Do They Stay With Members? - I'm guessing it depends on what sort of accommodation they can offer.
If it's a large detached house with at least 5 en-suite bed rooms and excellent home security, then bring it on.
If it's a flat in an inner-city tower block, or a settee in the living room, then ...
Pretty sure they don't crash on a relative's hide-a-bed.
How many times are topics like this one being opened, with the same BS of people who even havent met a member of the GB. Ridiculous.

The whole "slave class" is total bullshit.
I'm fascinated by the JW's choice of the word of "slave" over the word "servant." A slave usually has no agency and is owned. A servant generally has more agency and responsibility than a slave. In fact, the NWT is the only bible translation that uses the word slave that I know of. Also, slaves also don't generally fly Business Class but are generally chained in the cargo hold!
Based on my reading, the Lord encourages us to think of Him as our Father and us as His Children, and John says that "when we see Him, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." (1 John 3:2) Certainly they will see this as the 144,000 John-class individuals, but still, this is hardly slave status!
In the past, the GB have said they're not leaders of the Society; they simply serve as a conduit of Jehovah's will. From God's mouth to their ears!
Lett stays with a wealthy brother in a luxury home when he visits family down south. Plays golf for free , eats for free, etc. I'm sure there is a green handshake in there and who knows what else. This wealthy brother can't serve in the cong. because of "something in his past". ????????
Whatever it is, Lett doesn't have a personal problem with it obviously. How generous of him.
perhaps they are very weary now to expose themselves and their spouses to private scrutiny, they never can be sure of everlasting loyalty anymore.
