I'm not sure if this is old news to you guys but I just heard that the WTS is now giving 30mins Public talks instead of 45mins public talks. This new arrangement is starting on Jan 2008. I think the WTS has seen that the R&F has had enought of all these meetings and is trying to wind them down without it looking like they are giving in.
More new changes - 30 min public talks

Hi Lone Ranger, in fact this issue has been covered by several threads recently. Apparently the WTS has realised that the JWs can't concentrate on the talks because they are so brain dulling, boring and repetitive and giving them is a waste of time.

Yeah, we had the news, as is typical on JWD, long before it was announced last week at the KHalls.There have been several discussions on here about why the change.

Another example of something you heard first as an apostate. It is incredible how often you hear about something earlier as an apostate than you do as a hounder.

Back 35 years ago they were 1 hour talks, when did they go to 45 min.?

Apostates are blessed by their very own fds and received "food at the proper time." So, yes we know all about this information. The information came as if manna from heaven.

Thanks Blondie,

I told my wife about the new arrangement and she told me that she doesn't want to hear anything
that comes from apostate web sites.

The reasoning (or lack therof) behind it is sad though.
