    The rank & files have not offered enough rooms for the international delegates and missionaries who have no money for hotel rooms.

    So maybe the publishers have to endure a 20 minute guilt trip about hospitality.

    So brothers & sisters, let us read together:

    (Romans 12:13)  Share with the holy ones according to their needs. Follow the course of hospitality.

    (Hebrews 13:2) . . .Do not forget hospitality, for through it some, unknown to themselves, entertained angels. . .

    I'm guessing it must be a regional thing. I live in the region that was scolded about the Detroit convention. Maybe we will be recieving a follow up tongue lashing. As I said before, the elders attended a special meeeting 2 weeks ago regarding the convention.

    I guarantee you it will have something to do with money.

    Well, considering how well they drive it....

    Apparently we will recieve a sales pitch video telling us to go to Detroit. And people keep trying to deny the org is dying. This is unprecedented. The GB is losing control and looks desperate.

    @ Ruby 456

    They are doing this in all countries as I understand.

    Something similar is being done in Oz, although we aren't aware

    of outside involvement but the congregations involved have been

    asked to put on a bit of a gig to show the international bros

    what " Aussies are all about". Congs are being asked to host either 56

    or 112 delegates for a day including fs, meals in bros homes culminating

    in a congregation "get together".

    The day will commence 1 pm and run till around 9 pm.

    This has been handled separate to any local needs,,,, we still cop the 'do more' talks.

    Hi jonah

    sorry I deleted part of my post as I did not realise that other countries were doing the same and that this was general news now(trying to keep a low profile here) and yes I realised that this would probably not be part of the local needs the thread is asking about. I only happened to find out because a friend of a friend of a friend auditioned.

    I somehow think that there may be some independent funding going on otherwise why would Jehovah's witnesses go to the trouble?
