  Canada Branch invests in the future

  by Simon Morley in

  in canada the total long term investments of canadian registered charities is $14.7 billion.

  this is only long term investments and does not include cash, inventory, land and buildings etc.

  keep in mind the information is volunteered by the charity and not verified by the canada revenue agency.

  Fundraising without an identifiable use or need for the proceeds 63. Registered charities can only raise funds that are necessary to fulfill their mandates. Fundraising activities should not be undertaken simply because the charity has the opportunity to raise additional funds. There must be an identified use or need for the money. Depending on a charity’s particular circumstances, an identified use or need could include funds required for current and ongoing charitable (and other acceptable) activities or funds to be maintained as reserves. However, when a charity has sufficient income for its identified uses or needs, the need for new fundraising may be questionable

  CRA should maybe take a peek at the cashgrab.

  Sorry about your stroke.

  I always had high b/p, and always feared heart attack or stroke.

  Although I take pills, after being punted out, my b/p is the lowest it's been in 25 years.

  Good health to you.

  I remember explaining as the Accounts Servant to the PO certain things that we, as a charity, needed to follow.

  He grumbled "Those are just men's rules!"

  My Elderette is attempting to change the subject again

  2. bible

  we were in the middle of discussing their use of god's personal name, and miss k was not able to find one place in the bible, where jesus actually said the name out loud (that wasn't a quote from the ot).

  we had started out by talking about jesus being "the way, the truth and the life.

  " then she stated that one of the purposes of jesus' coming to earth, was "to make god's name known.

  One question I would like answered, as a parent, " How bad were your children when you decided to stop loving them?"

  "How bad were they, then, that you decided that they should be executed?"

  My wife is never going to wake up.

  what do you do when you believe in your heart that your spouse is never going to wake up to the tatt?

  when you're sick of the cherade of pretending you can deal with the spiritual division when you dont think you can anymore.

  when you're convinced that your spouse is so decieved she is lost in a desert and is fine with living by the mirage.

  So, we continue to face mounting challenges with 607 vs 587 (20 year differential), and the generation dying out.

  Therefore, after a personal (420 free - honest) research and revelation, it would appear that 587 is the correct launch date.

  With respect to the 7 times, Russell had been influenced by John A. Brown into using a year of 360 days, when prescience would most surely indicate that AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY (2014) one would use the number of days of that respective calendar, i.e.. 365 1/4 days, an additional 5.25 days per year.

  So, 7 x 5.25 = 36.75, which, using the biblical principle of rounding down, is 36 years. (A day for a year).

  Adding the 20 year differential to the 36 years now gives us 56 years, which when added to 1914 CE, brings us to 1970 CE.

  When we ask the god Google, the significance of 1970, it tells us that EARTH Day began 4/22/1970 (note NOT 4/20).

  And who came to the aid of the woman (Rev. 12:16)?

  Was it not THE EARTH?

  What was the difference in the feet of Daniel's statue?

  The clay, from THE EARTH, would not mix with the iron.

  This change of course, crystallized after the decade of the 60's, in other words, in 1970.

  Therefore, one of the most famous generations of all-time, hippies, will not completely pass away, before all these things have occurred.

  I guess no one here would be working the video at the RC.

  What could liven it up a bit is to slip in the video for the deaf.
