I also think it has to do with getting building permits approved by the town of Patterson. But I here they have 3 building permits approved and they are waiting to start construction after warwick is completed.

by lostinthought inforgive me if this has been posted already but this was in my local paper today.. http://m.recordonline.com/article/20150307/news/150309486/0/wap&template=wapart.
if you have time to read, this is an interesting article talking about watchtowers property in ulster and orange county ny and how much the properties are worth.
it also goes on to show how the tax exempt stays is hurting the communities..

Having served at the Farm, I can tell you that the local residents resent the Watchtower for this! That is people's biggest gripe.

What is the basis for authority for the governing body?
by Half banana ina word to jehovahs witnesses: what is the basis for the authority the seven members of the governing body can claim in controlling the lives of eight million followers?
the organisation they represent has never got one useful piece of information correct in one hundred and thirty five years... so why should they be believed?.

I realize that they will quote the scripture in ! cor. 13:8 about powers going away, but I wish someone would challenge them to a fire holder test, like Moses and Korah, or the fire from heaven elijah test. In either case I believe that absolutely nothing would happen. It would prove they are frauds, or vice versa if it actually worked. -

The guy in the video who turns down the promotion does it because he knows his wife will nag him that he misses meetings. That is the situation for many of us stuck in by marriage. When I skip, I'm happy, have no anxiety, but when the wife gets home I get guilt tripped and nagged about not going.
But when I go, my wife is happy but I am miserable. No peace either way! It really sucks to be in this situation

Recorded judicial committee hearings
by Bamidbar ini believe that the best way to inoculate any friend or relative of yours from becoming more deeply involved in the watchtower is exposure to recordings of the judicial process.. that goes for those already in the watchtower---if you can get them to listen.. what in your opinion are the best available online?.
i recommend several.
i am writing this off the cuff and do not have all the exact links, but you should find them easily.. anondud2 - on youtube.

I think the fact that they mentioned brainwashing in the tv broadcast, talked about not complaining and following directions at the LDC meeting, and are always going on about apostates in literature and public talks, show that they are scared!
I think they get a lot of phone calls and letters about people not believing what they say.
My family would shun me even if I faded. I am trying to plan my escape.

New Apostate: Tempest in a Teacup
by Tempest in a Teacup infirst post on here.
i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.
i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".

When talking about the injustice in today's congo, they always say wait for God. The stars are in Jesus hand. And yet, God held Eli to a different standard when he condoned his two son's wrongdoing!
So why was Eli punished so harshly, but today the problem is with the people who are stumbled by an elders wrongdoing? I could never figure that logic out.

I haven't read anything that suggests that anyone in his congo knew he was drunk. He gave a great talk and no one but us is the wiser.
Quitting isn't that easy for some of us. I'm in the same spot as cappytan, I have a few drinks before the meeting, than I go and just sit there playing on my phone. This act alone helps pacify my wife. I don't cause a scene, I smile and wave to people, and go home.
If I could just quit and still have a relationship with my family I would.
