    Congregations were called companies. The group leader was the company servant. The second leader was assistant company servant. Summer Sundays were spent in unassigned territory which we had because it was assigned to us.

    All men wore hats to meetings and in service.

    Kingdom Halls had service chats on the wall reflecting the secular book distribution nature of the business. Now I understand those charts are missing.

    bikerchic,

    : Bulletin Board which later became the Information Board

    The term "Bulletin Board" was rejected when the WTS (much to their chagrin) found out that was the exact term used by (horrors!) the mouthpiece for Babylon the Grape, namely the Catholic Church for the board that Church used to put up the demon-inspired ol' Papal Bulls, or edicts.

    One has to wonder if these people were "spirit-directed" why Jehovah didn't stop them from using such a dangerous and obviously demonized term during Jehovah's "spirit-directing" of his single "channel." Jehovah was obviously on vacation. Jehovah is ALWAYS on vacation when it comes to the WTS. So are they, by the way. The only way to get their attention is to beat them upside the head with a baseball bat, vote with your feet, or threaten their numerous bank accounts by withholding their blood money. Otherwise, they are always on vacation.

    green songbooks followed later by the pink songbooks

    the conductor who always "directed" the audience singing the songs during conventions

    pianos used in Kingdom Halls

    Okay, they're not phrases but it's the best this early Alzheimer's brain can come up right now.

    Thanks for the explaination I knew it had something to do with BtG but couldn't remember the exact thinking reasoning on it.

    LMAO about Jehovah being on vacation!

    I hated that! Our song books always stood out as being so different looking same as the green Bible, we just looked weird carring those clashing books around! Guess that's why we had bookbags eh? Oh well I always wanted to have a brown song book.........oh wait we had those! They were ugly too!
