absolutely nothing.... has anyone dared ask what they need this place for?
think about a few things.
in bethels hay day, there was a shit ton of literature being printed, they even need a giant factory with elevators a truck could fit in.
On a more serious front -
What Cult of note has no compound? - seriously, guys, it's not complicated.

Great thread title!
Now you have me singing Edwin Starrs song "War"
War(wick), huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again...
Good play on words -
ditto to DDog and Vidiot
i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.
it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.
that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.
Good letter.
For your Dad:
(Romans 12:2) And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
PROVE to yourself.
(Acts 17:11) Now the latter were more noble-minded than those in Thes·sa·lo·ni′ca, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.
CAREFULLY EXAMINING ... WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO.
Ronald Reagan referring to Russian saying: "Trust, but verify."
i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.
she is on morphine and hanging on.
she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.
Sorry Dude (Dudette?).
Lost a parent and a sibling this year.
The Dub world provides a superficial answer to this loss.
What is the real answer?
The only ones with all the answers seem to have a monetary response.
Continue to express your feelings with those worthy of such.
what if the society know it only has to lose one big case to lose a whole set of cases on precedent of the first case?.
this means they will lose millions of dollars in lawsuits and settlements.
which means their financial stability is under threat.

i haven't posted for quite awhile, just usually lurk, but thought surely someone would have noticed this on jw.org.
this was under the article about distractions.
i clicked on the article and below is the "accurate" prediction that the wt made back in 1958. this has to prove they have jehovah's backing, don't you think?
Bit of a weird post, IMO.
WTS has always railed against "distractions," which are anything in life non-WT.
