    10. Other (please detail)

    They should cut back to the Sunday meeting and the bookstudy. The bookstudy should be a 30 minute review and there should be gospel music like you find in lively black American churches for the next 45. There should be a nursery and youth groups for the kids.

    Sunday: A 20 minute sermon followed by more lively black gospel music, with a band including electric guitar lasting 45 minutes.Kiddies can stay in nursery. Sunday school for all ages and nursery, too. Then for those who want, they can stay for coffee and homebaked sweets and rolicking fellowship, followed by a big cookout once a month, later in the afternoon.

    Make them shorter and throw on some food and drink.

    Have dress-down meetings.

    The GB should release a new set of songs every couple of years ( like a proper band ) so ppl dont have to sing the same songs over and over.

    youth groups for the kids.

    and youth camps too. In an outdoor setting, canoeing, swimming, campfires, etc.

    Yes, the speakers dress more casually. I see that on some of the televised churches.

    I'd have to go with having only ONE meetng per week (and I don't mean it to last five hours, LOL)

    Nobody really NEEDS all the other meetings, not to mention the preparation the disrupted mealtimes, etc.

    On the subject of attire, drop the dress code period. Don't require ties, or suits, dresses or pantyhose, ESPECIALLY NOT THE PANTYHOSE.

    If people want to dress up, let them. If people want to show up in shorts and a tank, let them. Just hop in the car, no matter what you're wearing and head for that jumpin' joint, the kingdom hall. Ever hear the song Kingdom Hall by Van Morrison? I think he'd rather see the Kingdom Hall turned into a church type dance hall, too. I've heard he was raised attending the hall.

    Kingdom Hall by Van Morrison

    So glad to see you
    So glad you're here
    Come here beside me now
    We can clear inhibition away
    All inhibitions
    Throw them away
    And when we dance like this
    Like we've never been dancin' before

    Chorus:
    Oh, they were swingin'
    Down at Kingdom Hall
    Oh, bells were ringin'
    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    A choir was singin'
    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    Hey, liley, liley, liley
    Hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do do do do do, do
    Do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do, do
    Do do do do do do

    Good body music
    Brings you right here
    Free flowin' motion now
    When we're shakin' it out on the floor
    Good rockin' music
    Down in your shoes
    And when we dance like this
    Like we've never been dancin' before

    Repeat Chorus

    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    They were havin' a party
    They were havin' a ball
    Bells were ringing out
    And the choir was singin'
    Hey, liley, liley, liley
    Hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do, do do, do do, do do
    Sugar was there
    Did you see Sugar
    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    Sugar was tough

    Praise and celebration songs about Jesus instead of the 'We're Joe Hoba's Witnesses' type of crap that is designed to tickle ears.

    Now that would be a big change for a Dub!
