  "Now they are dumped into the street, with a $600 monthly check and a mandate to preach 120 or more hours a month"--- What? can you elaborate? who gets $600 a month? ex bethelites? for how long?

  Is this basically what all the CO visits will be like coming up? Same topic? or do CO's have leeway in what their visit will consist of?

  the royal commission published it's redress report today.

  it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.

  all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.

  Yes, all the papers that did stories (usually in the religion section) about the convention coming to town should also be made aware of this.
