Interesting, the web site for the complex says:
The community is 1 mile north of I-84, with easy access to the Taconic State Parkway, the NYS Thruway (I-87) and I-684. Metro-North railroad is minutes away, with stations at New Hamburg and Beacon. NYC is just over an hour away by train, and 65 miles by car. Stewart International Airport is 11 miles away.
Great at spot for a real estate investment!
It doesn't look like they have slowed down in the "time of the end." Things that make you hmmm.
Looks like this is something they purchased so they can "use" the brothers/sisters to build their new Mega Complex. Once they need to thin out the herd they will dump it (along with the Brothers and Sisters) for a nice profit. If any of you on here have the "privilege" to volunteer at the new Warwick facility, try going there when the complex is complete and knock on the door. Tell them you helped build the facility and would like to dine with them. You'll be lucky if they even open the security gates for you. BTW...how many times was the word "privilege" mentioned in Sundays Watchtower?
I wonder who will have the lake view suites at Warwick? Another hmmm. From what I hear from Ex Bethelites, there is quite a stir at Bethel for the "nice rooms."
It's good to be the king!
This is very telling that the WTS isn't short on available cash.
Also ...250 units. I wonder if they will put there the old timers that will be curbed from Bethel until they die.

I have always had a problem with ANY religious organization who looks more like a business (real estate purchases) than "humanitarian." It simply does not fit in with what Christ taught about "selling all you have and give to the poor and THEN follow me."
This is a conscience thing folks! And, something deep down tells me that there is something not quite right with any of it.
The Apostle Paul was absolutely on target when he said at 1 Tim 6:10:
"For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things."
It pains me to hear persons claiming to follow Christ justify and rationalize this. Tell the hungry and destitute in the world that real estate is more valuable than they are!
I truly believe that Christ would question why the vast monetary resources are not being used to feed and care for the less fortunate.
The excuse made today is to build Kingdom Halls and print publications for the futherance of the "Preaching of the Good News of the Kingdom."
This is one of the biggest scams being perpetrated by the Watch Tower organization. I will tell you why?
Because neither God or Christ has commissioned humans to preach or declare any Good News of the Kingdom. This is explicitly stated in Scripture.
If one reads from "The Revelation By Jesus Christ That God Gave him" (Rev 1:1) one will read at Revelation 14:6 EXACTLY who will be entrusted with declaring the Good News of the Kingdom. Read for yourself:
"And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare as glad tidings to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people."
It is an angel. On solitary angel. Not any human.
No one here or anywhere can lift out of Scripture a Good News message. Why? Because it does not exist. When it is given, it will not be given to any human to declare.
What the Watch Tower organization has done is play the angle of creating the idea that it has been entrusted in preaching a Good News of the Kingdom message. It has gotten away with not showing where this message is in Scripture and has duped persons into believing that placing publications and making Bible studies is that Good News of the Kingdom message. Sadly, many have fallen for it.
Once it has convinced persons that what it is doing is preaching "The Good News of the Kingdom" message, it can then justify and rationalize use of its vast resources for printing more publications and building Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls. (Attaining more material wealth under the guise of preaching a Good News of the Kingdom).
They have cleverly taken what is clearly stated in Revelation 14:6 and misinterpreted it to mean that this solitary angel in midheaven is DIRECTING humans in the Good News of the Kingdom preaching. That IS NOT what Revelation 14:6 says. It is clear: One angel will be given and will declare the Good News about God's Kingdom. I believe that angel will be Michael (Christ). As he is the "Faithful Witness" and will declare the Good News as a witness to all of the inhabited earth. (Matthew 24:14 and Rev 1:5)
If times are so urgent as the WT claims, why is it buying up real estate? These material things will be destroyed along with the world.
The focus should be on the human element: Feeding the poor and caring for the sick and elderly.
Jesus was NEVER engaged in commercialism like this.
What is wrong with "Christianity" and all of its elements? (Including the Watch Tower)
I will tell you: It is not from God and Christ. It's mindset is debased and of the world. Money and material wealth is more important than people.
I would rather give a hungry person a piece of bread and some cool water to drink than a Bible.
It is very easy for those who live in the West who live in "relative" luxury to those who live in places such as Africa and India who push Bibles and Bible studies. You would whistle a different tune if you were in the shoes of the poor, sick and destitute in the world. Yet, you prefer to give them a Bible and offer a Bible study than give them something to eat or medicine or warm clothing. THIS IS WHAT JESUS TAUGHT !!!
My God! Christianity and indeed all religion is shameful.
We have lost it.

Imagine the reception a JW would get knocking on the door of a displaced residant.
Can I read you a Scripture? “They will build houses and live in them…they will not build for someone else to inhabit…"
Edenone= now you can perhaps understand why they were so willing to lose by default in the gonzalo campos case and for fit the $14 million, in favor of handing over those documents.
It would be ironic if one of the tennants was a JW. But hell you know they did a comprehensive background check to make sure that none were living there so when they booted out the tennants it wouldn't be bad since they are all "wordly". Also, the apt complex had to be selling the building to get rid of it or? I mean couldn't they have made a contingency stating the tennants have to stay "x amount of time"?
Not a JW, but the hellfire club satanic raves begin THIS WEEK at my apartment. WELCOME JAY Z! H to the IZZO - I hope y'all like TECHNO!
I'm so angry with your cult for displacing me. I waited a year to get my apartment and have been there for 4 months. I hope you rot tin hell. Until I'm forced out we're turning on the BIG speakers and I'm inviting some devious people to corrupt your volunteers.
LUCIFER BRINGER OF THE LIGHT! LONG LIVE SATAN!
Not booted out... for now.
Unless any lifer bethelite has a skill needed by the WTBTS, it is just a matter of time before being booted out under the guise of "much needed help out in some area".
I truly feel bad for some that trusted this Org literally with their LIFE and now get kicked to the curb to fend for themselves without viable skills or funds; and then have the gall to order them not to be bitter about it but to trust in Jehovah instead.
What jerks!!!
