    Yet another Circuit Assembly Hall is going to be sold off!

    They've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs. Elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like Montreal.

    They said that it isn't getting a lot of use, but whose decision was it to reduce the number of congregations assigned there by half in the first place and send people to meet several hours away farther?

    They 86'ed the book study at people's homes because of gas expenses, and now they aren't worried about the gas and probably hotel expenses when they're assigning congregations to go so frelling and fracking far away?!?!

    Do they somehow get some kind of profit from the hotels I wonder?

    Follow the money.

    Yeah, I'm interested in knowing exactly which one we're talking about...

    Potentially big impact on the family...

    This is hardly the action of an organization that is flourishing in terms of growth rates.

    It also appears a contradiction to delete the weekly stand alone Book Study to help reduce fuel costs and then assign the local congregations to circuit assembly venues in more distant locations, requiring hours of driving.

    Another good reason to stop going to those snore fests. Take your family to a nice weekend holiday. It will be more memorable and cost less money.

    Thanks, Oppostate! That's their CAH. My in-laws are nearly 90 years old and travel too far for their assemblies already. I can't imagine that they will be able to travel an even greater distance.
