Hey ZAPPA-ESQUE!
we were told that we never purchase a property that belonged to Kristy-dum - but we don't mind taking their money

Question Box: Is it all right to buy a church building for use as a Kingdom Hall or, when a new Kingdom Hall is built, to sell the former hall for use as a church?

We had a plumber who was castigated for considering to fix a leaking pipe at a church and told he would be df'ed if he did the task.
See BluesBrother's posting here:
"to do emergency repair work on a broken water pipe in the church basement"

kinda surprised this hasn't popped up on here yet.
article is just a couple days old.
it's in the small, but pretty state of vermont.
This was discussed a few days ago:
of interest in the report is:
The allegations were also reported to the Vermont Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Social Services Division in 1997, and True submitted to a polygraph test administered by a detective from the Vermont State Police, which True passed. As a result, no charges were filed.
There are other threads here regarding this:

does anyone know where this is?.
.
The website for selling the property is:
The 1971 Yearbook
Three floors of the Towers Hotel leased
March 1975 Kingdom Ministry
WT buys Towers Hotel - notice the date ;)
does anyone know where this is?.
.
It's the top part of the Towers Hotel in Brooklyn

Also check this out for a couple of aerial views of the building

is anyone else having this problem?.
It appears that the work-around is to click on the tab 'Latest' at the top
This resets the cookie and it should all work OK
The problem appears to be the newly introduced 'Hottest' tab
Which means the other work-around is, just don't use the 'Hottest' tab, I don't

ok, i am reading through the book the watchtower and the masons by fritz spring meier which i am finding a fascinating read; and discovered that judge rutherford published the book 'cause of death'.
what is incredible is the book cover.
the book was published in 1932 which would have been a little bit more eye catching back then.
comparing the online web article to the print article.
