    If the permit is approved soon, volunteers from the nearby Jehovah's Witnesses compound will begin work on three soccer fields, a football field and a softball diamond, said Supervisor John Valk. The football field will include lighting for night games.

    That doesn't sound right; "Jehovah's Witnesses compound". Besides, Witnesses don't waste time volunteering for projects when they should be out in field service. Especially sports related projects.

    First thing that came to mind was, why would JW's help wit somethin'

    that they tell their kids not to be a part of

    It's worldly and it's supposed to promote bad association

    that's what I was told when my daughter was in high school

    glad I didn't listen, I would be kickin' my own ass right about now

    I imagine it's true. Right before they let more people go from the compound in Walkill, they can try to look like a normal religious group to the locals. They don't pay taxes, so it isn't about that. It's business though. It may be that they want to rezone some land and sell it or they want to rezone and do something else on the land or maybe get some kind of waiver on something they are doing. Heck, it could just be to show the local politicians that JW members are like puppets that will dance when their strings are pulled. That way, they can all get a good laugh in some smoke-filled room when they talk about it. NO? It's gotta be business-related, then.

    I see that Shawangunk is near Wallkill, so that explains the "Jehovah's Witnesses compound" comment. My guess is that this is some kind our public relations stunt.
