  2. humour

  this "confession" should be aired on the tv channel in regards to the investigation into jw's cover up of child abuse.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8cctyxnr-w. quite fitting, don't you think?

  WARWICK UPDATE

  Safety
  
  Safety is a 'culture'! More precision is involved in the makings of an accident than for things to go right! As a construction organization, we qualify as one of the top 400 construction companies in the country!
  
  UPDATE
  
  We are at the very peak of activity & personnel right now with 3800 workers! 2 Cor 4:8. This pace is unsustainable for an indefinite period of time! From here things will begin to taper off. During August the work by all major outside contractors will be finished. In September the # of Volunteer Workers needed will begin to decline.
  
  Department Reports: Volunteer Desk
  
  Staff: 33 full time workers & 35 part time & remote volunteers
  Workers: We keep track of 16,000+ workers plus 7688 RBC/Local Volunteers for a grand total of 23,500!
  This week: 1420 - Temporary & Regular Bethelites; 1013 – 3 month workers; 793 - CG workers; 239 - Short Term
  Volunteers, 343 Commuter’s & 94 Remote Volunteers = 3902 plus 787 local & RBC weekend support workers
  
  Challenges: 1) Keeping track of workers! Wallkill typically has 50 Temp Workers each week. Warwick has 1000! 2) Finding workers with 3 mo. availability is difficult. Reminds us of a Gilead Graduation comment: "You need to put your pen down & let Jehovah write the script!" Decisive action to simplify your life is needed. 3) Finding willing single brothers; 4) Specific skills at different phases of the project, right now: commercial window installers, those who do wall vinyl, plasters & pipe fitters
  
  Transportation
  
  Staff: 140 total - 25 are Regular & Temp Bethelites, 60 Sprinter drivers, 32 RBC/LDC drivers & 16 local friends who use their personal vehicles!
  
  Each day we are moving the # of people equal to the size of Wallkill plus 700 for a total of about 2912 workers EACH morning & evening! We have a fleet of 151 vehicles = 92 sprinters, 24 mini-vans & 35 busses.
  
  Hotels are housing workers from Newark NJ to Fishkill & Middletown NY! Each weekend to pickup & return brothers to the airport we drive an average of 6300 miles! That is like driving to South America!
  
  Food
  
  Staff: 106 Regular & Temporary Bethelites plus commuters
  We maintain 2.5 kitchens & 8 dining rooms between both Tuxedo & Warwick. Weekly 17,500 sandwiches & wraps are made & 4250# of deli meat is used; Daily 8500 eggs go in a scrambled egg breakfast & 225 gals of coffee is consumed daily; a pancake breakfast requires: 300# flour to make 100 gal of batter for 5700 pancakes!
  
  We operate 24 hr /day: Breakfast cooks arrive at 2:30 am, Waiters at 5:30 am, Kitchen crew 8 am. A 2nd shift works from 3 pm to 12 pm 5 days/wk & there is a shift working from 4 pm to 3 am 4 days/wk.
  
  Procurement
  
  Staff: 33 workers, 20 at the Montgomery Warehouse, 10 process requisitions & 3 now with demobilization. Monthly: 8-10,000 requisitions are received; Weekly: 175 truckloads of materials are handled; Daily: 10-12 trucks deliver material between Montgomery & Warwick & 800 pallet go to Warwick weekly.
  
  Demobilization: We will need to resell the vehicles, tools & equipment used here! A HUGE job! Approval has been given to produce a commercial to market the equipment for sale (i.e. Batch Plant) This is on the web & also ads placed in trade journals. EVERY piece of equipment on the site will have to be resold for maximum $ value to make best use of dedicated funds! This includes 150,000 different tools & 4-500 pieces of equipment!

  Have you ever noticed that know one uses first names at the KH? It is how are you Brother Jones? How are you Sister Smith? Do you want to go in service Brother Clark? It is our turn to clean the Hall Sister Barber.

  Why don't JW's use first names when greeting or talking to one another at the KH?

  Why did the org "forgive" KH mortgages?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know this has been discussed, but i think it's good that topics like this get brought back up from time to time for the sake of newbies and lurkers, plus, i have a question (related at end of post).. the org brags about "forgiving" kh mortgages as if it's so loving and giving.

  i put the word in quotation marks because most of us realize it wasn't forgiving anything.

  the new arrangement should actually bring it far more money.. for example, suppose there are twenty congregations total.

  I borrow money from a bank to buy a new house. I pay the bank back in 20 years with interest. After 20 years of making payments to the bank, now the bank owns my house. The bank then forgives my loan after I pay the house off, as long as I make the same payment each month to the bank for forever.
