Well,I know there is an elder's school here in August. They need the sisters to prepare a meal for them,figures. I say let them pack a lunch like they do for conventions.

Oh yes, there was a pioneer school in this area last year and sisters went and did meals. It's one of those chores that in WT doublespeak becomes...wait for it...a privilege.
Like cleaning the loos.

The week long schools are kicking off in our area at the moment. The first notification of this was quite a while ago, back when I was serving as an elder (almost a year ago). I was was glad to miss out on this! A week is a massive commitment, and annual leave is precious. I can't help but feel sorry for the many self employed bros that will have to forgo a week of income with no holiday pay in order to attend.
Of course they will be expected to be grateful for the wonderful spiritual banquet....
