I also was given a NT when I first came. This was about 4 years later in Irving. This may be a surprise to many but the brothers working full time on the meeting hall were discouraged from going to the meetings. We were told directly that it wasn't necessary. I saw that the saints were really struggling during this time and felt especially burdened to go to meetings and speak words of encouragement. I find it interesting that I rarely saw John Pester in those meetings (he was in charge of the stone crew, which I was a member) and yet he is now an elder of the church.
