  RBC accident report paperwork on jwleaks? why does it matter if elder

  by ?me? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on one of the recent boe letters, they sent a rbc form to document any accidents on the jobsite.

  there is a portion to check if the injured person was an elder, pioneer, ms, etc.... .

  why does this matter?

  I don't understand why the need to rebuild the halls. Isn't "The New System" around the corner? When I was about 15 I didn't even understand why the renovated our perfectly stable 70s looking hall. The end was close them too. Hmmm Will these people ever wake up?

  i only heard about these atms last year on this forum.

  the poster seemed to be saying they are for donating only, is that correct?

  absolutely gobsmacked over this, don't the brothers see any correlation between this and the likes of jimmy swaggart?

  woody allen wrote a very compelling article in the op-ed of the new york times.. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/opinion/sunday/woody-allen-speaks-out.html?ref=opinion&_r=0.

  have you ever been accused of something you did not do?

  if that happens, what do you do?.

  DJs, If Violo doesn't even desreve a response why a paragraph responding to her? Also, why are you asking her to apologize? LOL

  Unfortunately, Hollywood plays by their own set of rules. They often get away with murder and sometimes literally, imo. If I am allowed to have an opinion. I've worked in the field/area of child abuse for ten years now and I've seen "expert, prefessional, experienced team" make mistakes on either side.

  Steve2, Finkelstein, and Sammielee: Well said.

  We are all free here to share our opinions, perceptions, beliefs, facts, and whatever else we care to. If I don't like what is being said i usually move on without attacking anyone. I say usually because I did get a little carried away with the Trayvon Martin case. shame on me . . .

  Geez DJs perhaps you should find a new forum if you are so unhappy with people here. FOrgive us for having an opinion in this very public battle.

  Obviously none of us really know the true story here. If you only want facts perhaps you should stay out of these type of discussions. Just a thought . . .

  Peace :)

  Florida man shoots teen

  by designs in

  2. current

  michael dunn pulled into a convenience store parking lot next to a suv full of teenagers who were playing loud music.

  he asked the teens to turn down the music, it is uncertain what words were exchanged at that point.

  michael dunn then shot 4 times into the driver's side of the suv.

  This Dunn guy is something else! Crying over his dog but can feel anything over a dead kid! This guy is arrogant and still feels he did the world a favor by killing Davis. I don't see him getting away with this but who knows.

  just talked to an older jw in my old hall.

  he said there was a special 2 hour elder's meeting recently in southern california spanning many counties and areas.

  apparently, due to the massive jw growth, the rbc or wt (he didn't know which one) will be announcing they they are asking each family to contribute $10/month toward new construction of kingdom halls in the southern california area.. .

  They live in fear of deprtation so maybe that is why they are generous with the world over the org's www. Just a thought. Don't mean to cause any controversy.

  It's just hard for me to believe that in the "Information Age" they are actually having any real growth.

  Uhg my brain dead brother is on an RBC here in So. Cal. I don't get it I thought their was no new growth. I think they are remodeling the Norco AH currently. They are doing something to it.

  They get free labor which saves them money. Money that is better spent settling JW child abuse lawsuits. Recently, someone on instagram was bragging about getting materials at cost after impressing some "worldling supplier" with all the free labor. I wonder if they told the same guy about their shunning policy or blood policy if he would still be so impressed enough to give them materials at cost.

  So are they really building new khs here or just using the money to remodel and keeping all the extra donations/cash for the "worldwide work" AKA Jdub child molester lawsuits? Wish my family would wake the hell up already! One can dream . . .
