Slightly weird mess-up by the Society...service meeting part

    If there's one thing the Society loves, it is punctuality and regularity.

    Every year for at least the past 30 years, without fail, you could set your atomic clock by it, what is the primary topic of the 1st service meeting in January?

    Of course! You find out where and when your district convention will be that year.

    So, looking at the December KM, sure enough, there is an insert covering the usual topics (don't save seats, arrive on time, spit out your gum, don't pee in the hotel pool, etc.).

    But wait a minute! In the schedule for "meetings for the week of January 4".....somebody forgot to put in coverage of that article! There's no time slot for the article, nor for the reading of the "Disctrict Convention letter"!

    So, the Society had to send out a BOE letter explaining that a "local needs" part, which is scheduled for that night, should be used to cover the article. The DC letter will be read as part of the announcements.

    Nothing earth-shattering here - I just thought it was odd that something so obvious, so ingrained in the JW schedule, would just be somehow forgotten about until after a million or so KMs had ben printed and delivered.

    What's going on at HQ that they miss such an obvious error as this?

    thats impossible. I dont believe you. the literature is divinely inspired. -

    unless there is no date, because Armageddon will be here.

    No, the full list is printed in one of the March Watchtowers.

    What happens in January is that each congregation is read a letter, explaining where & when that congregation's DC will be.

    But this year, it's like the Society forgot they were supposed to do that...despite having done it the first week in January for decades.

    I really don't worry about errors like that... it's nothing more than a clerical error. Happens in every company.

    sir82: "So, the Society had to send out a BOE letter explaining..."

    Yet another example of "new light" shining forth from Jehovah's wife-like disorganization.

    "What's going on at HQ that they miss such an obvious error as this?"

    That wasn't "an obvious error", that was "old light".
