  Restructuring meetings makes sense. There is bound to be some half-way intelligent witnesses that begin to

  wake up after the change in the "generation" doctrine and begin to get discouraged thinking this could go on

  and on and on and on......Putting some interest and vitality into the meetings right after the generation change

  announcement is a great idea on the part of the Borg, especially for the young ones. Instead of thinking about

  leaving now (since this thing is probably going to go on forever), they might want to stick around for

  the FUN and excitement being infused into the meetings. It has all been carefully planned out I'm sure.

  They've already taken the public talk and made it into 30 minutes so that there will be more time to preach.

  So maybe the announcemnt will be to remind the friends that they should be going out in service for that extra 15 minutes a week, meaning an extra hour per month.

  Everyone knows that field service is more fun than meetings, right?

  Also heard speculation that it is a change in the hour requirement for pioneering to try and get more people to pioneer.

  Heard one brother saying 55 hours a month for regular pioneer and 40 for auxilary. I wonder which of these announcements it will be.

  Has the Watchtower tightened up on leaks to "apostates"? It seems that the bodies of elders know the specifics of the re-structurings, but we don't.

  "No more sitting on a hard-wood bench."

  "No more Latin, no more Greek / No more sitting on a hard-board seat."

  Most kingdom halls will be sold just like Brooklyn facilities. We will meet mostly on Sundays in Seventh Day Adventists churches thanks to a long term lease agreement....they don't use them then anyway..............oompa

  The Book Study's getting eliminated.

  Bottom line: They are hemhorraging - they have to do something. The WTS is not known for having the pulse of real life people. It will be very interesting to see what form of band-aid they choose to put on a gunshot wound this time.

  Nobody's going to the bookstudy anyway.

  Maybe they're going to show movies at meetings and sell pop corn and candy; and stop busting people's balls.
