Watchtower Educational Center Amended Site Plan DEIS PDF

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., (the "applicant") proposes to expand the Watchtower Educational Center (WEC) in the Town of Patterson, located on New York State (NYS) Route 22 approximately one mile south of Route 311. This action requires an amendment to the WEC's existing site plan. This chapter provides a brief history of the applicant's organization and existing operations at the Patterson site, descriptions of the site location and the proposed project, and explanations of the applicant's objectives and the need for the proposed project.

Construction of the proposed project would occur in 10 phases over a 48-month period between February 2010 and February 2014. Construction would include six new buildings, roadways, sidewalks, parking areas, and stormwater detention basins. Infrastructure and utility improvements would also be incorporated.

A 4-year building project culminating in 2014.

Yeah, they're sure acting as if the end is close.

Mythbuster

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

A 4-year building project culminating in 2014. So I guess in the near future we will read how with the overlapping generation it becomes clear that "evidently" Jesus meant that 100 years from 1914 there should be in place a wonderful palacial residence ready for returning dignataries that missed the 1925 bus/chariot.

"Watchtower Educational Center"...

Isn't that a bit like

"Scientology Psychiatric Center"?

From this central location to the rest of the world Jehovah's annointed, the faithful and discreet slave, led by their governing body through the congregation elders will be able to lead those who treasure this god ordained organization into the new order. Understand this will not be a gathering together at this location, but rather being led from here. There simply cannot be enough rooms for all 7,000,000, so the gb will inform thru the book study arrangement directions for the rest on reaching paradise. Oh crap, that arrangement was dropped. Who the hell dropped the ball on that one.

This shouldn't be viewed as a building expansion plan, rather as a building OVERLAP plan...

AND aren't they helpful lot?

COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS BY APPLICANT

In addition to its contributions on a worldwide scale, the applicant has also made contributions

to its local community in the Town of Patterson. The applicant has contributed to several

Hamlet of Patterson, and pouring concrete at the Patterson Fire Department main station on

Burdick Road in the Hamlet of Patterson. The applicant has also made the WEC property

available to the PFD on several occasions for fire training drills and use as a landing zone for a

STAT Flight helicopter. The applicant will consider similar contributions in the future.

So, we can't swim at the local "Y", but they're suddenly engaging in "Charitable activities" to put on a facade of "Christian generosity"???

Bleah.... Can't stand the hypocrisy...

Thanks so much for posting this, Mythbuster.

(Lest we forget: Warwick and Ramapo properties are in the works, too.)
