there used to be 5 meetings, held on 3 different days usually:
Bookstudy - 1 day
Watchtower study + public address - 1 day
Theocratic school + service meeting - 1 day
since 2009 they simply combined a shortened bookstudy with a shortened theocratic school and service meeting, so that technically all 5 meetings remained, just being on 2 days instead of three.
hope that helps...

Of course they have firm scriptural backing for (2 or 5, take your choice, its 2 really, but they "overlap in to 5) weekly meetings.
"Extending the example of weekly Meetings in the Synagogue..... " Yes, but that was one meeting on one day.

Another example of accounting dishonesty. You take two parts and call it two separate meetings. I used to call "a meeting" as one trip to the Kingdumb Hell or a book study, and the separate items as being parts. Which would have been more honest.
