Also, what is the big thing about not complaining and accepting the change? What is so controversial about the new structure that would encourage dissent? -

Just so I am clear, do the society want to reduce the cost of a hall by 20% or to 20% of the current build cost? The latter is a massive ask. -

Counting service time in a creative way
by nevaagain incouting time and, how to count time while doing as little service as possible is often a hot topic around witnesses.
i even overheard pioneers discussing about it.
they call it "creative time counting" (i translated that phrase from a different language so bear with me ;-).

I just make up a figure and put it down. That saves even having to do anything. To be fair I do turn up at one meeting for FS a month or so just to keep the elders off my back. I then do some "calls". At my house.

The intcal13 dataset: The best evidence I know of for C14 dating.
by bohm incarbon 14 dating is often dismissed as relying on the assumption the c14/c12 ratio in the past has been comparable to the present, however what is rarely acknowledged is this assumption can be checked.
the way the assumption is checked is by finding a system which admits dating independent of c14.
popular choices are dendrochronology, where tree-rings are counted and by matching variation in tree-ring width across trees it is possible to build a chronology stretching back 12000 years, or varvas, where yearly variations in sediment deposits in lakes admit chronologies to be build stretching back tens of thousands of years.

Bohm - even some very intelligent dubs I know are completely dismissive of c14 science. They could not care less about the verification processes. As you have pointed out the publications don't even address this side of things so many dubs have zero knowledge of it. I was the same when I was mentally in.
The fact that the WTS have hardly mentioned many aspects of science fir years such as C14, common ancestry and other areas where the current evidence is overwhelming says it all to me.
They want us to accept ever changing new light but not consider how far science has come in 30 years.

Satire so ridiculous yet it could be true.
Love it.

Think schools kids taking the mickey out of each other.

Unless your post is even more ironic and I've missed your joke.
