Longs Drugs has purchased property for $7.6 million from the Jehovah’s Witnesses for a new store and pharmacy in East Honolulu near the Aina Haina Shopping Center, the broker who represented the seller told PBN.

Rhode Island-based CVS Caremark Corp.(NYSE: CVS), which owns the Longs Drugs chain in Hawaii, and KZ DevCo, the California-based company that serves as the drugstore chain's exclusive developer in the State of Hawaii, recently pulled building permits for the 1.4-acre property at 5156 Kalanianaole Highway, which was at one time was home to the popular Ranch House restaurant.

A CVS/Longs spokesman did not immediately return a message left by PBN.

The fee-simple property, which includes a two-story, 24,200-square-foot building, the former current home to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and a 2,279-square-foot building, the former home to a veterinarian clinic, had been on the market since the summer of 2012.

Mark Bratton , vice president of investment properties for Colliers International Hawaii, who represented the seller, told PBN that the Jehovah’s Witnesses sold the property because they need a smaller location closer to where their members live.

The property was one of the few fee-simple commercially-zoned properties located within the Aina Haina and Hawaii Kai neighborhoods, which has about 150,000 square feet of office space and approximately 783,000 square feet of retail space in the trade area, Colliers said.

With this limited inventory of commercial-zoned properties in the area, property sales are few and far between, according to Colliers, which noted that the nearby Aina Haina Shopping Center was sold in 2007, making it the last commercial property sale within that area.

CVS opened its newest Hawaii Longs Drugs store in May in Makiki, which was its first new full-service store in urban Honolulu in years.

Longs Drugs, which has operated in Hawaii since 1954, currently has 54 locations in the state. The Aina Haina neighborhood has longed for a drugstore chain to open in the area. Both Walgreens and Longs have stores in Hawaii Kai about four miles away.

Is there a copy of any of the current GB's passports, vowing allegiance to the constitution of the USA?

by LogCon in

does the usa still require the oath of allegiance?.

have any of the current gb made such an oath?.

where or how would i find a copy?.

Balaamsass2

The old Passport photo from the OP shows Knorr swore to "protect against all enemies foreign or domestic". To bad the JWs in Malawi didn't see that.

Passports are different now.

What will be the Reaction to Barbera Anderson`s New CD?

by OUTLAW in

we all know the shit is going to hit the fan,with the release of barbera anderson`s new cd:"secrets of pedophilia in an american religion:jehovah`s witness`s in crisis".....the wbt$ is going to take a beating,so are the jehovah`s witness`s.....there are two reactions to consider..and..they are the subject of this thread................what will be the reaction of the wbt$?..and..what will be the reaction of jehovah`s witness`s?...outlaw

Balaamsass2

Great old thread Outlaw.

Reaction?

After 50 + years in he BORG that CD info helped push me out.

I had been out in Sat field service when Henderson's (Northern California molester)conviction had been published in all the Nor Cal newspapers- and I got drilled about it by householders that AM. I had met some of his deeply damaged victims.

Yet I thought it was all a singular event UNTILL I read the ACTUAL letters in the court documents from the local COs proving they KNEW Henderson (and others) had been serial molesters PRIOR to re-appointing them as ELDERS. BARBRA'S documentation is very POWERFUL and proves HQ knew this guy and others were molesters BEFORE re-appointing them as ELders.

You never know WHICH straw will be the final straw that breaks the back of the camel.

The Spanking Room: A Child's Eye View of the Jehovah Witnesses

by Dogpatch in

jw
friends

anyone read this book?.

the author is sending me a copy, just wondered.

just published in july!.

Balaamsass2

Memories...........misty, water-colored memories...

The spanking rom was not as bad as the aftermath of the meetings. Mom was always upset, slighted, or guilty about something after the service meeting, which would result in downing at LEAST 2-3 drinks upon returning home. That would in turn lead to verbal or physical abuse if you didn't agree with her or keep her company. Uggh.....what a great warm and fuzzy spiritual paradise for children.

An angry husband punched out the guy who had an affair with his wife on the front steps of my old hall. Not one JW interfered. Elders just smiled. One of the few NORMAL reactions at the hall over many years.

I remember in the 60s JWs having a hard time with the oath for becomming a mail-man.
