Blondie is right about the elders. They send the group out, but have an important
meeting with other elders. They get out to meet the group after a delay to
shepherd or wait for Sister Late. They leave early as Blondie mentioned.
On Sunday, after the meeting, they have important stuff to do instead of meet
with the group.
These Kingdom Ministry articles or reminders from C.O.'s or at Conventions come
out periodically. They seem to have a tiny effect for a tiny while, then back to
the same-old same-old. Do you really think the car group will get out of the car
and "preach" if the return visit lasts awhile? No- especially not in January. The
article would better serve April or May, while it is fresh in minds. Lingering at the
Hall does stop for a time, but switches to somewhere outside the Hall. Those
breaks- some things will never change.
