Maybe it will all be lumped into something new call 'Kingdom Service' time (instead of "field" service) Kingdom service time will be: visiting, sheparding, cleaning halls, hall projects etc...
This is my prediction anyway.
new guidelines for field service coming this summer.
new publication to be released giving new ways of counting time, conducting studies, group activities, etc..

ok, so as most know, this is the weekend of the "special talk" .... if anyone is going to the k hall, please shaer your thoughts on what makes is "so special".... i bet it will be more recycled same same.... "god loves you, he hates violence, he hates bad things happening to good people, he wants you all to be jw memebers...or he will kill you all at the big loving armageddon!!!!!!!
!.
I am very proud to say I excused myself from the "special" (same'ol same'ol) talk. My wife wasn't even that mad. I am a happy guy camped out on my couch, all by myself.
interesting.... http://www.cnet.com/news/lab-grows-blood-for-human-trials-like-real-life-tru-blood/?ttag=fbwl.
this is the worst series i've ever watched in my life.
whenever things are starting to get smooth and good characters seem to gain advantage, the writers just kill them.
i've wasted 25+ hours of my life watching how the writers make the bad win over the good.. they make you continue watching by planting the seed in your head that "just a few more episodes and everything is gonna be all right", but no, painful death comes upon anyone who is not cruel and perfidious enaugh.
LOL
Personally I think it's pretty dumb to spend that long watching something you hate...Games of Thrones is an Amazing show, in my humble opinion. I think you are probably in the minority. Next time if you don't like a show, I would recommend stopping by at least ep. # 3, that way you limit your time being wasted. ;-)
i heard something through the grapevine...was curious if it was an 'official view' long story short, it was stated (??
) that a jw would have been killed had she stayed home and not gone to a ca.
(in washington state) has anyone else heard about this?

Here's a tidbit from JW.org
http://www.jw.org/en/news/headlines/?v=2552828400#mid702014110
just got back from watching jw.stream presentation at our local kh of a 'special' meeting at ursus assembly hall in warsaw.
all the congs in the country were tied in, but some will be watching replay later in the day.
there were 3 parts.
Thanks for posting! JesteÅ› Polskim? I visited Poland a long time ago....would love to go back there.
against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.
he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.
i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.
Old John #2...Muchas Gracias for this very informative and interesting post!!! Also a big thank-you to your contact as well!
PS: fyi: A good/secure and free email service is hushmail.com
i think i typically don't want to be either love bombed or questioned.
i happen to see jws a lot while visiting my mom.
they don't go there with me, which works well for all concerned..
yessir I do. Unless direct eye contact is made, I prefer to bolt. I've been inactive lately and can't stand the "we miss you at the meetings" BS line + ridiculous small talk. Waste of everyones time!
recently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.
"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.
in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.
addendum...
so apperantly if you type JW. (without hitting enter) it auto completes the search with JWFACTS being the 4th result down...but if you hit enter after typing JW. it is as Sir82 said no appearant "appostate" stuff.
strange....
