What stands out for me about this whole situation are the details kept secret. At the time of the. "Hey now everyone raise your hands to approve of the remodel plan!" nothing was said about incorporating another congregation. As of yesterday only a handful know of this.
Seems like one of the reasons for ending the book study arrangement was so changes like this could be made. Days were freed up during the week so congregations could merge into existing buildings. Just my two cents.
