Is this crazy or what? 20,000 of us will see the light and join (no matter our faith) and rejoice in the traffic jam...I must have been beamed into bizareoworld while I was not looking...
1800.1.1.1. Hypothetical by ChurchTruth, 3/23/04 20:50 ET Re: CAMPUS??? by RT25yrs, 3/23/04 Here is a hypothetical for you (meaning work with the assumptions, don't refute them - it is a hypothetical) - CC's move is approved and the campus is built and opened in 2005. By 2006 20,000 of those living in RT decide to attend, raising CC membership to 25,000. RT decides Green Pond Rd needs improvment due to traffic flow caused by the RT residents going to CC along with the Damon's and all the other new building, so
RT, CC, and the rest of the benefitting businesses contribute to the widening of GPR in accordance with planning board rules (remember, if the planning board determines that off-site improvments are required for approval, the parties contribute pro rata to those improvements). Is that potentiall future problematic to you?
I would have bought my home in a suburban area - RT is and always will be a rural community...we have no wish to turn our one lane sleepy hometown into more suburban sprawl...period.
I do not know about the rest of you folks here in RT, but I am perfectly happy with my religion as it is (Jewish). I strongly doubt that there is going to be a rush of converts to CCism if they moved here. I suspect that, by and large, we are satisified with our religions and existing religious institutions. My wife (who is a practicing Catholic and satisfied with her church) and I, like most in this town are much to bright to consider CCism as a viable alternative.

Actually, judging by the fact that you can't understand what a "hypothetical" is, "bright" would not be the first term that jumped to mind to describe you. Your unfounded opinion regarding the intelligence level of CC members is, however, very revealing.
To be perfectly honest with you, one would have to be a little naive or not too bright to be pouring 10 percent before taxes into Irelands coffers. There are real established religious organizations which are sincerely interested in the spiritual needs of their congregations. I have seen Ireland in action and he is not such a man in my opinion. I do not think that he even understands the concept of "Thou shalt not bear false witness!" (that's one of the ten commandments, in case you did not know).
