Only when the CO was in town... yes. I was one of those ass kissers once.
I never really wrote down anything more than the scriptures he used. Looking back it was rather pointless as I would have no way to really tie it together but it looked good for the Elders and the CO.

Drew pictures. Plus I could use my pen as a stabbing instrument (forearm, thigh) to keep myself awake.
only when I did'nt agree with what they told (Most of the time I was even to sleepy fot that) and afterwhile I forgot to look after it. Much more interesting things to do like reading a good book for example. Country Woman
Sometimes on Sundays, if I thought it was going to be an interesting talk. You know, like how God was going to kill all the unbelievers at Armageddon and why we should be happy about that. *rolls eyes* It makes me sick to think I got excited about slaughter.
I took notes at the special talks and at the conventions/assemblies. I don't know why, other than to stay awake and because they told us to. Or was it that I wanted to look really spiritual (I actually was very "spiritual" for a long time.) in the hopes of attracting a man. *gag*

I never took notes, sometimes I didn't even bring a pen. I was day dreaming most of the meeting.

I did just so I wouldn't fall asleep. Alot of times notes were really notes to my friends sitting beside me making fun of someone or something close by.
I tried, but then I was in serious danger of looking interested, so I just stopped doing it.
It's funny, I remember somebody else doing exactly the same thing. I used to tell her, 'Why are you taking notes?!?! You will never read them! ' She told me that one day she would take them out and read them, as it is always good to keep notes from the table of Jehovah'
