Hey Simon!
I used to sit on those Hillsborough terraces under the polythene "tents"
I'm the same age as you . . . we could have been camped next door LOL
Pub
the topic on assembly meals hot food at the dcs past...what was it like?
made me think of the days sat on the terraces at district conventions.
they were originally 4 day affairs but ended up just friday and the weekend (maybe they are just the weekend now?)..
99% of jw's have no idea whats allowed and whats banned - too complex.. so most jw's tick the i accept nothing box.
this from an hlc member i spoke with some time back.
just to be on the 'safe' side, ironically.. anyway imagine the number of dead jw's there would be if this was allowed to run its course.. so imho part of the hlc raison d'etre is to make sure jw's take the blood fractions they are 'allowed'.. thoughts?.

old timers on the board may remember that i was the first to mention the november 06 blood insert in the km.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/121104/1.ashx.
the same very, very reliable source has confirmed that the book study will be amalgamated with the tms and sm.. this same source recently had a long and private conversation with a gb member.
LOL at this lot . . .
I actually believe this is a step back to go forward.
Yes they need to get rid of a weekly meeting - I'm not sure how they've sustained 3 obligatory meetings a week for this long.
But one mega meeting midweek still isn't the solution - within a year attendances will be low when everyone realises if you skip it you get a WHOLE WEEK OFF!
In another 20 years they'll realise what Babylon the Great realised centuries ago . . .
That if you want to go to church, once a week on a Sunday is just about right
That's my prediction - All meetings on a Sunday (like foreign language) within 20 years. Field service only on a Saturday.
They may actually grow/retain members this way.
A suggested tithe within 10 years . . .
By the way I do think there is one small group who will be upset about this . . .
The jumped up, reaching out, up the PO/CO's arse "21 year old elder" who's just been made Book Study Conductor
I can just see the look on their faces
