They shared testimonies, taught, quoted scripture (I asked them specifically not to quote footnotes or hymns as I felt they would just be used as filler and I was ultimately testing whether they were able to speak english). One brother gave a very good testimony. I got up afterwards and pointed out that the reason the testimony was so good was because he had something to say, not because he was jumping up and down and gesticulating a certain way. I told them "don't imitate the way he gave his testimony" instead learn from him to study, get into the word and then have something to say.

Not really sure what point you're trying to make. If you want to remind us that you're different, I think we've already realized that by now.
In any event, thanks for noting the difference in time and place, I made it a point to say
FTTA because I don't pretend to understand the Recovery culture on the planet of Taiwan.
I barely understand it here...
