  Shouldn't the literature carts be covered by insurance?

  by Isambard Crater in

  2. beliefs

  i mean, they're in a public place and may get blown into someone by the wind, perhaps hurting a child.

  surely because of their position, some kind of public liability insurance or similar should cover the literature carts/trolleys?

  other charities like oxfam require insurance, i'm pretty sure, or a licence..

  Islam, do an online search to see what your locality requires for public vendors. The same rules and requirements should apply

  Yes. They do require liability insurance to be in a public place

  At least, in my city, I believe they have to provide 3 mil liability insurance in order to set up. And an annual license of around 300 dollars. Which would explain why I have yet to see one

  I am looking forward to the org video being posted all by itself sans commentary. I would like to draw my own conclusions without someone else telling me what to think

  Made in China

  Not sure if congregation or publisher buys cart. Org doesn't give them

  Publisher pays for support boards etc

  And whatever licenses and insurance required by city or municipality which can be substantial

  can any one recommend any good books to read that have come out in the last few years?

  i haven't read a good book in a long time and i'd like to get into reading again.

  i'm not into autobiographies or sports books.

  Let the Great World Spin

  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5941033-let-the-great-world-spin

  And, this one too. If you can handle it. A tough read. It took me a couple readings to get through it. Really really raw and a little too real. A graphic and horrifying story of North Korea

  John: But you also have to think that those pillowcases get rotated around to other people after they are washed, would you wear someone else's underwear even if they were cleaned. Probably not because they touched someone else's junk.

  So. Do you avoid staying in hotels or even other people's homes?

  Just think what has happened on the mattresses and sheets in hotel beds before you booked in. Never mind the floors. Or the towels
