Devival? Huh?
Anyone have a list of D.C. themes for the last 10 years?
JW's could save themselves a lot of trouble by simply heeding Jesus warning at Luke 21:8:
"And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them." (NASB ©1995)

What a waste. Once they sold the building to the Witlesses, they are not going to get a penny out of them for taxes. Plus, the witlesses are a drain on the economy (every second spent in field circus is taken out of productive time, plus they waste huge amounts of gas in boasting sessions and field circus). That the city got $12.5 million is nothing.
I would have rather seen the building demolished if it was in that bad a condition (or repaired, if cost effective). That way, the land could have been redeveloped. Perhaps a mall, apartment complex, office space, business, or mixed use space would have been appropriate. Then, they could have collected taxes on those properties and paid more than what the witlesses paid for it. Then those places could have contributed to the economy, producing or distributing value instead of sucking it into the Black Hole. And they would not have gotten their hands dirty in the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund.

Keep on the Watch....I'm sure I attended that before I left so I'm good thanks - or it could have been the pure / true language. Which is such a 'loaded' statement in itself as they literally speak their own language and have made up new meanings for words and speak in riddles.
Outline on Friday: Open with song & prayer - some brother already droning on in his monotone voice thanking Jah for this spiritual feast and to protect alllll the brothers & sisters.
Examining the scriptures with some interviews
Then a talk about how close armegeddon is - reciting the same scriptures they did pre 1975
Song & announcements
That One talk made up of three parts - symposium?
Talk for youngsters.
Song & then lunch..........I could go on but I know you would all pass out from sheer boredom.
Kurt - so you keen to do an assembly in Durban - I won't be wearing proper sister attire that's for sure.

I think "Keep Off The Crotch" is a more fitting title considering their no-wank rule.

So I was personally invited for the Thursday session, and told that it would be "international". Great. I need to pick out another flowered shirt, or maybe my shark shirt I wore to Beth Sarim will do.

Yeah I remember this theme back in the 80s except it was called "Keep on the Swatch."
