Let's put an end to the speculation....

...there are so many threads wondering "why the change to the meeting structure?"

Why should we wonder? Why not ask the guys who made the change themselves?

Office of Public Information: (718) 560-5000

Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses: (845) 306-1100

WTB&TS: (845) 306-1000

I'm sure that anyone there would be more than happy to reply to a question of "I heard that you were dropping the private home book study and consolidating it with the Ministry School and Service Meeting. I don't understand why - can you explain it to me?"

Be sure to post the replies here!

Called and asked receptionist about the CBS being combined with the TMS.

Transferred to Service Department.

African-American voice wanted to know why I asked about the CBS.

"There is some talk going around that this is about to happen and I just wanted verification."

African-American voice: "What makes you think we would verify something like this. Just wait and if it is true an annoucement will be made at the kingdom hall."

African-American voice didn't seem to thrilled to be asked about the subject.

The person on the other end of the phone was thinking 'Another damn apostate or apostate-in-training... Trying to run ahead of the organization... Must wait on Jehovah...'

He sounded a bit depressed, Aude.

Oh well, an hour or two of Field Service and attending the TMS/SM tomorrow night will cheer him up.
