i am truly surprised to see boeing trying to roll out a plane so full of bugs and flaws.
hope they can get things straightened out.
major us industry giant, lots of jobs..
The airplane is ok now... but, like all new airplaes, it will always have bugs to work out...
What I like about it is that it uses no bleed air from the engines and the brakes are electric...
I did get to see it being constructed at Everett, Washington recently... Picture-taking was not allowed so i have none... but it was quite a treat...
good morning everybody!!.

la archdiocese could sell land to settle sex abuse lawsuitsposted on sun, dec. 03, 2006. los angeles - the archdiocese of los angeles could end up selling off some of its vast southern california land holdings to help cover the cost of potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in sex abuse settlement payments.. the nation's largest roman catholic archdiocese said friday it will pay $60 million to settle 45 abuse lawsuits.
as many as 485 suits are still pending.. to make the payments, the archdiocese may unload some of its roughly 1,600 area properties, valued at $4 billion, the los angeles times reported today.. while most of the properties are devoted to churches and schools, the archdiocese also owns oil wells, farm parcels, parking lots, and commercial buildings.. the debate over whether to sell the land is likely to focus on who controls parish holdings - church officials or the parishioners.. seeking to limit the plaintiffs' access to archdiocese assets, cardinal roger mahony has claimed that churches and schools belong to individual parishes, and officials do not have the authority to sell them.. but church scholars said mahony has nearly unchecked authority to liquidate church property, ultimately answering only to the pope.. "the cardinal can sell whatever he wants," said charles zech, an economics professor at villanova university.
"each bishop or each cardinal is the 'pope' of his archdiocese.".
total speculation of course, but if they are good marketers every attendee will leave the event with a shiny new new world translation.
in the spanish website extj one forum user shows evidence that on the 18th and 19th of september in chile the government calls to honor the nation displaying the national flag everywhere.
failure to do so is liable to a fine.

What 3rdgen said... they'll simply say that this didn't come from the WT and that "Summ Brutherz" ran ahead of the organization...
This guy "Summ Brutherz" is really notorious... he seems to be running ahead of the Society in every country so far.
i just read an opening post by el_ guapo about a one-eyed blind illegal immigrant that was staying at jw's houses because she couldn't find any work.

aren't there laws against harbouring illegals?.
The long standing policy has always been "don't ask, don't tell"... same policy as harbouring pedophiles...
However, if you are an illegal immigrant, there are a few ground rules...
For example... you are allowed to go to Field Circus, be a microphone holder, build Kingdom Halls, participate in meetings and even give #3 and #4 talks. You might even receive the great honor of being allowed to touch the control knobs on a Kingdumb Hall sound amplifier and mixer.
However, you may not be a Mini-Stereo Servant or Elder and you may certainly not hold the title of "PioSneer" no matter how many hours you report.
That said, if you're an illegal immigrant in good standing with the Watchtower Corporation, you will be the first to enter into the new system...
