    The talks were revised in 1995:

    Maybe #100 is on this topic

    Matthew 24:34
    34 Truly I say to YOU that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

    Ug! I hated giving talk #24 but #116 was fun to give.

    UGH!! Number 6 "The Flood of Noah's Day blah,blah, blah" was one of my father's "ace in the hole" talks. You know, the talk that you got to hear every other out of town talk he gave; OR "the speaker didn't show up and I have to give the talk" talk. The whole family got SOOO sick of hearing it. ICK!!! ICK!!! ICK!!!

    Hmmm . . . I see some common themes here . . .

    Scare tactics ("stay with WT or you DIE!!"):
    · Will You Be a Survivor of the Last Days?
    · Are You Marked for Survival?
    · Can You Live Forever? Will You?
    · Decide Now For Divine Rulership
    · Act Wisely As The End Draws Near
    · Maintain Your Confidence Firm to the End
    · Meeting the Test of Christian Loyalty
    · A Cleansed Earth Will You Live to See It?
    · Will You Escape This World’s Destiny?

    Organizational thinking ("We can't trust the masses to think for themselves. We've got to make sure they are towing the line.")
    · No Part of The World In Imitation Of Christ
    · A Godly View Of Sex and Marriage (Yep, no area of life is free from WT directions)
    · A Clean People Honours Jehovah
    · How Do You Fit into the Kingdom Arrangement
    · Are You Content With Jehovah’s Previsions?
    · Resisting the Spirit of the World
    · Getting Marriage Off to a Good Start
    · What Is Behind the Spirit of Rebellion?
    · Does Your Thinking Agree With Gods?
    · How Should You Serve God?
    · Lovers of Pleasures or Lovers of God?
    · Jehovah’s Eyes are on Us
    · Love for Jehovah or the World Which?

    And of course, the usual ranting about religion, and exhortations to recruit new members.

    Also, notice how many talks are rhetorical questions. Most JWs know exactly what the talk will be about. It's just brainwashing - like answering questions from paragraphs in the WT.

    But my favorite:
    · Love Identifies the True Christian Congregation

    And we all know how loving the WT is!
