Three of us had a talk at a district assembly several years ago, and were given the manuscript. We didn’t talk from notes; we talked from the Tower’s manuscript. One of us put in a little comment that didn’t change a thing, but got reamed out backstage for the error. I wasn’t the one who added the comments, but today wish I could do it over again.

Its almost scary that Elsewhere can get District Convention Outlines before the R&F does. Thanks.

After you finish your part, you may be requested to report to the Chairman’s office, as the brothers there may have some observations for you.
If you don't toe the line, you're in trouble.
About 20 years ago, a local elder, in his District Convention talk, conveyed the idea that the circuit overseer was mainly just another elder. He then went to the chairman's office (a long walk down a darkened hallway) and was reportedly scolded for daring to say such a thing!

"Keep in mind that a talk given in the form of a fireside chat will not be suitable."
WTF is a "fireside chat"? Is that anything like a seaside sermon, kind of like that guy gave...oh what's his name....JESUS?!

During his time in office, US president Roosevelt addressed the nation on the radio in a series of "Fireside Chats". They were meant to convey his concern for each individual, and he talked in that tone even though he was addressing a very large American audience.
Wikipedia entry on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireside_chat
The Fireside Chats were a series of 30 evening radio talks given by United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944.
Originally an attempt to garner support for his New Deal policies during the Great Depression, Roosevelt gave these evening radio talks to the American public straight from the White House. The addresses gave people a sense of hope and security during difficult times, and helped keep Roosevelt popular despite the continuing Depression.
Because nearly every home in most working-class neighborhoods would have the radio on and windows are open in summertime, in many city neighborhoods it was possible to take a long walk without missing many of the President's words.
During World War II, the Great Depression wound down but Roosevelt continued giving Fireside Chats, explaining major wartime policies and events to the American people.

Thanks for the explanations of "fireside chat". I was actually being sarcastic. :)
