Can the local groups chose which talk for a given day? How about the songs? Anything else?
Local Discretion ?

The congregation talk coordinator or COBE will arrage a schedule of public talks for regular weeks and the speaker decides the opening song.

The opening songs are a small selection based on the script of the talk. So at the header of the talk there is typically a list of 3-5 songs the speaker can pick from, the direction is to pick songs that weren’t used in the last/next few meetings (there are some that disregard that and then you get situations where the song for the talk and watchtower study is the same) and there is an outline with sentences and scriptures he has to stick to for the talk.
Everything is highly produced, there isn’t much left to personal choice.
