I was hurt in two differnt events, 4 years apart. I am very lucky to have been walking these past 20+ years. Well my luck is running out, and the pains are growing! At the great and wondrous IC, it was almost more than I could to walk into the building, let alone, walk for miles to find a seat. 2nd day I knew where the main handicapped seating area was, so that's where I went. I got a seat right away. Ten mintues before the program started, two thugs came and told me I couldn's set there, it was only for those with family in a wheelchair, and I would have to move, when I prostested, one of them reached for my tag, the other told me that these instructions came straight from the oh so loving branch! I took my tag off and wadded it up, before the one could read it, got to my feet and slowly, painfully hobbled away. I took 30+ minutes to find another place to set. In a hallway, on a lower level! Well it turned out ok, being I had no one looking over my shoulders reading my tablet, while I was reading our wonderful web sites!
I may have to go to more of these crap fest, but next time they will have to move me. It took 3 weeks to recover from it!

Am I going crazy?
by HappyDad inam i going nuts or am i just pissed off?
there are so many posters who use abbreviations in their posts and so many of us have been out for years.
the borg constantly changes everything from beliefs to organizational tactics, so those like me don't have a clue to what you are referring to.

It's so funny, they have been trying to do away with there beibg one top pit bull elder in each cong since the mid 70''s. They keep changine the title, and stressing, that they are all equal, yet, there is still one pit bull elder in charge per cong!

Cofty, the Sunday & Thursday meetings did not include the song a prayer, so you had to add at least another 15 miuntes or more!

Congregation that have sent in money!
by DwainBowman inin the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.
a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.
a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.

I have to defend the friend of mine who want's his money back. He gave it for a stated project, with the understanding that was what it was to be used for, that project, not to be taken/stolen and sent away for others to decide what to do with it! I know this guys pretty well, he won't be giving anywhere as much as he always has to the local, or branch headquarters. His dad pretty much paid for the KH they are in now, 35+ years ago. And there is no telling how much more he would have given to the local project, once it got started! He said his legal people have told him, that he has a very good case!!
I agree that if you drop it in a donate box, with no strings, you have no right to be able to say how it is used!

After sending the funds in, the local congregation, are mostly being told, that their hall is OK, and may need some remodeling, but they they won't be getting a new hall! One friend of mind had donated $20,000 towards a new KH. He has ask for his money back, and is thinking about suing to get it back!!!! A few others are also MAD over the monies they gave for a special project, just being stolen (their words)
I would be pretty PISSED myself!! Thankfully my last dime was given almost two years ago now!!!!!

Negative forum behavior
by Simon inanother good codinghorror blog entry perfectly describes some people's online behaviour and an approach to handling it.
i'll post part of it below but to summarize, these tend to be behaviours that don't violate any specific rules as such as the people doing it try to carefully skate just up to the line but they are nevertheless disruptive and we're not going to tolerate them on this site.
if you are here to do these things then this isn't the site for you - move along, find someplace else on the internet to inhabit.. hate is easy to recognize.
