So the other night we had a resolution to purchase two 70 inch t.v.'s to hang on either side of the stage. And also a smaller t.v. for the second school room. The cost is $3600 for the t.v.'s and associated components, including the wireless streaming device (i assume roku since they did promote that at meeting a couple months ago). We already have a motorized projection screen that comes out of the ceiling and a projector that we invested a couple thousand dollars in only a few years ago. But the explanation for the new t.v.'s was that it would save time from having to move the podium out of the way of the projector screen and that everyone would be able to have a clear view (i'm pretty sure the 130 inch projector screen was enough for everyone to see).
Anyways it just bugs me that they 1. don't give each individual the right to decide if they wanna donate towards this wasteful project 2. we already had a huge projector screen that worked perfectly fine for their brainwashing videos from their website 3. wouldn't the money be better spent building kingdom halls in less fortunate countries? They build them little shacks while here we need 3 t.v.'s and a projector for some reason.
