  Good points. Additionally, I think the easiest job at Bethel must be writing articles for "Our Kingdom Ministry."
  
  I truly believe that there haven't been any "new" articles in the KM in decades. Rather, they have a database of a few dozen articles about (1) the importance of the ministry, (2) the importance of the meetings, (3) which months have five weekends and are great for auxiliary pioneering, and (4) the yearly district convention insert.
  
  In particular, isn't the yearly district convention insert basically identical every year? How many times do we need to be reminded not to cook in our hotel rooms?

  No wonder I have felt I have missed nothing in 4 years of missed boasting sessions.

  Olin Moyles, no cooking in hotel rooms? I always take my crockpot with me when I travel. Keeps down expenses. Are they complaining about crockpots or are people bringing hot plates?

  I gave public talks. One thing that was very apparent was that the outlines followed a very consistent format. In fact, I came to one congregation and brought the wrong outline. I gave the talk. No one noticed that I was giving the wrong talk.

  Great description!

  I remember getting commendation for every public talk I ever gave. After I left the borg, I thought back on all those occasions and wished I had asked the person giving the praise if they remembered what the title of the talk was. I bet the majority couldn't tell me.

  LIke I heard it once described, going to meetings is like rehashing the rehash of the rehash.
