    and after a study in which you can answer easily, then you get tea and cakes..

    I thought the British have tea and crumpets. Jolly good!

    nope cake and tea is tops!

    crumpets......yukie

    Anyway when i went i never liked bookstudy night, i thought it was boring, I may even go back because of the news thats gonna be shortened to 25mins. The only problemo I have with midweek meetings is that its not very practical for children. children dont do well when they go to bed late. I Know just one mega meeting on a sunday, 4 hours long with field services afters..... 8-12 for first congo 1-5 for second congo, sounds like a better plan!

    Is that the only "problem" you have with midweek meetings orchestrated by a cult with a history of exploiting children and inflicting serious mental trauma upon them? A better plan is to put your children's interests first, and just say "no" to forcing them to sit unnaturally still and quiet during jprogramming sessions that you apparently find to be desirable.

    I can only imagine how the hard-liners and old-timers will feel about this news. They would probably see this as unfair since they did this routine for DECADES ... and now THIS?!! Some bitterness towards how the new generation is having it so easy and the organization is being "soft". I think some feelings are going to be hurt.

    The intimate Bible Study Group is how the organization began.

    They are leaving their core competency.

    If it happens it shows that the Wt has no idea about motivation and psychology

    well that was evident when they stopped food at conventions etc..in the name of simplication...twas only simple for the brass...made it more complicated for the r & f.

    (Sigh) Why couldn't they have done this in 1973, when I was 6? I could've watched Happy Days.
