  Major Changes in Watchtower Land???

  by dedalus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to my wife, who is reading some other discussion board, the following changes are happening in the organization, or will happen, or have happened:.

  1. no more book study meetings.

  instead, the book study is added to the theocratic ministry school meeting.. 2. awake is published only once a month.. 3. two versions of the watchtower: one for the public, one for the witnesses themselves.. 4. shortened sunday meetings -- 1.5 hours instead of 2.0 hours.. 5. shortened hourly requirements for pioneers (this one may not be as new as the others?)..

  Goodbye to the Board

  2. friends

  im leaving the board, and am compelled to announce it.

  but there are a few things i want to say first -- some recollections that (perhaps incongruously) seem germane to my leave-taking of jw.com.

  1) my first post was also my first thread, written in the summer of 2000 (on h2o, actually).

  Do we on this board have a tighter group than other boards?

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  there must be hundreds of thousands of message boards.. i wonder if those who post here feel as though this particular site has a stronger knit of people than other boards.. we have so much in common, yet of course different.

  is the fact that we used to be witnesses a stronger string to each other than other common interest groups?
