  It would make sense for them to conduct the meetings at Warwick and I fully expect them to do so in the future.

  Why would they build a massive compound and not include a meeting hall.

  With Big Brother now on screen they don't even need a hall.

  Mike and Kim have been silent on the subject for a while now and they were the ones who were in contact with copyright holder. Something seems off to me, but it's a waiting game ultimately, that's what ownership is after all you can choose to publish or you can choose to sit on it and do nothing.

  I wonder if WT would ever make an offer to obtain the rights (god knows they have the theocratic warfare mentality and the $$$) and then leave them in a vault somewhere forever with any other copies they have hoovered up off e-bay.

  Personally, I wouldn't put it past them.

  It's not unusual for photos at travel sites and tourist advertisements to be cropped and tweeked with stuff like street signs and graffiti left out etc etc. No surprise if WT uses same techniques to maximize the fairytale witness life effect.

  the wt march 2017, p.11, par.

  13 quotes ephesians 4:8 as saying, "the bible refers to them as 'gifts in men.

  I get the watchtower logo being displayed on an external wall somewhere as a nod to the magazine that made them recognizable but why do they need a literal watchtower, what use would it serve?

  Maybe they made a "note to self" after the Waco incident.

  hi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.

  and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.

  i see a future governing body member in the making here:.

  I'd hazzard a guess the guy is an elder and he is at Bethel hence "bethel elder."

  I'd say it goes toward them keeping their charity = tax exempt status.

  Quite sickening really that they teach people how to shun family, refuse blood, be homophobic, sexist and be a walking talking billboard for their cult and WT benefits.
