I asked the Brother after the specifically, "6 for our Region or only 6 built here in the States." His reply:" 6 in the States".
I will ask him again tomorrow, in case I wasn't clear enough in my question.

6 New Kingdom Halls Built In The US This Year
by James Jack inon our local needs part tonight, the elder (on the local ldc), conducting the part, said he just got back from a meeting in memphis tn with members from the us branch rdc conducting the meeting.
they mentioned that only 6 new kingdom halls and 2 major re-models were completed in 2016.
"it may seem like a small accomplishment, considering under the old rbc arrangement there was some 700 projects on the average each year being done", "but, this is going 5-10 years of training to kick this new program into optima production".

At the meeting, The one conducting also said that "Halls that are less than 25 miles from each other only having 1 or 2 assigned, will be closely looked at as to whether they could be reassigned to another hall, and the Kingdom Hall sold off. That way dedicated funds are better utilized."

Yes, I read your earlier post. But this Brother was throwing around these low number of accomplishments, and I was taken a back. Such a major difference from the RBC days where there was at least a building project per month just for our RBC and there were some 100 different RBC's throughout the U.S. -

On our Local Needs part tonight, the Elder (On the local LDC), conducting the part, said he just got back from a Meeting in Memphis TN with Members from the US Branch RDC conducting the meeting. They mentioned that only 6 New Kingdom Halls and 2 Major Re-Models were completed in 2016. "It may seem like a small accomplishment, considering under the Old RBC arrangement there was some 700 projects on the average each year being done", "but, this is going 5-10 years of training to kick this new program into optima production". Then he added, "We have applications on hand if you want to be a part of this new arrangement that Jehovah's Organization has put into place".
I'm thinking, boy, they must be building up a large cash reserve.

I have a hard time wrapping head around this one because I lived in the area for a long time and have many family and friends still there. This guy was a real perv and had to so many children.

Confirmed by a family friend and Elder who lives in the area! He was a Pioneer Elder in a Port St Lucie (River View Congregation) FL, Convention and Assembly Speaker, A"Shining Star" of the Circuit and had served at Bethel for several years. Was sexually abusing his step daughter from age 8 to 12. His wife has divorced him and moved back to Tennessee. What does that tell you about his bible based trained conscience for the whole 4 years of abusing a young child, serving as an Elder, while having these "many privileges"? Explain this one Watchtower!

A family member just confirmed all the details revealed here. I'm surprised this story did not get more National attention. All efforts were made to keep Jehovah's name out of this, I was told, and they have done a good job at that!
How can the wife not go public with this? 4 years of Sexual Abuse on your Pre-teen girl. I would be sick to the core. OMG, Where is the outrage? How can those in that Congregation look in the eyes of that family and not ask for blood? How did the Holy Spirit allow this Elder, give talks on the Convention and Circuit level for 4 years, while this Sexual Pervert committed these continuous sexual acts on an innocent child!!! At least the guy is still in jail. But no changes in JW's response to these type of things.

The disappearance of the Special Committees
by Hecce inas a part of the wt judicial arrangement, for many years there was a sort of review procedure called special committee; basically if a person was not happy with a decision or a particular situation they were allowed to write a letter to the society raisin their concerns.. the majority of these complaints were answered with a standard letter with the counsel of “leave matters to jehovah”.
in some instances the matter was serious enough to warrant the need for a special investigation of the case to be done by a special committee.. at one time the travelling overseers were part of this arrangement; eventually they were dropped out of these cases due to the fact of their tremendous input on the decisions and also the implications when a wrong decision was reached.. the reason behind this procedure was that in matters that were really complicated it was not fair to make a decision based in letters and the clearest way was to have “boots on the ground”.
normally a group of local brothers, appointed for this duty heard the cases and make recommendations to the branch.

It is very rare that the Appeal Committee disagrees with the original Committee, but it does happen. You tell the person some BS statement that Clarification is needed by the Branch, and we will get back with you on our decision. Then the Branch will consider both Committees findings and render a decision.
By the way, In 21 years of serving and probably serving on some 100 Hearings, never had one Appealed. We thoroughly had the facts, previous Council given, stacks of WT articles and Scriptures to that situation (Whether it applied Or not), sort of a Bully tactic because of your position.
On some earlier posts of mine, I mentioned some of my regrets and steps I took to correct it
