Righto eyesplice,

but be warned, I'm an old fashioned whip crack'n kinda exjw from the pre-elder days so I'd revert to a 1940's style Theocratic Ministry School.

Ah ..those must have been the days - after a talk the speaker would sit to one side of the platform and be corrected by the audience - a lot like posting here really

For a while there was a move toward democracy with the Congregation Overseer being voted in and the audience free to question and correct public speakers. The freedom to question public speakers during their talks was carried on into the early 80's in my congregation. This privilege was for men only of course. Sisters had to take the speaker aside after the meeting for private admonishment (and somne of those sisters would go at it hell for leather - I remember seeing many a visiting public speaker red faced and bible battered by a sister. .

I doubt any JW today would have the necessary oomph to quiz or correct a speaker during a talk. Would it be great to attend as an apostate and stop the speaker everytime frogs spouted forth! OOOO ther'd be plenty of gestures from the podium that day

cheers, unclebruce

edit: OK This is how it'll work in my Kingdom Hall - under the platform is the baptismal pool. All baptised in the audience have an active button under their seats. When a speaker says something outragous or blatently false the said button is pressed, the floor opens up, said speaker drops into the drink ..

One of my wifes Witness friend that is studying to become a school teacher admiited that the Theocratic ministry

school is absurd to the professional teaching standards. She said that they teach an correct people totally the wrong way.

She is going to ask to be removed from the school, and maybe she will do the householder thingy only!
