It's such a terrible disconnect from humanity, like what Nancy Drew said.
My old congo is in a beach community with some areas with canals. They homes are not maybe mansions by some people's standards, but they are beautiful and desireable. This subject was always discussed when working that territory.
People mean nothing to this organization. They teach their people how to think about others...they've done a great job.
yea I used to hear it. It seemed kinda weird, sorta gloating as we walked through what we called the "hill territory". mostly very large homes overlooking the San Fernando Valley
Certainly, a sick form of coveting!
I remember it was a common retort, when the householder shoo'd them away. Like "See u in a few years when I take your home". I don't think the brothers in the ghetto were gloating about that very much
Wouldn't this fall under the label of covetousness, something witlesses are explicitly told not to do?
Regardless of the evil one's being destroyed, coveting anything of someone else's is a big bible no-no.
Just more evidence of their hypocrisy!
or under the label of sheer stupidity.
Hmmm.
I've been thinking of starting a thread on a closely-related topic, myself.
Has anyone ever noticed how the death toll in natural disasters, like earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes and the like, are always far, far lower than the population total in that area??
Look at the "kill rate" of tornadoes in the U.S.A....
The "Tri-State Tornado" outbreak of 1925 killed 695 people...
But look at the population levels in that area at the same time.
Murphysboro, Illinois, had 12,000 people in 1925, and lost only 234 people to that "Tri-State" oubreak. At the same time, the tornado outbreak DESTROYED 15,000 homes over its total three-state path of destruction....

Soooo..... 695 people compared to 15,000 homes destroyed... That's a destruction rate of 21.58 homes per person killed.
And that was back in 1925, before the human race's ability to issue warnings improved.
If Witnesses are expecting to have ANYTHING left over after "Armageddon", then "Jehovah" had better use microbes instead of tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and so on...
The violent natural disasters are ALWAYS more destructive to property than effective at killing off humans...
LOL zid...I used to wonder if it ever crossed their minds that god could destroy EVERYTHING. Even when I believed their garb...I couldn't figure out why they thought houses would be left in tact for them to occupy.
The thought process is much the same as a criminal...I want your house, I want your car...and one day I will take it.
gotta love it! ha?
just imagine the "princes" telling you: " this 2 acre plot is yours!", and as soon as you say: "yeah, thanks"........... the house vaporizes, and you're given a clean plot to build from scratch.............
paybacks a bitch

We see the same attitude of greed in ancient Israel under Joshua during the conquest. They only ever managed to find and attack rich sinful cannanite communities. They never attacked the rich Egyptians who must have been sinning, nor did they pnish commnities on principal. I dont recall any instance where they wasted their time with poor Cannaanites with no material possessions or ugly virgin daugthers.
