ok, so i am at my In-laws house and i see a letter from the society that is laying out . it seems that the elders school is going on between february and june on 2008. they want you to mark EVERY week you are available to come to the school (to increase your chance of being selected). they even have a spot if you are not going to attend. my in law is retired and the po, so i think he will make time to go, he loves being involved . but i do not see how many elders from my hall or the ones with jobs will take off a week to go.....
ok, got some more info (just a little ) on the elders school at bethel.

When I went to the Elders school, it was mandatory for all to be there. Has this changed?

Take a week off of work? why? Is it held somewhere special or at the hell?

There's no way they will be able to get all of the elders to the school in Patterson within a reasonable amount of time. PO's, priveledged first, then the Assembly Halls will have to open up (satellite hook up?). 10,000 congs, times 5 elders = 50,000 "bros." 1000 a week for a year? Unless this is just the start of a year in and year out program.
Will be interesting to see how it rolls along.

However this shakes out, do we have at least one emissary from JWD who will attend?

If what they have to say at this elders' school is soooo important, Zzzzzzzzz you would think they'd use a more efficient way of disseminating the information.
