At a recent CA. The 'brother' giving the last talk. Didn't just thank the departments e.g. The Volunteers, The Attendants, The Cleaners he actually thanked the 'top-dogs' by name. e.g. The Assembly Hall Caretaker, and his Assistant. Anyone else had this or is it a strange one-off.
I've always been against 'names' being used. Even at a meeting why does the name of the 'brother' giving the Public Talk need to announced. Isn't the material from the FDS; the speaker just being a tool. We've always been told to look beyond the speaker to the material.
There's always been a big issue that we don't know who writes the literature so as not to bring 'personal glory' to anyone. Why should it be any different with one delivering a talk?
