All Things LDC

[E_B]

Does the sister in your mother's car group have access to the current Morning Worship or was she referring to an older MW?

 

She has a family member who is doing temp work there. I guess they were in touch this morning.

I want to Join LDC. My elders encouraged my hall and also me individually to join. I have also heard many great experiences from those who are already in it. My question is, what if you have no skills to help? I have no knowledge in construction. Will I get rejected for this?

[Lance]

It is not so much about what you know.. But your willingness to help.. And you are willing to be taught ...

My suggestions is follow the sisters example .. My best students on RBC and LDC training at Assembly hall maintenance are the sisters .. Detail oriented and I don't have to untrain sloppy work habits ...

Just my 2 cents

There is a space on the application for skills you would like to learn

Can someone please post the form number for the LDC application

[Foxes53]

The form is DC-50. You can obtain from Congregation Secretary

[Tortuga]

Can someone please post the form number for the LDC application

 

There are several forms available depending on what you are volunteering for but you probably want the DC-50-E.

[Qapla]

I was asking because a brother I know asked his secretary for one and was given an RBC form with an entirely different number

[AH173]

When I saw the LDC feature on JW Broadcasting on Sunday for family worship, that was the form that was featured. There was a construction volunteer that was approved by a local congregation (probably service committee) for a local level perspective for helping their own congregation's Kingdom Hall. From my remembering of it.

I was told there is also an A-27 for full time work of 6 months or more. I have not seen the form.

Quick Update

We are very close to completion on both KH here in West Palm Beach

Building are mostly done as is site work - Curbs - Sidewalks

 

this past month got to help with Cabinetry....installed a computer Desk, Wooden Decor panels, the new literature Display and the new sound console

--even a coat closet -- kind of a novelty here in Florida

we have seen the carpet, chairs and some final bits and pieces - Electronics, Sound Console devices, Low-voltage (computer Network)

 

so nice to see the project as everything comes together

 

Will miss the Morning Worship - Such a privilege to tie-in to Bethel on Tuesday-Friday morning and listen in

 

I'm thankful to Jehovah to have such a privilege and look forward to many more

 

This month we also have LDC Maintenance Couples assigned to the local Assembly Hall (WPBCCC) to train us for almost a month on all the various bits and pieces of Maintenance - like Electrical - HVAC - Vehicle Maint - Equipment Maint - Technology - Landscape - Mechanical

 

We have had 40-100 friends each day of the week for 4 weeks getting this advanced training....

 

Love how Jehovah is preparing us

Will the recent adjustments and cutbacks have any effect on the new way halls will be built?

Will the recent adjustments and cutbacks have any effect on the new way halls will be built?

If I recall correctly, in the video LDC: Designing Future Kingdom Halls (http://tv.jw.org/#video/VODProgramsEvents/pub-jwbrd_201503_5_VIDEO) all the brothers stated that the new design was standardized, reducing the costs of the hall building process. So in a way, I think the adjustments really started with the change on KH constructions.

 

PS: I knew I saw the LMMO of the CLAMM model meeting before! (Br. Lahfdany from LDC)

[AH173]

When at Sunday meeting during Watchtower study, the brother substituting for the normal Watchtower Conductor said from the platform that another elder who serves as the safety overseer in rbc projects, said he was recently 'fired' from that responsibility. When the elder rose his hand to comment on that and the particular paragraph, he said the word was 'transitioned' from the responsibility. The same word used from latest JW broadcasting video of former travelling brothers to be transitioned to special pioneers.

Have anyone else heard the 'transitioning' phrase for rbc overseers phased out to the new LDC arrangement?

Love the 2016 calander and further cost reductions and adjustments  ... http://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/23154-bethel-branch-reduction-in-construction-announcement/page-16

I haven't heard the term 'fired'. If an elder's assignment changes in the congregation, no one says he was 'fired' from one assignment and 'hired' for a different assignment..

Song 180:

"That precious book is God's own Holy Bible.

'Twas written long ago by men inspired,

By men who truly loved their God, Jehovah;

And by his holy spirit they were fired."

[Tortuga]

And by his holy spirit they were fired."

Poetry on poetry. Glad your on our side, Jerry!

Every time we sing that song - it feels awkward to me. 

 

That and SUCCOR!!! (But I think that one is gone)

I liked "Man and Beast, living in peace"

My BIL called it the Wedding song....

OK. I guess the fellow elder was joking about it. It just caught me off guard when he said it. But was happy when the former safety overseer commented from his seat to clarify. Lol

[Old]

The meaning of the word fired has changed over the last 30 years or so. It is now the accepted term for layoffs, often do to downsizing. In years past it referenced a disciplinary action for failure to perform up to the employers standards. A person might be fired for drinking on the job, or continually showing up late, etc.

I guess since downsizing is involved one could say they were fired, but it still has the wrong connotation to me. I preferred to say we were making 'reduction in force.'

 

Many special pioneers getting a 'reduction in force' letter this week.
