Do you still think JWs still call it, "Book Study Conductor" or "Congregation Servant"? Or do you still say, "JWs sell books"? Do JWs take blood or don't they? Are the "blood cards" discontinued or what?........Are there things you're not quite sure about as to what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach or believe???
Are You "Up" With All The Latest JW Rules, Lingo & Policies of The WT.?

1) Now Book Study Overseer 2) only ministerial servants, all else "overseers" 3) WTS officially never said they sold books...place books or magazines 4) blood fractions now 5) Actually, the WTS always considered "blood cards" wrong terminloogy; Advanced Medical Directive card was preferred 6) Durable Power of Attorneys now (DPAs) Can JWs divorce on grounds other than adultery? (trick question)

Good point, minimus. It is Watchtower Study CONDUCTOR not overseer. I wonder why. I would think the WT study is more important than the book study...

Perhaps because it's usually the Book Study Overseer, is responsible for overseeing the meetings for field service, or at least finding another poor brother to dump it on.

The Latest JW Rules, Lingo & Policies of The WT
Good point Minimus. It is by means of these things that JWs control and get the measure of people.
Do you remember the old 'New things Learned' at CO's visits? It was really a test to see if everyone was up to speed in 'JW Speak'. Woe betide you if you didn't know the ins and outs of the latest 'new light'.Eyeslice

We used to say "Old Things Forgotten" instead of "New Things Learned".
