    So I was at a JW gathering today, and I over heard a brother telling a sister about these new changes. According to him, both one day circuit assemblies will be put together on the same weekend, one on Saturday, the next on Sunday. That way the assembly halls could be used to fit in more circuits as they increase in numbers. New halls means more people and circuits which means they will be able to use the same Assembly hall without the need to build a new one.

    As for the Regional Building Comitee (RBC), I heard him say that the plan was to remove them and instead, make a departmant at that would be incharge of the construction of Kingdom Halls and Watchtower properties worldwide. Not just that, they will be building houses for missionaries (and I think full time pioneers or something having to do with pioneers) and have maintenance teams in charge of maintaining the properties and kingdom halls. He said that the brothers reporting this were very "giddy" as it was "the biggest change" in their history.

    I also overheard something about having rescue teams during disasters. That brothers have their own equipment and such. But I couldnt hear everything so that's all I know.

    That's a GREAT idea.....to make money!!!

    Remove the RBC, then brother big shot brings in his construction company or starts it where he pays the brothers working for him $8 an hour and charges $40 to $80 an hour, has projects all across the USA all the time, charging to the KH's, and he rakes in millions a year!

    I heard something similar about the RBC. That WTS wants it ran by FULL-TIME volunteers at a local level to designated areas. Not sure yet what that will mean for the local brothers who put the building plans together.

    Rumor that a WTS drawing program for building plans may happen too.

    I forgot to mention about C.E.R.T. (Certified Emergency Response Teams). I went to a Regional meeting in Atlanta with the idea that an qualified Elder would put in charge in each city of a Team of 1st responders.

    I can hear it already:

    "This is such a wonderful, loving provision from 'the slave.'"

    It's a department with full-time crews designed to take care of Watchtower assets (to make them more valuable) and locally, it's unpaid elders with a new title to feel important.
