What about the "meeting after the meeting"?

Or the "meeting in the back room"?

Ah, those were the days!!!

Service meeting and Theocratic Miniseries School.

When I look back, it seems so amazing to me, the sisters could get on stage and give information to each other for us to hear but......

Don't you dare speak to the audience! God hates that! God says only boys can look forward!

What biggotry,

The meeting(s) where you had to put on a suit and tie, sit for an hour or more and listen to a bunch of bull-crap, and pretend to be interested. Everything else was fine.

PS, re: the burning pie. that is awesome!

my least favorite meeting was the bookstudy on Tuesday nights. at least in the KH, I could fuck around unobtrusively and not be noticed, but in someone's basement or living room, there is no hiding place at all. can't even hang out in the bathroom, because EVERYBODY sees you get up and walk out.

I know the real reason the WTS banned smoking, can you imagine how many "cigarette breaks" one would need, to get through the meetings?

Gitas mentioned any meeting at which the CO was present. I remember taking my wife and step kinder to a meeting in Clarksville, TN, it was like our second or third time there...and it just so happened the CO was in town...somehow I managed to sit right behind him and his pickled wife. (Pickled as in well preserved, not drunk...looked like her make up was tatooed on). Anyhow, he made a bit of small talk just before the meeting...then noticed I wasn't carrying the NWT bible, but a big Catholic Bible with a nice gold cross on the front...not a comment from him at all after he saw that...though to his credit he didn't move to a different seat.

Or you knew when they would say at the end of the meeting, "we have an annoucement to make" that someone was gonna get the boot...

I kinda liked the Sunday talks, as long as the speaker was articulate. Some of them were good. And the TMS gave me a chance to write some of my own material, which certainly got me some funny looks from the folks in the audience.

The stuff that drove me nuts? Watchtower Study. Good grief ... from about 3rd or 4th grade, when a kid develops decent reading comprehension ... we read the WT. Then we go thru a study at home. Gotta underline some answers to the questions & be prepared to raise your hand during the meeting so everyone knows you're taking this seriously. And then to sit thru that whole process all over again on Sunday morning? Can you say "remedial"?

The book study was almost as bad, maybe even worse when it was held in a private home. You'd be camped on an uncomfortable chair, feeling the chili dog you ate for junch swelling your intestines with high pressure gas ... you ever learn the hard way just how noisy a fart can be when released on a metal foling chair?
