    I had dinner with my devout JW in-laws last night, (and the night before, and the night before, aaargh, long story) anyways, I was dying to bring this up, but my 10 and 11 y.o. JW niece and nephew were there too and I didn't want to make those kinds of waves. Their parents are wavering in their faith I think, and I didn't want to traumatize the kids and force the parents to defend JW actions.

    BUT, I would have loved to hear my in-laws trying to defend this huge boondoggle.

    A long-discussed proposal from the Jehovah's Witnesses to build a 1,000-unit residence hall and parking garage in Dumbo, Brooklyn, has reached the desks of city planners

    The Borg wants to build a hall in a place called Dumbo?? LMAO!! Well, it certainly would be an appropriate place for them to build!!

    I agree! I did a search on Google about DUMBO... here is what I found:

    DUMBO is the popular name of a neighborhood in Brooklyn, from "Down Under the Manhattan
    Bridge Overpass." It is located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. .

    DUMBO has become known as an artists' haven, as many of the expansive warehouses in
    the neighborhood have been renovated into loft space.

    Hmmmm... this just confirms that Russell's printing company has become a huge real estate developement company as well.

    I wonder how they can justify saying to the rank and file that the governing body senses that the end is very near and that is the reason why they are selling some of the buildings in NY?
