well, our local needs talk was a bit out of the ordinary - normally it's something mundane like improving bible studies.. after harping on about the good things the congregation is doing, we got to the meat.. there are 100 publishers in the cong - 40% of them are irregular meeting attenders.. the elder said that those who are irregular at meetings are also irregular on field service.. he also said the elders would continue to shepherd these ones, yet most of us never get as shepherding call.. he said that those who've lost their joy feel this way because they don't fellowship often enough and lack appreciation for sacred things.. there are those who are liberal, manifest an independent spirit and have worldly associations.. he even said that those who need to hear this counsel are those who are missing.. .

oh well.

i suppose it's good news..

They elders know why I missed meetings and became irregular and inactive.

What solution did they offer? Nothing !

coming announcement!

the much looked for (or so it seems) announcement coming to the finale of a watchtower study near you, may just be the thing about the book study and if so due to the time of year it is (at least in the northern hemisphere) it would make a fine opportunity for one and all in the congregation to meet say 6-6:30pm to participate in the field circus.

that way more people would be a home and therefore there would be more people to (irritate) talk to.

who knows, whatever it is, if it is in fact a change, it won't be for the betterment of the rank and file publisher.

Usually they don't announce important things like that on a Sunday, when plenty of Non JW's attend...

Who CONFIRMED the BIG announcement about the Book Study?

this seems to be the topic of the week, if not this year.. out of the many points and countless threads about this topic, many have been speculative and of the reminiscing sort.

i was wondering how many confirmations we have about this.

there were only a few that sounded like confirmations that i found posted on this site.

Whatever they announcement, it's man made, and has nothing to do with God.
