Correct. The pioneers will be appointed by the Service Committee. Then the information will be sent to the Society.
The letter was read last night.

Meeting Junkie No More
I know this is off topic but Masterji's comment just reminded me of another reason to avoid meetings - there are more blame fool 'letters' read at these meetings than anything else. BORING, BORING, BORING.
Good thread, though! Interesting to see how everything falls into place once you realize the bottom line is covering their collective ass, legally. It's always about the money.

Interesting....
I am a bit surprised to be honest with you.
While everything makes sense as to what is being said, you have the other item, pedophiles. They do not qualify for any privileges. (assuming the congregation elders are interested enough to handle these idiots)
Not that it matters, because local appointments could be reviewed by the CO (or whoever will take on the CO duties assuming the CO's demise as a paid for position is true) but there could be some problems on who meets the qualifications.
On the other hand, if all reg pioneer apps get rubber stamped at the Service Desk, then the GB might be trying to save more money. I knew the brother in charge of the Pioneer Desk. There is some overhead involved for sure, but it didn't seem to be as much as it was for congregation correspondance....
Off the top of my head, I can't see any clear money advantage. Is it purely a liability thing? I guess. I didn't know pioneers were a potential liability....]
If I were a pioneer who didn't get along with my local elders, I would be quaking right now....

This is confirmed. I spoke to my mom and they read the letter at her service meeting last Tuesday (3/17).
