Yes, i've been going to the meeting lately (only) to hear my DA announcement (still hasn't been announced..been over a month) and pick up some mags (another story!)(See "Org crack down on..." post). Well heres two comments made by speakers from the platform that I noticed that sorta stuck out.
Firstly, about a month ago this MS was doing a talk on Proverbs in the TMS and during the talk we had to look up 4 scriptures in a row from the Bible and the MS said (the way I heard it he said it sarcastically) "It's great to be finally using the Bible!". (As a side point, at last Tuesdays meeting we only looked up 1 scripture (count is usually only about 3-6).
Secondly, this Elder was doing a service meeting talk on the "Reasoning" book and he said he "liked to really do a lot of research"......he then went on to praise the societies publications and that he uses just them in his research.
