  How are the Society so happily selling off it's Brooklyn real estate for untold millions to clients that they teach and believe will soon have their newly purchased properties pulverised and themselves incinerated when Armageddon comes.

  Should they not be honest and tell all prospective buyers that they won't be owning those properties for very long? Not a word.. they are just happy to take their truck loads of cash though. That's about as disingenuous as it gets. How can you be selling high priced tickets on a ship that you know is about to sink? Is this what is meant by 'witholding truth' from those that don't deserve to know it?

  Yep. And they wouldn't want to put off potential buyers by sounding like nutcakes now, would they? Their actions, however, certainly don't indicate that they believe their words about Armageddon being 'imminent'. Doublethink at its best.

  it is the same as the real estate seller/donators in first century jerusalem.

  The market was heading south soon,

  but had to cheat on the contribution part.

  lesson for those that withhold information on those matters?

  The G.B. speak with a forked tongue.

  So true about the WTBTS's hipocracy. The GB has a a once in a life time opportunity to 'set a good example' with their boat load of cash. They should follow Jesus advice to the young 'rich man' and sell and give to the poor. Not be building 'bigger store houses' for themselves. Why noit set up a fund 'to care for widows and orphans in their tribulation' like James says at James 1:27. James also mentions in that same verse that caring for widows and orphans is the 'form of worship that is clean and undefiled'.

  OMG eyeusetobeadub -- that's absolutely right. I loved how you used examples from Scripture to show how empty they are inside. Total hypocrites! Thank you for putting it into words for me.

  They probably have enough money from the sale in Brooklyn to pay for Warwick 4 times over, however they still are groveling for donations to it, none of which will go to orphans or widows as Christ commanded.
