I was hoping for an anouncement saying that the book study is not longer needed, it is an annoyance, it adds so much more stress and anxiety to the R&F and should for the greater good to all, must be done away with. But sadly, instead, they chose another boring bookthe bookstudy is important for the borg. In a bigger group like the meetings people can sometimes not notice if somebody is there. If you split it up in cells, there is much more control. Every bugstudy conductor has responsibility for the on the CBS. And detects even the smallest absence of meetings. Danny
Why Does The Society Pick BORING Books To Study At The Bookstudy?

I thought the same thing, Danny, more control through the book studies.

Yes, the bookstudy is like a cell----in more ways than one.

The book study also serves the important purpose of completely screwing up yet ANOTHER night of the week for everybody. Its all about controlling
the free time of the dubs. Out of all the meetings, I always found the bookstudy the MOST annoying. One bloody hour, and it wasted an entire
evening on top of the ministry school. For awhile though, I remember the book studies being more casual than the hall meetings, I used to wear jeans
and a sweater, no suit or tie, but then they clamped down again and started enforcing the standard dress code for the book study, even though they
were always in somebodies dingy, drab basement.

Enough with the theory and all these books to study, it's time to bring in the new system.

That reminds me. This one time in band camp...no...wait, it was field service...anyway... we were talking about some countries having all of their meetings in one day and we were saying wouldn't be cool to do that so we could get them all out of the way and have the rest of the week off. But one sister said we were terrible. She actually wanted meetings every night of the week. It was the meetings that kept us spiritual so we needed more of them not less. We just quietly changed the subject and didn't include her in our car group any more.
