The tow of Warwick better understand who they're dealing with on the no preaching deal. I can picture the WTBS saying they won't organize preaching efforts in town - and then telling them that they can't stop members from talking about their beliefs. So the town will have a gazillion guys running around talking to people in stores or some goofy thing. Then some day we'll read about how Andre found the "truth" while waiting in line at the Starbucks in Warwick.

65intel on warwick project
by stuckinamovement inthe committee assigned to build the new complex was called into a meeting with the governing body.
they were told " you finish this project by january 1 2017. we want the keys to the complex and will be headquartered there by that date, do you understand?".
when the brothers protested and said that it would take 6 years for the project to be complete and if they moved that fast there would be many mistakes, the gb responded, "we don't care, that is your deadline".

This project probably has nothing to do with lawsuits, as they can't hide assets just by moving them around. It MIGHT make collecting the money harder, but it would be funny if somebody like Candace foreclosed a lein on this place.
Also 3 1/2 years is not a tough time line if they have their permits in place (and probably impossible if they don't). Having the place built by people that know what they're doing makes sense, and maybe a legal requirement to get permits.

Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?
by Simon inthis may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.
there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.
'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

Re: the "Friends" section. A board I administer has a section called the "bar." Its the place you go when you want to chat about whatever over a cold one. It's a good place to chat about sports, your kids, the weather etc

My bad, I hit submit to fast. The last line is 98 billion from the feds for education. I just edited the line. The states and localities obviously add to that. As I mentioned I can find a lot of sites that say we spend more on prisons, I can't find one with real numbers.
Another edit, as a recovering alcoholic I have for some time advocated treating drug offenses like simple possession as a medical problem not a legal problem. Prisons should be for real criminals, not potheads.

The US spends dramatically more on locking people up than it does on educating them.
I can't find numbers that support that position, although I hit lots of websites that say so.
The most expensive prison system in the country is California's at 50k per prisoner. If that rate applied to all 2 million prisoners that would be 100 billion.
http://warincontext.org/2011/11/01/why-does-the-u-s-spend-more-on-prisons-than-higher-education/
The Federal Government alone spends 98 billion a year on education.

2013 District Convention God's Word Is Truth MP3 is ready!
by OneDayillBeFree inalright.
so i got a sendspace and uploaded the whole thing except for the songs and morning music.. the link to all the mp3's is here!
for some reason it starts with the last talk first but they're all numbered and titled according to the convention so it should'nt be too hard i hope.. do with them what you please, upload them to youtube, send them to friends & family, or just see how far you can stomach some of the "fine spiritual food that the faithful and discreet slave has prepared for us this year".. some key talks you might wanna listen to are 12 symposium: the truth sets us free, 16 believe inspired truth, not inspired error, 20 symposium: reject what is false!

Our daughter was diagnosed with a torn meniscus several years ago. She had the surgery and when they got it in it was some other problem. She recovered well. Get the best doctor you can and do what he tells you.

I took apart the "Reject what is false" on my blog a couple of days ago. I'm working on the Keynote address, I expect to have it up in a few days. You're right, its hard to listen to that crap. I think I'm missing a couple, I will certainly take a look at what you have up.
