Use of Members' Homes During the Feast
MAY 14, 1982
With everyone beginning to make definite plans for the Feast, it is neces
sary to address a problem that occurred at the Feast last year. At one site
there were hard feelings over how much should be paid for the use of a mem
ber's home during the Feast. This kind of problem can be easily resolved if
both parties are willing to do one thing--give.
The fact that motels and other establishments might charge large amounts
for their accommodations is no justification to also rent one's own home to
a member for a large sum. If the renter only uses the home for eight days,
that's only one-fourth of a month. In no case should the amount exceed the
normal monthly rent or mortgage payment.
On the other hand, the Feast-goer who wants to live in another member's home
during the Feast should not assume that it should be cheap. If he feels
there are advantages _to renting a home instead of a motel or condominium, he

Questions and Answers
Question: Is it all right to have a woman director for the Church
choir?
Answer:
Women should not direct adult choirs in God's Church. There are
a number of reasons for this.
The primary reason is that the
choir director is in a position of leadership and therefore must
exercise authority over the individual choir members--both men
and women. Having a woman in this position would be contrary to
Paul's instruction concerning women's conduct within the Church
and does not set a right example for the congregation.·
