Come on Quandary,
Give us a break. Let's cut down the meetings down to five.

Hi Q: I doubt it. Years ago, in the 1970s, our meetings were one full hour long each, exclusing time for songs and prayer. We had 10 to 15 minute intermissions between the Sunday Talk and WT Study, and the Service meeting and School. So, if we arrived at 7:00PM for the School, we would not be done until 10:30. The Society cut back for logistical reason, and made each meeting 45 minutes long, including song and prayer, and discouraged the intermission time. So, arriving at 7:00 PM, we could conceivably be done by 9:30.
But, I doubt that they will ever give up any meetings. If you think about it, the School trains the sales force to talk, the Service meeting trains them in the latest material to market. The WT Study keeps them brainwashed, and the Public Talk keeps them even more brainwashed. The Book study mid-week will not let them forget, and keeps them brainwashed even more.if the day comes when they decide to cut back on meetings, they will also need to cut back on doctrine and be a normal church. - Amazing

Fred, you really should consider going back to school and finishing at least the third grade. You're giving illiteracy a bad name.
