To my servant Joe Smith by the Voice of Inspiration and to the Church Assembled:
1a. "In answer to your inquiry regarding the needs of my Church, the following is given: My servant, John Doe, who has labored tirelessly and diligently for so many years as a true and faithful servant of mine now needs the burden he has carried to be shared more fully by one who has the lawful right of lineage to the prophetic office.

A mi servidor, Joe Smith, por medio de la Voz de la Inspiración, y a la Iglesia congregada:
1a. “Como respuesta a su pregunta respecto a las necesidades de mi Iglesia, se da la siguiente: Mi servidor, John Doe, quien ha laborado incansable y diligentemente por tantos años como verdadero y fiel servidor mío, ahora necesita que esta carga que ha llevado se comparta más plenamente con alguien que tenga derecho legal por linaje al oficio profético.

DETERMINATIONS
In instances where sufficient information is available, THE COMPANY will promptly make factual and disciplinary determinations about the challenged conduct. However, you should keep in mind that some inappropriate behavior is not reflected in documents or witnessed by other people. In those situations, individual credibility determinations will have to be made, and THE COMPANY will strive to do its best at making those determinations correctly. These credibility issues should not discourage you from reporting harassment, but should illustrate the importance of having documents, witnesses and other information available if you can to assist THE COMPANY in reaching its determination. All determinations will be based upon a totality of the circumstances then known to THE COMPANY.
| Translation - Spanish
RESOLUCIONES
En aquellas instancias en las cuales haya suficiente información disponible, LA COMPAÑÍA definirá resoluciones factuales y disciplinarias con respecto a la conducta objetada. Sin embargo, deberá tener en cuenta que algunos comportamientos inapropiados no se documentan ni son presenciados por otras personas. En estos casos, se tendrá que llegar a las resoluciones con base en la credibilidad individual, y LA COMPAÑÍA realizará su mejor esfuerzo por definirlas correctamente. Estos asuntos de credibilidad no deben disuadir denuncias de acoso, pero sí deben demostrar la importancia de tener documentos, testigos y otra información disponible, si le es posible, para ayudar a LA COMPAÑÍA a resolver el asunto. Toda resolución se basará en la totalidad de las circunstancias en ese entonces conocidas por parte de LA COMPAÑÍA.

Al caer la tarde, tras el ajetreo diurno, Madrid se transforma sin alterar su ritmo, su movimiento ni sus posibilidades de ocio, y continúa ofreciendo a los visitantes una amplia carta de diversión, cultura y entretenimiento. Desde el tapeo o desde los restaurantes de toda clase, pasando por bares y cervecerías animadas, terrazas que inundan las calles de charlas y encuentros, hasta una variada oferta cultural, la ciudad invita a seguir despierto y continuar la jornada hasta altas horas, terminando en alguno de sus numerosos pubs y discotecas, que los hay para todos los gustos. | Translation - English
When evening falls, after the daily grind, without missing a beat or losing its bustle or its possibilities for rest and relaxation, Madrid transforms itself and continues to offer visitors a wide selection of alternatives for fun, culture and entertainment. From snacks or tapas and restaurants of all kinds, lively bars and alehouses, terraces that fill the streets with conversation and gatherings, to varied cultural offerings, the city invites you to stay awake and prolong the day into the wee hours, finishing off at one of its numerous pubs and night clubs that have something for everyone. |
