    We in the UK are holding 2 day seminars in September and October for all elders.

    I presume that this is the case worldwide

    These are supposed to be a supplementry course to Last years KMS.

    However our DO eluded to "new information on how elders handle sensitive matters"

    I will be interested to see if there are any changes to procedures, however my knowledge leads to conclude that any changes will be for the benefit of the corporation not any victims.

    Yes, they said that there was to be a follow-up to last years school.

    It'll be interesting to see how they use it to respond to the high-profile issues, raised in the media.

    I'm glad that I won't have to sit through that drivel.

    Yeah,

    My brother, who is an elder here in the state, went to it already Jan or feb of this year.

    He mentioned that they spoke on how to address questions on the "public children abuse". They mentioned the congregation of Othello. My brother lives about 1 hour north of Othello & he thought that was why it had been added to the agenda.

    But another elder from my congregation when I spoke to him & told him the info that my brother told me he didn't deny that it was addressed even in their elder meeting.

    My brother attends a spanish congregation & I attended an english congregation & according to both elders, my brother & Local elder it seems like the WTS followed the same agenda.

    Thanks Capp

    I think your brother went to the 2001/2002Kingdom Ministry School for elders.

    These are supplementry courses for the 2002/2003 service year
