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?
The "rank" of the person who was injured might give them an idea of how credible the claim is and what strategy they might use to thwart any payout.
It also might give them data as to who is getting hurt so they can identify any pattern that indicate needed safety changes. Is it the high ranking supervisors or the worker bees, who are getting hurt or is it the low ranking publisers, or is it the foolish young ones who are given work that should be done by more experienced workers ?

From the looks of those carts, the JW's will have to hold an umbrella over them if it started raining.
the guy i know was saying this the other day.. "it's been suggested this may be the last one", or words to that effect.. where & by whom?.
is this doing the rounds?.
If you were around in 1914 or knew someone who was, it is highly probable that this one will indeed be the last.
the assemblies would be get better results and get more people to come and be inspired if they were more encouraging.
instead the assemblies are a giant guilt trip.
don't go to college, don't get a good job, dont buy things even if you can afford them, don't play violent games, don't flirt.
Amen...people need the place they choose to worship God in, to give them strength to get them through another week, not a place that highlights the negativity of the world and places further burdens upon them.
i find it odd that the district overseer today made.
1. zero yes 0 references to the fds in any of his talks.. 2.he also told elders that the brothers worship god and not them.so therefore the elders have no authority to order the friends around.. 3. he also talked about the stanford prison study and said that people who receive authority over others often abuse it.
4. he mentioned that when he disagrees with the branch (aka the fds) he's learned to just do what they say.
I wish we wouldn't use the word Apostate when refering to someone who's woken up to the fact that JW's aren't the ture religon. That's "their" word for it and like much of what they think, it is inaccurate.
many, after leaving or being cast out of 'the society,' have felt so strongly so as to write a book.
some well thought out and good reading.. my questions are the following:.
if you were to write such a book what title would you give it ?.
Paradise Promised But Never Realized, An Account of Jehovah's Witness Disillusionment.
Know Who's Really Knocking On Your Door ?
Trust And Never Verify, A Tale of A Born In Jehovah's Witness
i want to ask wt for my donations back.
i live in canada and i have income tax receipts from them so i can prove how much i gave them.... anybody ever tried something like that or heard about somebody doing it?
what approach should i take?.
I don't think you have a snowball's chance in Hell Gehenna of ever getting your money back but I think it would send them the message that former members don't just disappear into the woodwork anymore. They are being watched and are being held accountable like never before.
if you ever wanted to know why this poster put it best

in reply to: why do jw keep track of hrs?
It's about accountability. Turning in time is not only a way to measure an idividuals spirituality or for those in charge to quantify or evaluate your relaitonship God but is also serves as a way to measure ones subjection to the organization. Many are not motivated by their love for human kind, they need a way to measure and compare themselves to others or to the group and they need a tagible way to prove their worth.
Mommy, I placed 4 magazines in service today.
Good boy Pete, you are making Jehovah's heart glad.

Gone are the days when they could go unquestioned. I don't mind that they have their own beliefs, it's the blocking of outside information to it's born in members that I am so against.
i have always wanted to travel to rio for carnival.
this morining i was reading an editorial on carnival that showed pictures of this years events.
wow beautiful.
Lot's of plain ordinary folks in Brazil and lots of inexpensive plastic surgery there too. Hot weather, minimal clothing required and an uninhibited culture makes it easy to spot the ones who stand out in the crowd, looks wise.
