The "All Opinions are Welcome, but Sorry no Instigators" Board - The "All Opinions are Welcome, but Sorry no Instigators" Board

Democracy & The Law

Why has Dimin encouraged people to come to the CC hearings? Can the decision of the board be affected one iota by the view of the residents of RT regarding this issue? Absolutely not. The laws that will govern the decision are already in place. Our democratic process involves choosing representa...

straight talk about

The term "Urban-sprawl" has been thrown around so much that it appears to be a foregone conclusion. But there's no truth or proof of it at all. First, the land CC is buying has already been developed. And any company that movedin there would have had the option of expanding the facilty. RT already surre...

Not sure how to make the other thread a sticky, so here's a new one.

My Diatribe-sorry for the length I've been to the meetings. And I've written my letters and made my calls to the church. I've asked them if it was true that the statement made by Ireland did indeed come from his mouth that if the people of Rockaway don't want his compound here, then he won’t brin...

Mark B

Hi all. I am no traffic genius, so some of this is confusing to me. I have pasted a previous post about the weeday traffic. What I am curious about, is I believe that the children going to this school will be dropped off by parents. This means it 2 way traffic on the road. Then they pick up the kids- ... >>>>>>>

Ted's after meeting experience is regretful, if accurately reported. (Before you jump all over that statement Ted, remember that we know of many other inaccuracies in your posts in the past.) Although I wouldnt bother to give him the time of day myself because of the many hateful he has said to me, I wo...

Hey guys, since we're going to be keeping track of the posts that are deleted so they can be reported to the nj.com bosses, let's start doing this. Whenever you see a particularly interesting post (of course not inappropriate or dangerous or privacy-invading), copy the whole post and we'll stor...

Still valid questions (never answered in public) Where is VORT’s traffic report? I have heard that they have one. Will they post the summary of it on their website? Why didn't they post the summary of the Urbitron study on their website? Why didn't they use number...

I did a little research at the US Department of Labor Statistics. I was able to identify Roman Catholic Priests as a category for which there were some statistics. I thought that some of you would appreciate knowing the numbers. These data are based on 2003 tax returns. M...

Just to help put the physical size of Irelands grand plan to build this huge business out here on Green Pond Road, please consider the following: 1. His Present Church of 5000 members is 25,000 ft^2 2. He plans improve the Agilent property up to 412,000 ft^2 3. St. Peters Basilica in the Vatican i...

Craig Maier

Using a much more conservative approach to the growth of the CC business, assume that it is only going to grow at 10% per year (a poor assumption based on its history and the magnitude of investment that Ireland is making here). The NFV equation yields the following projections: 1. In t...

I found Mr. Steck's analysis of the RT Master Plan interesting. While his comments about no clear definition of what a church is appear to be accurate, maybe it is because the master plan was last updated (1995 I think) before mega-churches as they are know even existed. If th...

This is to document my growth calculation results for CC which I used in my query of Ireland the other night: Given: Christ Church grew from 500 to 5000 members in 10 years. This comes from sworn testimony from Ireland Using a re-arrangement of the NPV (Net Past Value) formulae, I calculate...

Ted Doty

After some rude citizens commented, vORT's attorney sounded foolish. He tried to make the point that CC isn't a church because a large percentage of space dedicated to ancillary activities. The Church's expert responded that a parking lot takes up more square footage than m...

Craig Maier

Many people in this town will understand my thesis of CC growth calculations because they are quite bright. I calculated the growth of Christ Church using the classic NFV (Net Future Value) formulae. This is NOT a linear equation. Furthermore, one would no...

Ted Doty

First let me address Mr. Maier’s comments from Monday night. You profess to be an engineer and commented that CC grew from 500 to 5000 in ten years ergo, extending that linear growth rate, CC would have a congregation of 13,000 in 3 years. If you are an engineer, you can’t be a go...

Karen

Wow, we were on a free-speech roll there and kaboom! All over. Funny DMX100 called live2gether's post racist; I read it several times and don't see anything about race. Odd. Oh well, they also called me "ever ladylike" so I guess that says it all for DMX's credibility!

rockres23yrs

If the CC project goes through the town loses $630,000 per year in tax revenues. Can anyone imagine why the town would not be willing to spend this amount or less to pay for legal fees to prevent this traffic and environmental disaster? It would seem to be a fairly easy decision for the town to make.

Ted Doty

The rudeness continued after all had left the stage. When I arrived last night, I parked my van using two spaces, so that there would be enough room for the ramp that I need to gain access to my vehicle. At some point, Town councilman Max Rodgers decided to squeeze is truck between...

Lisa Salberg
