My Mom had mentioned they heard rumors in their town that bookstudy was being completely eliminated. I told her I heard it was being consolidated - this is last week. Today when the announcement was read (she is up north 300 miles from here) she emails me totally freaking out how I know all this stuff ahead of time, all the time and upset how it's always right. She's p.o.'d that I always seem to find out this confidential information first and that it's right - even though she already knew something about it.
Our elders though announced last Sunday that there would be a big announcement this week (they wern't suppossed to do that) and they mentioned it at bookstudy yesterday as well. Not as bad as in my Father in Law's congregation, they read the wrong letter at the bookstudy. They were to read the letter with convention reminders 3 times (Sunday, service meeting, and bookstudy) and instead of reading that one the PO read the letter about the bookstudy arrangement. This was on Tuesday the 22nd.Then I guess there PO called everyone in the group and said that he read the wrong letter and not to tell anyone cuz no one is to know!
