I think that he is suffering flashbacks from the VietNam war. In the 70's and 80's I always was worried about about Acid flashbacks. Now I worry alot about Acid Reflux.

Due to Ongoing Concern about Dwindling Meeting Attendances, IS THE BOOK STUDY ARRANGEMENT GOING TO BE RE-INSTATED NEXT YEAR?
by steve2 ini have some family and friends still in the organization.
i don't actively seek updates - my lovely contacts provide me with them unsolicited.
so far the updates have been reliable and confirmed sooner or later by subsequent developments.

Yes, Blondie. We still attend 5 meetings, but add Family Worship night, that equalls 6 meetings.
It doesn't matter to me about how they have sliced it, but it's a good point that some hamsterait has mentioned about not dressing up for one.

They told us that the end is getting near, and they didn't want to burdon us anymore. That was of course BS, but, to replace the Book Study again would be denying those statements. The attendance would also suffer, just like it did when it existed.
The old farts who have nothing to do are the only ones that want a reason for another meeting. In their defense, they feel neglected.

Once we had a couple move into our hall with great credentials. They had sons serving at Bethel, pioneering etc. My wife and I thought that they had moved in our cong to fix us up. When he got appointed as an Elder he changed his personality to Mr Hyde. He slammed popular music, dancing, recreation, trips, good jobs with pension plans, and stalked some members in the congregation. I was an Elder during the time that saw his removal. Eventually, true colours appear.

Well you see, Noah was a famous man when this happened, there was a Paparozzi photographer that stowed away into the ark. The only printing company that was interested in this picture was the WT. However, there were many theories as to what they were upto in that room.
Some think that since no TV available, they weren't watching Survivor. Some think Noah was telling his family here about his plans to make a vineyard.

Pre-cleaning the district convention venue
by hoser inthis year as with every previous year a letter was read on how we can honor jehovah by helping to clean the stadium where the district convention is held.. does the watchtower get a break on the rent if the dubs do a major cleaning of the stadium?
sounds like slave labour to me.. .

Why don't they eliminate the cleaning arrangement? They eliminated the food arrangement. Just like the food arrangement in bringing our mini buckets of food, we could bring our mini mops, and brooms. Whatever mess we make, we clean it up.
How bout we eliminate the Attendants? We can attend to ourselves. Tell ourselves to be quiet.

Wow,
Stamped as law in 1953.
A minor amendment in 1959.
That rule was abolished 60 years later.
At this speed, no wonder the Great Tribulation is taking too long.

Sitting in the back rule. is not in print anywhere, as far as I can recall. It's one of those rules that came from an Elders school that the Elders had to pencil into the Elder's manual. It came before my time as an Elder. An older Elder showed his book where he had written in his older book. He stated that it was information in the 70's. That book, he showed me, has been revised three times since then. The rule has lasted until now.
Sitting in the back row for DF'd ones has been a practice in our city for decades.
