I think that is just his affect. I believe he is speaking off the outline and trying to have an easy going, laid back approach. Herd, Weaver and some of the other heavies do this.
These guys have a comfort level standing up before thousands of people hanging on their every word. So they just get up there and talk. They want to come across as personable, relatable, and down to earth. I don't think he's bumbling or inept...he's just a guy running his mouth in front of an adoring crowd.
last month i heard a talk from a c.o.
he mentioned that the door to door service will come to an end.
he said that jehovah will tell us to stop it, eventually.
Some alternate ways of obtaining field service time already exist...or at least did a couple of years ago when i was still in:

I understand now, thanks King Solomon.

Why is there a problem with Anonymous obtaining the list? It isn't as if Anonymous will delete the original file. Can't the police/courts/others still verify the information?
Edited to add: The database obtained by Anonymous doesn't have to be the information used in courts does it? Can't the court subpoena the WTS for the database?

If Anonymous obtains the database, surely they won't delete the original file that exists on WTS servers. At any point in the future the proper authorities can still get ahold of this information from the WTS, unless of course the WTS destroys the information. And if the WTS hasn't destroyed the database up to this point I don't see why they would due to Anonymous' activities.
Am I looking at this wrong? What am I missing?
this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.
i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..
Poppers - I've read the Power of Now and it seemed to speak about the same sort of thing...quieting self, being present, etc. I've tried that, but I guess I have ADD. I don't obsess and carry a lot of turmoil with me...on second thought the WTS still causes me some anger, but for the most part I'm fairly laid back and chilled. I just haven't figured out how to do the whole transcendental thing. Maybe I'm overanalyzing it...
Perhaps appreciating the beauty in my kids' smiles or holding my wife's hand is good enough.

Thanks to all for their responses; including the funny & sarcastic replies. I welcome all replies and am not offended. I've lurked/participated enough, where I feel like I "know" everyone here.
Like SweetBabyC, I live in the Bible Belt U.S. and have a lot of Baptist, Methodist, JW family and friends. There are times when I wonder about the spiritual experience of those around me. I just find it strange that I can't experience the same thing.
Shelby - Thank you for the response and illustration. I'm thinking about what you wrote. Growing up JW, I never thought about Christ and God that way...Christ as the way to access God. That is interesting. Thanks again!

i was just thinking about all the fear i had when i was a kid that i would be attacked by demons if i wasn't careful.
i mean i lived in absolute terror over it, so i'm going to reminisce about the things i was told were demonized and you can add to the list if you'd like:.
lucky charms cerealcount dracula cerealitems bought at garage sales where there was a cross or anything religious present"hotel california" by the eagles (now one of my favorite songs)wwjd braceletsscooby dooi remember being so scared of every little noise that whenever i would turn off my light to go to bed, i would say "jehovah, jehovah!
As a kid I couldn't:
because they were all demonized...probably missing a few more things.

he states they were sent in just for a year as previous c.o.
was reassigned before the normal 3yr time.
WTS is getting all of the COs on the same 3-year rotation schedule. This service year has some COs in a circuit for only a year...happened in my wife's circuit as well as another family member in a different part of the country.
