Just one more reason for the rank and file to say...."This just shows - we are so close to the end"

How will we know whose turn it is to do the cleaning?!

Here is the announcement from the August 2012 Kingdom Ministry:

Beginning the week of September 3, the
Congregation Bible Study will be lengthened
from 25 to 30 minutes. In his introductory
comments, the conductor should take one
minute to review the previous lesson. The timing
of the Service Meeting will also be adjusted
from 35 to 30 minutes. There will no
longer be a separate part for announcements.
Instead, any announcements should be given
at the beginning of the first scheduled part.
In most instances, few, if any, announcements
will be necessary, and there is no need to
outline what will be presented on the meeting.
Announcements regarding field service
and cleaning schedules, as well as greetings,
should not be made. (km 10/08 p. 1, par. 4)
If a lengthy announcement will be presented,
it will be helpful if those participating in
themeeting know in advance so that they can
shorten their part.

So I guess they still have room for announcing the DFing of child abuse victims.

No announcements? What I read in the 8/2012 KM was they would not announce some things but any announcements would be tagged onto the first part on the service meeting. Any lengthy annoucements the WTS required that the first brother tell the ones after that they will have less time (haha). They were first adjusted in 2008. 5 minutes will be tagged onto the CBS and 5 less minutes on the service meeting.

*** km 10/08 p. 1 par. 4 New Congregation Meeting Schedule ***Such announcements as field service arrangements, cleaning schedules, accounts reports, and routine letters from the branch office do not need to be read from the platform but will be posted on the information board for the brothers to read.

@ JakeM2012: You're an asshole In my cong the brothers wouldn't care if you ran over two hours, they're gonna give their part and take a few extra minutes to boot or else. I don't have a recent memory of an evening meat-ing ending on time, they ALWAYS run at least five, if not ten, minutes overtime; I'm tired, I don't want to be there, I'm surrounded by people I can't stand, it's cold, the hall smells "funny", the lightings bad and now I am forced to sit through more of this bullshit than was planed?

AH F**K!

They eliminated announcements as a part of the Service Meeting due to the increasing price of gasoline, and due to the decreasing number of Ministerial Servants.

Don't you people appreciate this new loving provision from the Governing Body?
