Is the Watchtower having problems with meetings for field service? Are field service meetings being viewed as "less" important than other meetings?

Tried to open it, while i was waiting for it to open my Norton Antivirus gave it red x and said it was unsafe to open and has been removed.

Didn't look at the link, but where I live, meetings for field service have been on a downhill slide for years now. You would be lucky if two people turned up. The GB would have to be aware of this trend , if it is a universal one , which I suspect it could be. -

Meetings for field service are not meetings. Who are they trying to kid. Most times very few people show up and then its a rehash of the magazine presentation that was usually already done at the mid week meeting. They try to spiritualize everything and anything. -

Low attendance and viewed as less important? Reminds me of the old Tuesday night book studies. I vividly recall how WT stressed the importance of the congregation book studies. Every CO visit it was hammered on how low book study attendances were and needed to be brought up from around 70% to 100% or better. I was in congregations that were constantly switching locations, and trying different days, including Saturday and Sunday... with no real success. And WT claimed that during the tribulation those book studies held in homes would save our lives since the KHs would be closed down.
Then, out of the blue, WT discontinued these meetings. Why didn't they do that back when I was a kid? It would have saved hours of my time every week!
Maybe it's time for WT to call it quits with meetings for field serve-us?

Thanks for the chuckle, Atlantis. I liked the one where if there are no brothers that the sister would wear a head covering and be seated. Oh, and if a young baptized brother shows up to the group that the elders will decide if he's old enough to take the group. If not, then the sister takes the group and if the elders feel he can give a prayer, then he's allowed. Is this this the outcome of baptizing children too young????If they are not sure of him taking the group or even saying a prayer then what in the hell questions did the elders go over with him just before he got baptized??? -

When will they realize that preaching is useless not because of the way it's presented but because people don't really care. They've become the physical version of email spam.
