these acts of servitude to "god" (the wts). after i was done my "duties" i was gone.
once i relinquished those "duties" i never stayed. i always brought my own car so i could leave right away, without having to endure the "association" .
during the meetings, i spent allot of time with my 'brothers" usually the younger crowd, in the back answering questions. spiritual, biblical ones? no. computer questions. operating systems, and problem solving. i was the only one there who new my "stchuff".
hope that helps answer your questions there dude.
g'day from the smallest, most corrupt state in the union.

How many of you really talked about the ideas presented at the meeting, when lingering after the meeting?
Never, everything else but that.

If often remarked in related threads here that the post-meeting conversations NEVER involved discussion of the meeting's contents, with the posbile exception the speciualtion about what happened/what was done when the session concluded with a disfellowshipping announcement. Sports, shopping, cars, vacation plans, etc. tended to be most frequent topics following the closing prayer.

: Rather than talk about mundane things of life, discuss the finer points of the meeting just held.
I never did enjoy trying to pick flies off of shit.

Typically, you only hear a discussion of a part if someone screwed up.
