I just heard that my ex-father in law will be attending a weeklong elder's school at Patterson for presiding overseers sometime this year.
Has this come up yet, and does anyone know much about this?

Here are three things I know.
1) It is for all elders.
2) It is a week long.
3) The Oracle will respectfully decline.
Did I mention it is a week long?????

Oracle...
If you are an elder, you should go!
This could be a great way for this board to know what is going on in the underground of the tower. -

If you can arrange to attend with a different District and don't want to attend I am sure one of us evil apostates will be more than willing to attend in your stead

I agree!
You gotta go to keep us all up to date on the silliness!

An elder told me it was a requirement to attend, whether you live in the south or CA, you had to go.
POs will go first, the rest of the BOE in batches.
As far as I know, only Patterson is where the meeting takes place.

I wonder when it will hit the U K? I have not heard any rumours. They will never get 100" attendance, but I expect the pressure to take a week off work and go, will be great. (a sacrifice by their families?)
Anybody else remember the 2 week elders schools held locally but chaired by a Bethel Teacher {David Gibson) in the ear[y 70's ? At the time, I thought it was wonderful.

There are large numbers of elders looking for an excuse not to be elders, but
don't want to admit to anything weak on their part. I could see the tremendous
pressure exerted to make them arrange their vacation and all and go. I could
see the threat of losing their eldership waved in front of them.In the long run, when many don't go, their eldership will be reviewed and the
Borg will let them keep their status. I bet some are hoping they lose their
"special privilege" over this. BUT THEY WON'T. -

Wonder if this will be where they confirm the rumor about removing the office of PO?
It'll take them a week to get over the shock. and make all the new "guidelines" in the margins of their secret policies & procedures flock book.
Exzpecially if they are going to set up 2 camps
Camp 1 - Borg members
Camp 2 - Break a way new Sect
Didn't the Herbert Armstrong group do the same thing?
????mmmmmmmm
