Indeed it was galling that they reveled in the shine of being on the rbc bit were really just working for a days wages. I didnt even care so much about that i suppose it was just the annaias and sofiria aspect where they claimed to be giving it away but were profiting... small but true story, on the build i talked about earlier in this thread the brother who was doing the foundation work spoke up in a planning meeting about the charges for mobilization and submitting them... after the meeting i mentioned to him that i had a large truck and a CDL and would happily assist in “mobilizations”. My motive was to assist in anyway i could and maybe save the project a few bucks... he turned beat red and stammered something about getting back to me and litterally stormed off... i couldnt understand what had happened until the brother who was paying bills spoke up and explained that by offering to help transport equipment i was cutting into his profits. PROFITS. I was floored but in the end i guess i rationalized that someone was going to get paid so why not a brother

in retrospect: RBCs vs LDCs / the hype about a lot of new construction and subsequent abrupt halt to construction
by Magnum inso, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.
on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?
was it for more and/or better control?

@pontoon- those abuses were rampant here in DC as well. I used to get burned up when i saw brothers charging to “mobilize” equipment... the one difference, i would point out, is that at the end of the build the local hall was still owned locally.

JWs MUST Accept The Watchtower Teachings EVEN When They Are Wrong!
by minimus inisn't it unbelievable that a jehovah's witness must accept whatever the organization says or they can be disfellowshipped??
unless they tell you that their understanding has changed, you cannot believe anything unless they say it's ok. .
many years ago i questioned them about their ridiculous view that whenever the word "heart" was mentioned, it was a literal blood filled organ.

I’ll do you one better min....
about ten years ago DO’s (when the org still had DO’s) were giving a talk that said, and you just cant make this nonsense up, that even when the GB is wrong they are right. Yep. You heard me. Even when wrong they are right because they are gods representatives. I think it end up being in a study article also... it was surreal

Its difficult for me to believe someone is actually rationalizing espns decision.... has it been made clear that the robert lee in questions is asian??? As in his name is in no way connected with the confederate lee, its akin to bruce lee. Not that being named after robert e lee is in anyway disqualifying from covering a football game for god sake. This is unacceptable on every level and blantantly stupid. I hope espn gets hoisted from their own pitard for this.... violent antifa lefty’s dont watch football. Espn is playing to wrong crowd on this

Over 300 DFed apparently went to a northern U.K R.C!
by Isambard Crater inthat's what i've been told by a family member (elder) who went to one of the regional conventions in the north of the u.k lately, who told me the 300 or more disfellowshipped who returned to jehovah by attending show that the end is so close, just like the final talk says..

Actually ruby it shows nothing of the sort. The problem is no one “returns” of their own free will from being df’d. When family and friends are cut off its an inducement to return under duress. In order to know who really return of their own free will the shunning aspect would have to be removed and then see who stays away and who chooses to come back based simply on religious virtue.

Counter-protests to Free Speech Rally in Boston
by Anony Mous ini never thought i would see that in the us, a "free speech rally" (which has distanced itself from and organizers have nothing at all to do with the right, republicans or extremism) is being counter protested by thousands in boston today, the counter protests being organized by a coalition of black supremacists and sjw's.. on the other hand, google is building a database of speech that doesn't align with the left-wing political values.. i'm not sure what youngsters are thinking these days, but free speech used to be the cornerstone of american civilizations only a few decades ago.
the only way to drown out "bad" free speech is more free speech..

“It`s clear what happened at Charlottesville, is fueling this massive rally.
Do you really think the rally would be this huge otherwise?”
i worry when we start saying something is clear simply because we wish it to be so. Why is it clear? The organizers of this event planned it long before the Charlottesville fiasco and have done and said everything they can to distance themselves from that. Is free speech somehow liked to nazis or the kkk??? Is anyone who claims to be a patriotic american going to be viewed a right wing nazi extremest? Its insane to link this boston event and some kkk rally 600 miles and 5 states away.... but thats what just happened.
score one for the left.
