    Title of article "Do you Regularly Check the Information Board?"

    Yes they are going to have a part telling people to go read the board in back! Still not using the evil term "Bulletin board" eh WTS?

    Elders, ministerial servants, and others who have congregation responsibilities regularly look at the information board to see when they have an assignment. However, all in the congregation will find important information there. Do you know when it is your turn to clean the Kingdom Hall? Has the circuit overseer or branch office sent important correspondence to the congregation? Do you know the title of the public talk this week so that

    you can invite your Bible student? Have adjustments been made to the meeting scheduleor in your field service group? Much of this information is no longer announced during the meetings, and it may not be possible for the elders to convey it to every publisher individually. Thus, we should check the information board regularly. If we keep ourselves informed, then all things can take place “decently and by arrangement.”—1 Cor. 14:40.

    No wonder the service meeting continues to be the biggest waste of time...

    I went to the meeting today . When I heard the comments I realized the dumbing down of JWs is a real thing .

    Future topic for the service meeting might be "What prayer to say before screwing in a light bulb"

    From what I remember they have been called "Information Boards" rather than "Bulletin Boards" for a while.

    At a weekend service meeting back in the 70's, the chairman introduced my dad (an elder) who would be giving a Special Needs talk about a problem. What was this serious problem? They finally caught the kids of the hall smoking? Unchaperoned dating? No. It was the disrespect being shown by kids punching holes in the announcements on the Bulletin Board.

    Maybe the bulletin board should be formatted like the Dick and Jane series

    Elders. See Elders jump

    Ministerial Servants . See Servant run

    To be honest most of them DON'T check the board so they need to be told to do so.

    So yes, some JW's are that fucking stupid.

    I would glance at the board from time to time, and when I saw it was our turn to clean I would get the wife and say "We gotta go, I'm tired."

    that's what happens when people are constantly told that they aren't capable of thinking for themselves - they become unable to do so.

    Can a J-Dub count time if he calls another J-Dub to bring him up to speed on the latest content displayed on the Information Board®?
