Tone of the current literature
by TheListener ini haven't started a thread in some time but this is something that has got me thinking.
i want to know if i'm off-base here or if others have noticed this too.is.. over the last several months (perhaps 6-9) i feel that the tone of the wts and kms have been very strong.
not strong in the sense of legalistic do's and don'ts but strong in the sense of do more!!!!

Tracking U.S. Growth through KMs
by TheListener into get about 30,000 people baptized during the service year the dubs need to dunk about 2,500 people a month.
i've been following their dunking numbers with the kms and they are about on, maybe a little low.
i've also noticed that the overall number of u.s. dubs isn't really increasing too much even with the new dunkees.

Mindless Meetings and Bored Dubs
by TheListener in"we'd like to excuse those that have talks in the second school, and those that would like to listen.".
alright, so i am sitting at the meeting last week and i hear that very typical repetitive announcement.
i start to look around and i realize that it is the same people every week who go to the back to sit in the second school.

Lessons require less thinking
by TheListener ini have noticed something for the last couple of years.
the lessons appear to me much easier and less meaty (this has been discussed at length).
however, something i haven't seen discussed too often is the changes that have occurred in the thinking portion of preparing for the meetings.
