That talk was well executed,  you murdered it!

One person in our KH has a balance condition and wears a helmet, lest he faint. I told the speaker (a good friend of mine) "Look, it's well known what your talks are like but even I don't  feel the need to wear a helmet when you're on the platform."

 

Let's face it: insulting each other for their talks is a cottage industry among Jehovah's Witnesses. It is always good-natured fun. In fact, I would never do it for someone whose talks actually were wanting.

Answers. Five minute answers. I know it would be mean to time this brother. But i have my suspicions!

I'm guilty of timing a sister...I think Ross knows this. Answers minimum of 8 times during Watchtower. Majority over 1 minute.  We need a trap door bad, really bad. I know I'm evil...very evil. <<<<sister.

The conductor is responsible for who he calls on. If more hands are up he might not have to call on one person so often...

We have a gong at our hall, but every one is afraid to use it.

 

 

By the way that was one of our brothers ringing that thing.

 O we have plenty hands that are raised. The hand just keeps going up for the paragraph till called on.

No bell is rung at our Hall. Especially when the friends are giving parts/talks. If they go over more than 5 minutes, it is what it is.

It is well to remind elders of this occasionally, in private communication. Don't overdo it.  Don't harp. It is something you could even mention to the traveling overseer, also without harping. The benefits of all keeping comments under 30 seconds are plain. When it is not practiced or strongly encouraged in a congregation, it is only human foible that is the reason - someone doesn't want to risk hurting someone's feelings. However, Bethel and the traveling overseers are quite plain that there should not be run-on comments. 

 

We all can live through one on occasion, but when it gets to be a pattern, it is not good. It detracts from the joy of the meetings. You end up rolling your eyes, rather than being upbuilt. If even one elder starts to harp on '30 seconds or less,' stating that policy clearly, the others are likely to follow suit, for he is right and they all know it. They all know it's for the greater good of the congregation to do it that way, but they are sometimes too much nice guys to reign in the yakkers.

 

Occasionally, elders do not know how to get from here to there. What if nobody answers other than Sister Expound? Let there be dead air, in that case. It will not continue long. When the friends see the forums are wide open, they will rise to the occasion. They always do.

Each congregation should have a Miss Sweetie Poo.

At one time we had a Watctower conductor that went overtime 10 t0 20 minutes each study. It was rectified when after about 5 minutes OT one brother and his wife would stand up and make a production  of gathering their things and then leaving the hall. It worked.

I have counseled several on long comments. One sister in particular would launch into a dissertation during the last couple of minutes of the last paragraph. After a while it became obvious that I wouldn't call on her when time was short. I did take time after the meeting to explain why I didn't call on her. She took the message to heart, but we still have some (all sisters) that are shy when given the assignment for the 2 minute part on the midweek meeting, but can easily go 2 to 3 minutes educating the congregation on their pet research.

Long comments?

Let's also include individuals in the congregation who love to raise their hand at each meeting to incorporate "a family / toddler / child / husband experience" into each and everyone of her comments, whether the topic of conversation is personal study, the rebellion in Eden, Daniel's prophecy, the Timeline of Jesus' Life or the Revelation of John!
