    Hi everyone

    Many of you will remember the August 15th 2012 Watchtower article in which Guy Pierce admitted that the Governing Body was uncertain of Jehovah's will regarding the plans to move the World Headquarters upstate, but were pressing ahead anyway.

    For those unfamiliar, here is my article on the subject...

    Now there is a video promoting the move on the link below...

    http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/americas/united-states/video-clip-warwick-plans/

    You'll notice there's no narration, just images of the site put to music. Ducks fly across the lake, bulldozers shift soil, and people wave pencils over previously-done drawings. The iPad makes another fleeting appearance, despite being frowned upon for use in the meetings.

    I suppose it's a smart move not adding a narration. That way they don't have to explain how millions of dollars in donated money is being wasted on nothing more than a real estate enterprise that allows them to liquidate their lucrative Brooklyn property portfolio.

    Such lovely background music. Really sets the tone of blissfulness, of enjoying the work that God has assigned. So peaceful.

    And the sound of singers who accompany themselves on the harp and of musicians and of flutists and of trumpeters will never be heard in you again. - Revelation 18:22

    Tell them irondork!

    Not that they will ever discern their end until it is finally upon them though... Even then they will claim persecution from the devil...

    They are always right no matter how wrong they are .

    Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmm!"

    So, from the WT's point of view, "What was the point of that video?"

    Seriously, it was very nearly 100% devoid of any meaningful content at all!

    Who is going to watch it (besides us evil apostates) and why should they care?

    What message do the GB or whoever it was that decided to make this well-produced, but empty-headed video intend?

    It was all, "Hey guys, look what we're doing! We're playing with our toys in the dirt!"

    Tonka toys

    "Thanks for buying us all these nice toys, they're really fun to play with!"

    It looks as if Ben Elton is part of the project management team then!

    Looks like they're trying to go even more "remote cult compound" than Patterson or Wallkill.

    There must be subliminal messages hidden in there. By the time it was over I had an overwhelming desire to donate.

    NOT.
