  The Society prefers to pay out!!!!

  by caspian in

  i was down at the london branch recently, talking to the the bros on the legal desk, when i came across an interesting snippet.. at uk district conventions, about half are indoor, and the rest are held in cold draughty football stadiums.. it seems that over the past 2 years, the amount of attendees of these conventions held in the outdoor stadiums, who are now sueing the society for injuries caused by trips and falls down steep stadium stairs has risen from an average of 1 or 2 per year to over 30 cases.. the availability of these new style no win no fee lawyers are proving to much of an attraction to those out for a quick buck.. the societies position, i thought was interesting, as the average payout is between 3k and 7k, they are quite happy to settle out of court, as it is cheaper than going to court.. i then got to thinking.

  imagine if every apostate went to a convention, and took a little fall, trapped a finger, grazed a knee and so-on...... could turn conventions in to a very expensive hobby for the society... by the way simon, the forum looks great... .

  Name some things you would do different....

  minimus' thread about things that used to upset you but now doesn't got me to thinking.

  what are some things that you wished you had done(or hadn't done) if you could go back?

  even if you have no regrets at being a witness, is there anything you would have done different as a witness?.

  Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.

  by JEMIMAH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just back from renovating my holiday home in the south west of france.

  beats yorkshire anyday.... anyway thought i would share this little account with you.. as most are of you are aware, the alarm code for about 90% of kingdom halls is 1914 (nineteen fourteen).. i t seems though that for the last 8 or 9 quick builds or refurbs in the uk, the brother who installed the numbers into the alarm control panel used the numbers 1975 and explained the number as one nine seven five not the the easier version (ninteen seventy five).. trivial joke or honest mistake, either way this poor brother has been rumbled and has to to meet with 2 elders investigating on behalf of a body of elders to see whether an apostasy charge will be brought.. he is supposed to be meeting with them over the next few days.. .

  a very sad jem, who is sick of the whole elder abuse game.

  previously, we considered what might go on at a judicial meeting.now, let's see what the reinstatement process entails.

  let's use the example of fornication.

  you have been disfellowshipped for this sin and now you want to seek reinstatement.
