    In reality , an awful lot of the talks were very much the same .

    1] an introduction that spoke about the title/theme

    2] The body was a way of waving that title around some counsel for the flock

    3} a conclusion that came back to the topic.

    A very experienced Presiding Overseer that we once had used to openly say that he would start off giving one talk , then get bored and lapse into memorised familiar stuff from another one - nobody noticed

    I assume that later numbers mean later additions. I do see a trend towards fear-mongering.

    hehe. 055- What kind of name are you making with god? I LOVED this talk. My dad used to give it. I've heard it about 50 times. This was back in the days before props were discouraged. He had these illustrations that would bring down the house. One was about a proud mama and her cute little baby:
    "Oh, what a cute baby! You must be so proud, look at all that black hair! What did you name him, Mrs Hitler?" and this other one, about 1/2 way through the talk, (part of it was about the book of life,) he would say "Is YOUR name... in the BOOK of LIFE?" Then he'd hold up his prop. It was a GIANT coffee table book that he'd turned the dust-jacket inside out and written on it in magic marker "BOOK OF LIFE." The audience would always go dead silent for a couple of seconds, then crack up laughing.
    aaahhh, good times. LOL!
