Dear truthseeker,
I have one word...CONTROL!!!!! Rules and laws for everything!! It can't help but remind me of the Scribes & Pharasis!! Burden the people down!! It is no wonder they can choose our own toilet paper!!
Think about too, maybe the Society isn't recieving a direct kickback from the hotels, (although NOTHING would suprise me anymore!!) but if the rank and file get a break on the hotel, then they can take that money saved and feel good about using it to contribute even more at the assembly. Since many are on fixed incomes, paying full price for a room, may not alllow too much left over for the contribution box!! And we all know where that money is usually sent after the assembly!!
Just a thought..
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
