I've asked afew Witnesses at work and around town about no more Bookstudy.........they are all so RELIEVED! One Elder with four kids said..."It will make things alot easier, with rushing home from work, the society understands our needs."......another brother said: "It's great, now we can go to the Cinema on half price Tuesday's!" A Sister said: "It's makes it easier if you have a worldly husband...not to be out every second night." My "anionted" mum said: "Well, for people with a spritual hunger it's was not a burden..." I argued with her for awhile but may as well bang my head on the door!
Just a year ago the C.O told us that the bookstudy was the "most important of all meetings....training us for the Great Tribulation." {Small groups}
From my feed back it sounds like 6 MILLION WITNESSES ARE REJOICING AND RELIEVED!!!! The Faithful Slave/Master has taken one brick off their backs!
