Most of us were disappointed we didn't get to use the pool or whatever. That is an excellent double standard you just brought to light.

For some of these BB's, sermonizing is what they thrive by doing. If that opportunity was taken away from them, who knows if they would even stay in the LC. I think RK has been quoted as saying that he "won't step aside for anyone", in reference to his place at the podium.
What I always found a bit humorous was that in meetings where everyone was allocated a certain amount of time to speak, everyone would start moaning and groaning as soon as someone went over time. When a BB or elder goes 30 minutes too long, no one would give it a second thought. It just goes to show the kind of regard the BB's get as opposed to the average Joe.
