" the most important thing in the olympic games is not to win but take part" .
yet according to the daily mail, the entire russian olympic team will today be banned from competing at the rio games next month as punishment for their country's state sponsored doping programme.
it therefore seems to me the olympics has become associated with doping & drugs, and politics becoming an integral part of the games.. do you think that the 2016 olympcs can still unite countries in a positive way?.
The Olympics are a HUGE financial drain on the host city. They have to build housing, places for the events, and other facilities. They must meet the absurd requirements of the IOC. Then these facilities are then mostly abandoned and never used again.
The city might get at short term infusion of cash from the tourism during the Olympics, but that's it. Billions spent and wasted.
he said that the parents of df or inactive do not have right to help there child why not?
his answer its above there pay grade.

thank you for reminding me to do my yearly Friday re-watch.
i would think with all their demands on the rank and file that they should all at least get there 10 hours in a month.
just curious.
anyone know?.
This question gets asked every few months.
Yes they do go out in field service with the congregations.
on a road trip with my jw dad and stopped at the rest stop.

editorial | keep level heads when negotiating jehovah's witnesses contract.
the cambria county war memorial arena has ended its current fiscal year about $18,000 in the black.
that’s a far cry from the anticipated loss of $27,000 that had been projected for the authority.that’s fantastic news, considering some years the facility posted losses of $200,000 or more.“we’re showing a positive business model,” steve st. john, arena general manager, told our dave sutor.
in an economically depressed town, sometimes breaking even is all you can hope for.
To answer your other question, most of the congregations assigned there are with a couple hours of pittsburgh. They haven't had conventions there in a long time (early 90's). There's a few venues they could possible use but I imagine WT would not want to pay to use Consol or Heinz Field.
jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.
i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?
where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?
They've definitely double downed on stuff for kids. Every week they have new stuff for them on JW.org.
unfortunately it's still too early to tell the effect it will have. It will take a few years to see if kids who are exposed to this stuff will leave the org or not.

I went to that place for a few conventions. It's a fucking dump. The city is a fucking dump. Even if I were still in, I would go anywhere but there for a convention.
"it was so beautiful, we are truly blessed!
now, they also plaster these affirmations all over social media, "this is the best life", “so blessed”, “best convention”.. why the gushing?
have you ever heard anyone say, “mmmm it was ok”?
"This convention was just what we needed"
"Food at the proper time"
"You can tell the slave is getting us ready for something coming soon"
Stuff said at every convention ever.
