Actually the concept of having a regular family study every Monday evening was presented as a replacement for the congregation book study when it was combined with the TMS and SM.

My guesses for releases are that the last talk on Friday - there will be a tract with different verses that should move a person to keep on the watch. That may be used instead of the Keep on the Watch brochure since I believe they aren't printing that anymore.
On Saturday I think it may be a book to replace the one from 1984 Survival Into a New Earth. There was a chapter in there about not longing for the things behind, and different areas in the book where it refered to Jesus apostles being watchful. There hasn't been a book recently about paradise or the events that will lead into that, aside from where it is mentioned in the bible teach book, in the mags, etc. On the back of the Awake it does group the last two talks on Saturday together so they will probably start off about not looking to what's behind, then talk how Jesus apostles kept on the watch and maybe release a book on that.
Recently in past years the books have been either to teach doctrine, about conduct, about Jesus, directed to children, etc.
That's my guesses anyways.

A Drama on the Prodigal Son? Can't wait to hear how they try to apply this to the "situation today in the congregation".

Is "Family worship" now part of JW talk? I seem to remember I have seen it a couple of times before (in quotations on this board, along with the Book Study change maybe), but to me it sounds more Evangelical than JW...

Family Worship is now supposed to be on the night that the old bookstudy took place

The Drama about the Prodigal son is interpreted as how those who held on to old beliefs are like the wicked other son. But the prodigal returned acceptes whatever his father (aka the BORG) dishes out.
Its all in the "greatest man "book.
