  Good questions incognito.

  Surely they can only sue for the actual costs that they incurred for the cleanup otherwise they are profiteering from a lawsuit and I thought that lawsuits are intended only to compensate. They would have to demonstrate to the court how they came up with the cost of remediation, that's not going to be easy if they didn't pay an outside contractor.

  Morningworship, this is the third thread that you have started with a link to an moderately rude but pathetic video.

  Was this enacted by JWs?

  It looks highly staged with a third person videotaping. Not all of us want to see a guy with his pants down being spanked.

  Splane says what they do about it is to send JWs from door to door to 'set the record straight'. How can they set the record straight when 95% don't even understand the processes in place and the damage they have caused?

  The leadership feels that it is not answerable for their own decisions and have left it up to the R&F to excuse them any way they can.

  This had been reported by JWleaks 3 years ago regarding Warwick

  "Also, a total of 26 "soil borings" were carried out around the site and 18 "test pits" were dug in close proximity to the main key buildings. None of these were on locations where any buildings were to actually be built/redeveloped. They are not soil testing for any registered building constructions. In conjunction with this, extensive "high-water table testing" was done on the adjacent Sterling Forest Lake even though all proposed new buildings and redevelopments are located at least 10 feet above any existing high-water level. The area was also mapped for high groundwater locations. An extensive "Geotechnical Engineer Report" was prepared for this."

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/230064/mystery-societys-beth-shan-secret-cult-compound?page=2&size=20

  It may be that they carried out an extensive investigation into the contamination. JW leaks reports that there was extensive underground work being planned with underground pathways extending from one end of the building site to the other and a large underground parking lot, I wonder if these had to be reconsidered due to the contamination?

  But it was so long ago, nobody will remember what took place, who did what, what procedures existed and we've all learnt so much more since then. Everyone called to be a witness won't remember what happened and if they do find any paperwork, they'll have no recollection of it.

  That's what they did at the Aust. Royal Commission.

  The corporations that may be involved may also pass the buck onto the Government saying that it is their responsibility and if there were laws in place they would have complied by them.

  Esmerelda this may be the sort of questions JWs ask but I had no realization of this, I was born in. I think they are highly inappropriate and they have set of some alarm bells, even more so because you are a single woman.

  They were trying to work out your support network and I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that I think this is the very thing a pedo would do. Even if it is more innocent they want to work out how easy it is for them to draw you into the cult and make you feel dependant on them (the JWs).

  A lot of JWs are gossipers as well and don't expect that the information you give them will be kept to themselves.

  Steer clear of this couple.

  In a larger group I would normally suggest that you spend some time observing others and see how they interact with each other but it is different in the JW world because there are many who put on a fake front but typical of a cult.

  i did some reverse domain lookups to see what web domains were linked to watchtower.

  They are handy for the WTBTS to have when the official site is banned in certain countries. For example, you can't access the official site in Russia but some of the other sites you can.

  and they were amazing, 8 years of my boy growing up captured on a few films i once made.. the past is of course not the only thing to look forward to, but as i watch these movies i see so many acts of love and so many perfect times that i had forgotten.. so my question is do you have " the greatest ( photos) or movies in your collection" that you may have neglected?

  .

  if so my xmas present to you is, take them out the drawer and dust the cobwebs away...... the rebel..

  In the 60s my father had bought an 8mm camera. Each film was about 6 mins long, no sound and b&w. He took a film once or twice a year as it was expensive to buy the film. They've been transferred to a DVD.

  Hubby and I hired a VHS recorder a couple of times when the kids were younger and couldn't afford the expense of buying one in the 80s. There was a toy b&w camera being sold in the toy shop which was fairly cheap. It connected to the TV and VHS recorder and we used that for years. The picture and sound was great and we were able to capture the kids on it as they were growing up.

  Photo's are good but having the film brings back the memories so much that you feel you are living those moments again.

  Thanks for the reminder.
