during a comment on the service meeting last night i had to repeat myself 3 times and the brother still couldn't understand what i was saying. stupid congestion.

Maybe it was the accent. :)

ha no no. he also said he had a hard time hearing me during my talk. my head is so congested that i am having trouble with volume. also, the brothers in our hall have a policy that they don't ad...

that sounds like a dumb policy. isn't that why we have microphones, so we can hear everyone. maybe they are too busy (not enough brothers) to handle this little thing.

i am under the impression that it is because we don't have enough qualified brothers.

You only need one brother to control the sound and one or two to walk around with microphones. I think even KH's in Zimbabwe have that many. haha...
