Zoom Guidelines for Meeting Assignments.
I love how they're supposed to look for disturbances or immodest dress. I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh? :P

You got that right! They even tell the conductor what to say in his prayer!

"Join the meeting by 20 minutes early," makes no sense.
I think they're trying to say, "Join the meeting no later than 20 minutes early."
If you bother to put something in writing, you should bother to get it right.

Good point!

I don't believe this is (directly) from the Society. They look like instructions a particular congregation is using.
The muting 10 minutes before the meeting to listen to prerecorded music seems to be taken from how they do at conventions and assemblies. IMO, applying this to a local meeting where the local friends are looking forward to chewing the fat before the meeting, this seems a bit heavy handed.
At the local meetings where I am at the chairman will make an announcement that the meeting is going to start in a few moments (maybe a minute or less before meeting time) and he will then mute everyone.
If the Society were to go with this 10 minutes of enforced silence before local meetings I don't think it would be well received. I could see many using the 10 minutes of silence to do other things (dishes, start laundry, etc). Having a 10 minute music period may work when you are out of town for a whole day convention. But doing that for a 1:45 length local meeting (where you are sitting at home) doesn't seem like it would work very well.
This seems to be an individual congregations instructions to their AV/Chairmen. Interesting as an insight into how controlled the congregations and their meetings are. This sort of thing will be familiar to any one involved in any aspect of this.
They take this stuff SERIOUSLY!

Yes, that is for a certain congregation and not from headquarters. Usually there would be a "letterhead" if it were from headquarters. Or a number at the lower left-hand corner.
Many thanks!

That seems to use a specific person's name several times. Is that going to possibly get someone in trouble that isn't ready to be in trouble?
Hi,
These instructions are true.
We had same instructions before the special talk.
If it was the local congregation initiative, non English speaking country couldn't receive same instructions.
Missing point is that ,all the attendant must be identified and renamed correctly.we have admin. Privileges to do that.
