I catch your drift Simon, but if it had been stated in the newspaper article that a person or people had been injured or killed I don't think "anyone" (*) who generally posts on your forum would have gloated over it or gleefully made a joke of it.
For a cart to get trashed with no injuries is a quite amusing if insignificant event isn't it?
(*) Anyone normal that is!
according to the uk charity commission, my old kingdom hall is hemorrhaging money and less is coming in.
long may it continue.. any ideas what a crappy, run down, shack of a kh spends £49,472.87 on in three years?
they were praying for a new hall for about 10 years until bethel basically stole it off them to build warwick.. .
Every congo is a separate charity.
Of course the branch never requests money. It asks the elders (AKA trustees of the congo charity) to consider what they'd like to propose giving and then of course the elders must put a resolution to the congo in such away that no-one dare vote against.
A simple majority "yes" vote of baptised publishers makes it a done deal and the resolution goes through.
Social pressure at its finest and all the little faithful sisters (who make up the majority) bob their heads and raise their hands in agreement.
The few who don't like it might abstain but numbers are never mentioned beyond "that's a clear majority" by the speaker.
i sent the following letter to my older brother, a jw elder in grand prairie, texas, who actively shuns me since i left the religion for conscientious reasons two years ago.. may 11, 2017. dear ronnie,.
in the opening scenes of the movie gone with the wind, a field worker hollers out, “”quttin’ time!” big sam protests, saying, “i’s da fo’man on tara.
i sez when it’s quittin’ time.
Excellent letter - hopefully it wasn't "pearls before swine" ...
Fingers crossed.

No. It can't see it says anyone was hurt.
Care to clarify please, Simon?

My two penn'orth ...
You can bet your bottom dollar that a five figure or higher sum in the spending column after about 2013 is a sure sign that the "building fund" that the bros and sisters were building up for the refurb of their own hall has been sent to London Bethel for the vanity project at Chelmsford.
Of course when that has been funded by the sale of the London properties (and then some) and the printing presses finally grind to a halt for the last time and even more deluded bethelites get booted to the kerb - well, then the whole lump sum which will surely be well into the millions will disappear in a puff of smoke to WAR-WICK.
i bleed for the poor souls caught in that.
no sprinkler system in that domestic building..!.
tragically the govts various of london learned nothing during the world war..
London Bethel on the Ridgeway is less than 10 miles away. I bet they've been sending supplies and donations by the truckload.
i've seen very few carts in western australia.
the only one i have seen is near the front entrance of the perth royal hospital and on the several occasions that i have seen it, they are there all day, at least during the week.
i've stopped and had long conversations twice now and both times when i have approached them they've told me to take whatever publications interest me and then we've started talking.this last visit i brought up the royal commission.
Brilliant job Listener - just brilliant.
Maybe we should praise the Nazis for "being so well organised" in their death camps and commend them on their nice neat uniforms too.
Whitewashed Graves!
watching rated r movies?
maybe a little gambling in vegas?
when i was in high school i went to the mall with my friend at the time, who happened to be a female.
When I was fifteen my school arranged a coach trip to London for some class project - it meant getting home at about 8 pm and shock horror "I WOULD MISS THE MEETING!" and have BAD ASSOCIATION!"
My Father agreed (laid back type) - my mother laid a guilt trip on me.
If she had known that I had SHOCK HORROR walked a female classmate home from the bus stop afterwards in the dark (completely innocently) she would have had a fit.
Fortunately they were at the meeting at 8 pm.
the time remaining is... elastic.. .

Overlapping.
I think the last one that was a separate letter headed from the GB was about the group study being dropped.
This one looks like the usual yearbook boasting session opening letter.
