  Tonight at our meeting we had 4 letters from "The Branch" read at our meeting. I was caught off guard since we usually have an advance warning when these letters are going to be read. Is the Watchtower getting better at hiding these letters?

  1) Reduction of Pioneer School days from 10 to 6 (Mon-Sat)

  2) International Conventions in the U.S. 16 of them in Major cities

  3) The use of "Tablets and Smart Phones at the Meetings"

  4) "Using our Smart Phones and Tablets while distributing our new tracts".

  James you are behind times buddy..

  Each one of those has already been discussed on this very same forum because I read about them.

  I'm too lazy right now to search for all of them but here is one thread from over a day ago talking about the 16 International Conventions.

  Click on the link and you can read the thread.

  Can you elaborate on the use of smart phones etc. Are they saying don't use them? Do use them? How to use them?

  And we missed the announcement of three new exciting sessions to be held at the pioneer school:

  1. Why it's ok to feel that you're special and on a pedastal as a 'pioneer.'
  2. How to feel that you've still accomplished something although 80% of doors are not at home weekdays.
  3. How to maximise your income as a cleaner, window washer, carpet cleaner or chimney sweep"

  I thought your title was interesting -- so JWN owes it to you to warn you before anything new happens at the KH? Maybe that's not really what you meant, though. It is interesting that stuff shows up here quite often before it shows up at the KH.
