Patterson vs Walkill vs Warwick

by Magnum in

i understand that warwick is to be the new world headquarters of jws, patterson is an educational complex, and walkill is a literature production center.

will patterson continue to be used as it is now after the completion of warwick?

if not, what will happen to it?

insidetheKH yes you are correct - however a recent c.o visit informed us that some (probably a small amount) of the european printing is done in canada - but he didn't say for which countries though. very strange.

Hoser is right all of the literature for Canada U.S and I believe some parts of Europe are printed in Canada.

Its a bit of a mystery why they need to build more literature facilities if the Canadian bethel prints all that and the European bethels are being downsized and amalgamated etc.

Also the amount of printing is going down and is cheaper.

Less magazines - with less pages, softcover books.

Encouraging people to print their own or to read from their iPads and tablets etc.

I can see in the near future the printing going rapidly down to the basics - the very bare minimum until it stops.

So why build more facilities and educational centres. If all of the buildings have been doing the job okay until now whats the point ?

Why build new halls and keep on asking for money why not sell the existing hall and use that money to build a new one or modify the existing hall ?

Why empty out all of the congregation funds and then still ask for more ?

Lets face it - if the end is so close why can't they just use the halls and buildings they have already and put all the extra money into the preaching work. They obviously do not think it will end soon.

I know about the re selling and flipping of properties and the court cases but come on where does all the money go ?

Why can't they be honest and just show the rank and file all of their bank info - after all the rank and file give their contributions and have no idea where it goes ?

If it is for court cases then change the stupid 2 witness rule and put an end to all of this.

Otherwise there are some rich people behind the scenes making a pretty penny from the gullible in the congregations - its disgusting.

OKAY SO JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM MY SISTER WHO ALWAYS FORWARDS ANY JW STUFF AS SHE IS A TOTAL JDUB AND WILL NEVER CHANGE AND SHE DOESNT KNOW THAT I AM FADING.

THE EMAIL READS...

Regarding the happy video... Hello all,

My name is Josh Chang and I was one of the producers and creators of the video. Thank you for your appreciation of the video. It took many hours and a lot of effort to create.

The thing is, it was meant for a private audience and spreading it around is causing potential legal issues with the song copyright as well as the fact that we did not obtain releases from all the almost 900 participants who were in the video. Also, it might cause issues with our assignments here at Bethel, which would be heartbreaking.

Therefore, we are requesting that you please inform everyone you notified as well as deleting all copies that you may have downloaded or been sent. Please do not post it or share it. Also, if you have, please notify those individuals to do the same. This is especially critical if you have posted it in a format that allows others to download it.

Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

Your brother,

josh I 24655 I US-RDC I WATCHTOWER [BROOKLYN]

JUST THOUGHT YOU ALL MIGHT FIND THIS VERY INTERESTING.

On Wikipedia it explains the meaning of the pinky ring (in the u.k we always thought it meant you were gay,lol.

Here is the quote from Wikipedia.

Indications of affiliation or conveying messages[edit]

At times, pinky rings have been worn with the intent to convey a message or indicate affiliation. During the Victorian era, both single men and women uninterested in pursuing marriage could wear a ring on the little finger of their left hand. [5] In the 1950s and 1960s, [6] These rings became a self-identifying symbol in the gay community, [7] worn by both gay men and lesbians. [8] Especially in the United States, pinky rings also developed an association with criminal activity. [9] Grifters were thought to wear such rings, sometimes to provide their associates with a source of funding for their funeral expenses in case of their death, [10] as were made men in the American Mafia. [11] Movies such as Little Caesar and The Godfather contributed to the association of this style of jewellery with organized crime. [12]

Surely if you are setting an example to us then you should be very careful what you wear say and do. If it was me I would have looked into these rings before even thinking of wearing them.

Now bright socks are a no go - but pinky rings are okay....

After all they are supposed to be setting an example.
