There's an interesting little change hidden there. Item 6 has the meeting attendance being sent with the report. As far as I know, it was only checked by the CO before. Maybe they are trying to identify even more potential congs to merge.

I knew Richard many years ago and he always seemed to be a decent guy. He is a long term Bethelite who went to Gilead a couple of years ago - he presented the class speech at the graduation shown on borg tv. My guess is that he is being groomed for "bigger" things - at least a position on the uk branch committee, maybe a move to Warwick.
Incidently, those very posh houses have had ordinary bethelites - janitors etc - also staying in them. My experience has been that system of bidding for rooms based on number of years full-time service is pretty fair.
None of which changes the fact that they are going to make loads of money from from selling the houses.

Just to clarify what the Global Assistance Arrangement is supposed to be - at one time congregations insured their own Halls and contents. At some point the WTS muscled in on it with the GAA and effectively forced all congregations to use it. Of course, in practice no congregation has ever made a claim as far as I'm aware, they just have to take care of repairs themselves. So in reality this is just another money making scheme.

Do You See "The Elephant In The Room" At This JW Regional Convention?
by JW GoneBad insomeone posted this image on their facebook page of a recent jw rc showing a rather petite group of baptismal candidates.
notice there are nearly 75 seats (5 rows) reserved for the occasion.
by my count...it looks like between 17 to 19 were baptized...with total attendance of 6,000. the youngest among them looks like between 9 and 11 years old.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet. I'm not certain it has been official policy, but the practice is to also write disfellowshipped addresses on territory cards. Many are probably quite happy to never be called on, but it is now their decision.

A hairdresser is cutting a young man's hair and asks him what he does. He tells her he sets up food banks to help the poor. She decides not to charge him.
The next morning when she gets to work there is a bunch of flowers and a thank you note from him.
Later, another young man comes in. She asks him what he does and he tells her he helps the homeless. She decides not to charge him.
The next morning when she gets to work there is a box of chocolates and a thank you note from him.
Later, another young man comes in. She asks him what he does and he tells her he is a pioneer and explains what that means. She decides not to charge him.
The next morning when she gets to work there are 20 pioneers waiting.

Why the BIG 4.5 day elder "school"?
by eyeuse2badub injust wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?
good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!
the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.

I think what is happening is that the two different "schools" for elders are being confused here.
Every 3 years roughly there is a Kingdom Ministry Scool lasting about 2 days which takes place evrywhere at about the same time. It covers sttuff from the elders book, letters from the society and does indeed contain many videos these days. I think the next of these is at the end of this year.
There is also a "school" for congregation elders which is more like a pioneer school. Over several years the programme is delivered around the world to about 30 at a time. It lasts a full week, though I think it ends on friday lunchtime. It is supposed to be about building up and encouraging elders and training them to be better speakers. There is a lot of question and answer (KMS is mostly talks).but probably videos these days as well.
