new arrangement - chairman

inbetween

A thought on the emphasis of the importance of the new chairman Arrangement at the midweek meeting:

It reminds me of a TV-Show, where the Showmaster introduces TV-Clips of some Topics.

Is it maybe a preparation for Meetings with more and more Videos ?

And all the local Brothers are doing is introducing them, creating anticipation for what big skydaddy prepared this week.

I wonder, if most of the Meeting times in years to come will be Videos anyway....

It's pure marketing. And being honest, it would not be a good idea to capture a real congregation. First the privacy thing and two it would be a humor movie with crazy answers, bloopers etc etc. That's not in line with the nearly perfect touch and feel of jw broadcasting.

I think you are spot on. More videos, less input from local elders, more deliberate and controlled indoctrination.

The percentage of tie-ins, videos, and manuscript style talks will gradually increase as the ship sinks.

Local needs are still there. It's mentioned in passing, in the instructions for carrying out the meeting.

The future for JW meetings:

KH lobby will have an attendant take your money/donation.

You find your seat

The lights go out

the meeting/ movie begins

the movie/meeting ends

the lights come back on

Yes, I think you have it. With the ATM machines now situated in KH lobbies and now widescreen TV's also now installed in KH lobbies they very well may be moving to a more video-based meeting system. More indoctrination to make things more awe-inspiring in a way.

Seriously? Where have you seen this?

I've only seen them in assembly halls.
