The WT Society was priming the JW's for this by restudying the Revelation book umpteen times, until the brothers needed a drool cup to get through the study. The Study I attended last winter was so borring- well, it was until I started asking some questions!-

Well, that's one less boasting session a week for me to miss.
Most of my older ones will be gone in the next 5 years. If I felt or sensed they really wanted me to be straight with them, I would in a heartbeat. However what I am hearing in their voices is panicky desperation. I don't wanna push them over an edge when their chances of surviving and overcoming is so little.
Agreed, I refrain from giving my Mom the full story for that reason. She finds comfort at her Hall. To quote a JW aphorism: "To where would she go to"?
Lisavegas-To just reinforce what oompa said, IMO its social. After all the book study material is now going to be considered on the TMS/SM night.

For me, it was the easiest one to miss. I reviewed my reasons for going regularly and they did not include love for Jeh. My reasons for going included only 2: I wanted to be seen by as many people as possible so as to have a great reputation in the congregation, and I wanted my kids to have a good foundation in the "truth."
Never once did I go because a sky daddy would be happy about it.
I got to thinking that God seemed too dependent on humans for his joy.
No one's going to have those family book studies except for the power mongers and weird PI's.
