Testimony Meeting

1 Corinthians 14:31 "For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted."
Revelation 19:10 "for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

On one occasion someone asked Joseph Smith if he truly was a prophet.  To which Joseph replied that he had the testimony of Jesus and thus possessed the spirit of prophecy.  Therefore, all of us can in that sense be a prophet (not to be confused with THE presiding Prophet of the Church).  So viewing these two verses together we see that Testimony Meeting is when we share our testimony of Jesus one by one.  This means that the purpose of Testimony Meeting is that all may learn and be comforted.  I believe we could all get a lot more out of Testimony Meeting if we looked for what lessons we could be taught and ways that the testimonies could comfort us through our trials.  For instance, when I hear someone bare testimony of how they know that Jesus is the Christ through study of the Book of Mormon, I learn that I should follow that pattern.  Likewise, if I hear how someone pictures the Savior, I can be comforted whenever I find myself needing His presence.
