I was reading a post and you mentioned that the Organization would ask publishers whose houses were repaired to send the Insurance money to them. That is so true! I organized groups to do relief work on a regular basis. We did work in Florida, Alabama, MS, LA. I asked a member of the RBC, what happens if the friends don't send in the money. He didn't have an answer. After Katrina, that happened. The Organization got hammered, many in that area had no Insurance. So that arrangement to repair homes was ended. Now, the only relief work is to cleanup( manual labor), and tarp roofs

Do CO's get a check each time they have a convention?
by suavojr induring our weekend convention with the co i noticed he gets his expenses paid for.
my question is if the co then summits another expense report on the following day?
the circuit is split in a and b, so therefore the co meets with the other half the next day.

The CO's do very well for themselves, that is the ones who are smart enough to put some back. Don Wallace(Alabama, USA), a former DO, CO, paid in cash for a house to be built for him in Scottsboro Alabama. I asked him how he was able to pay for it and he said: " while a lot of the other Traveling Brother's were taking lavished vacations, me and Arlene saved our money for the day when we would have to come off the road".

Strange
by Jrjw ina couple of times at the meetings this year we've been told that in the future we might get some strange directions from the society that might not make any sense to us.
then they've said will we show our loyalty to jehovah by still obeying?
seems a rather unusual thing to say.

At our last Servant Meeting with the CO, this article was covered again. He said "we" would receive these orders, being "Appointed Men", and that the Publishers need to be completely trusting us, as faithful men, to take the lead in carrying out these orders.
At another meeting mid week meeting, they showed the "Bunker Video". The statement from our Service Overseer was: "Those Brothers and Sisters survived because they were loyal and obedient. Our chance to show our Loyalty and Obedience is coming soon." He then referenced this Watchtower.
“At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.” - Watchtower, November 2013 Study Edition, “Seven Shepherds, Eight Dukes,” paragraph 17
