Chelmsford is an Asbestos Dump

by Slidin Fast in

the dubsters in the uk are being taken for such a ride.. on one side they have prime land and property to sell in north london worth many millions of uk pounds.. on the other they have bought a contaminated site used for years of illegal dumping.

one of the main contaminants is asbestos.

it will take volunteer labour months simply to remove the toxic material.

OP: You make yourself look silly writing stuff like that, if someone tells you that it's just not true.

has any body else heard this that they are asking members of different congs in new york to go and clean at bethel for free,if this is true then it really shows that the borg is short of money and might even be crumbling before our eyes

how does one set of volunteers , from congregations, rather than another set of volunteers, from the branch, cleaning, show that the org is crumbling and running out of money?

Cue to leave

just reading a thread about one circuit saying the pubs must donate $10.. it got me thinking, that if it ever became policy to donate a % of ones income, that would be my cue to leave.

or i would kick up such a stink about it i would be kicked out.

either would be good for me.. so, is there any public policy changes which would be your cue to leave?.

Exactly where is the expansion?

there is a thread that i'm really enjoying discussing the consolidation of congregations into existing kingdom halls.

i'm realizing that the only threads that have spoken of building were related to branch offices.

we know the wts's consolidations and reopening a are a shell game of sorts but i'm wondering... is anyone seeing an increase in kingdom halls in their part of the world?

Apparently in the UK the LDCs have worked on 65 new builds, and 183 refurbished since the committee's inception - according to the recently produced video

Is there evidence for networks of abuse?

by slimboyfat in

i tend to avoid the subject because it's too depressing, so i've probably missed lots of discussion about this issue.

but i read a comment on youtube yesterday that shocked me and made me wonder.

the person claimed that many years ago abusers in society generally identified jws as a safe haven for abusers and joined en masse order to exploit the situation.

@careful, I think that's one of the most proposterous stories I have read in this board, ... Have you considered writing for adult fantasy magazines?

Dam it, I missed it!

by DwainBowman in

i missed the jw, history making, all new mid week meeting!

and i am just so torn up over it, i've had a few drinks to drown my deep sorrow in, missing such a once in a lifetime event!.

oh how can i ever get over, such a lost opportunity like that, just don't know if i'll never get over it!.

I am sorry to hear you are upset, but you could go next week , or watch the video online . Be careful if over consuming alcohol brother , it dulls your senses and can lead to poor choices.
