Meeting bag is as follows:
BE book
All scripture
KM
School schedule for this and next year
Bible
Song book
Bible Teach book
OD book (organized)
pens
notebook
I think that's all. oh and any material for the school or service meeting that night,

Oh an of course my magazine and tract holder.

Answer 1

You mean right now? An Entomology textbook and three notebooks.

My school bag doubles as my service bag :-))

So when it is "serving" as a service bag, it usually has my Bible in it, a small Bible in French, What Does the Bible Really Teach in several languages, and as many magazines as space allows. And a note book.

Oh, a bar of chocolate too. ;-)

EDIT: Hey, Chewy- your bag is really THEOCRATIC!!!

Answer 2

*claps hands* What a fun topic for a change!

I used to carry such a big bag I could hardly move it lol. I had everything in it (or so it seemed). Our former P.O. used to pick on me (good naturedly) that I was the only person he ever knew who placed "Mankind's Search For God" while working door-to-door. I had it with me :)
I placed lots of magazines but never had any return calls.
Then we were counseled to start placing less material and focus more on RV's and Studies. And ever so slowly, my bag shrunk down to nothing.
I wear a large fanny pack everywhere I go. I have my Bible/Reasoning book in it at all times with a few tracts in it. When out in Service, I have my tract folder in it as well as a book or two (Bible Teach book or Greatest Man). My money, ID cards go into zipper slots at the side of the pack and at the front. It weighs about 5 pounds lol but it's MUCH better on my back! I also wear my iPod touch which I copy the meeting schedule and daily text into. I use it for my contacts.
If it's going to be a slow day or the group has a lot of studies (usually in the afternoon), I'll bring along a Wal-mart bag with my study material so I can do that when the others are occupied.

Nowadays, I only work with tracts. I'm much more productive and effective (though I still have no RV's or studies *sigh*- seems it's easy finding people ONCE, but after that, they're never home again).

Any how, great thread!

Answer 3

In my service bag I carry the Bible, of course :)
reasoning book, bible teach book, several diff mag and tracts (WT & Awake, Require brochure, What Happens to Us When We Die, When Someone You Love Dies, and Comfort for the Depressed... I try to have these as well as others), daily text, small note book for names and not at homes, pens, mints, a couple dollars to help with gas just in case I end up riding with someone else.

Answer 10

Besides the obvious bibles and theocratic tools, many Jehovah's Witness bookbags contain such practicalities as sunscreen, self-adhesive bandages, aspirin or similar, and perhaps a cellular telephone (on vibrate or silent mode).
