DepressedSoul, the reasoning that WTBTS has on OSHA requirements is that they do not have to comply with the regulations because the work is being done with volunteer labor and they are a non-profit organization. I asked about how they could get away with the unsafe conditions they exposed us too while working at Patterson years ago, and that is what I was told.
However, they had several meetings "encouraging" the workers to think of their own safety. Duh, you don't want to comply, but you are having accidents? Really. What did you expect? The bottom line for "working safe" was that WTBTS was having to pay medical bills for the immediate emergency care, right before they told the volunteer workers that they needed to go home and take care of themselves.
Evidently, WTBTS loves the benefits of free volunteer labor, but they don't like the responsibility. Volunteers Work at their own risk, and oh,... if you are hurt, we will pay for the stitches, and then send you home. If you lost a finger, eye, or other permanent disability, don't expect any money, because, we don't pay into workers compensation insurance, because we are a non-profit organization that has only volunteer labor. Humm, .....

a statement by the watchtower society released this week, is highlighting the achievement of two major awards for sustainable development actions.. the green building initiative (gbi) has awarded certificates for two new buildings at the united states branch facilities.
the awards are achievements for the watchtower farms f residence, completed in late 2012, and the watchtower wallkill office building, completed in 2014.. ....................these awards may indicate that sustainable management techniques are being applied to ensure the cost effectiveness of the buildings.

Why is the WTBTS even concerned about a LEED certification? WTH? Did they have to apply for it?. What hypocrisy. They don't care about anything the governments or even judges tell them to do and here they are seeking a LEED certification, an honor given by imperfect men?
WTBTS is quick to condemn someones motive for seeking "higher education" saying they are just too proud, that they are seeking prominence in the world, while you should be seeking Jehovah's approval.

Welcome aboard Doctor Who, I'm looking forward to hearing more on your journey. There seems to be quite a few this week who are announcing they are waking up to TTATT. It's all good.
The average publisher hours required for one baptism is over 6000?, and I don't think it is taking that many hours of people looking into the "Truth" to wake up. LOL

Welcome to the board DS, I enjoyed your "Poem" short and to the point, and effective in letting the reader know your thoughts and feelings. You will have many "friends" here that will understand your Journey, as we have all been there and done that, but we have all reached out for a helping hand and I can say this site has helped me. We are all in a different "grade" level, of acceptance and healing. I hope you enjoy your stay here, and also wish that you may be able to mentally wrap your mind around all of this and move on. Again, Welcome -

I recently trimmed my beard after growing the "Grizzly Adams" over a very busy winter. I've shave the beard off a few times and my daughter especially says, but the wife also says, "why did you shave your beard off?", "it looked so nice". So there.
