    What's the deal with no holding hands during prayer? Are you guys serious about that one?

    Oh yeah, that is a recent WT study article. Blondie can tell you the exact one.

    "I have always thought that a number of the upper level at the society knew Freddy was crazy and minimalized him just like he and Knorr had to do with Rutherford years earlier. Freddy didn't like it, either."

    Not to hijack but could this also be the root motive of the 1980 Inquisition that ousted Freddy's nephew, Ray Franz? It really didn't make ANY sense for the other GB members to go nuts like that unless they feared losing/sharing power.

    Back on topic: Field Service or Field Ministry? They go back and forth on that one.

    Do you remember when the "Our Kingdom Ministry" was changed to "Our Kingdom Service" and then back to "Our Kingdom Ministry"?

    Before "Kingdom Ministry" it was "Informant."
