the dubsters in the uk are being taken for such a ride.. on one side they have prime land and property to sell in north london worth many millions of uk pounds.. on the other they have bought a contaminated site used for years of illegal dumping.
one of the main contaminants is asbestos.
it will take volunteer labour months simply to remove the toxic material.
DD: Did the WTBTS come up with Temple Farms?
No.
It was Temple Farm Salvage before they bought it. A car wrecking company.
And, apparently there is a wood to the west of the site that is called "Temple Wood".
Maybe it was the existing name that led them to believe that Jehobah had earmarked the site for them ahead of time.
Some more info from the Chelmsford City Council:
hello all i am fairly new to this site even though i have been da since i was 16 years old i am now 35 years old.
i have had very little contact with my family since i left maybe a handful of times over the years.
i thought i put the past behind me and moved on i have 4 amazing kids of my own really supportive partner and great friends who have become my family.
Leela: I dont want to spend anymore of my life greiving over a father who really never was a good father.
You are right, you have no need to grieve for that man. That would be like saying that you miss the bad neighbors that moved out after making your life hell while they lived next door to you.
However, for those of us with estranged parents, the grieving is different. We grieve for the parents we should have had and didn't. Be prepared to miss the father you didn't have.
It's tough. Hang in there and give yourself permission to grieve if you have to. It's okay - it is a natural human response.

Skedaddle: Hey, how do you mark a thread?
You just did.
Any thread that you make a comment on will show up in your profile under "see topics posted on". Makes it easier to find again.
the initial conversation had to do with someone who has the ability to reason for them self's.
i than asked her.....why is the memorial in march and not in april when nissan 14 is?.
her response..."pray to jehovah for understanding.
goingthru: Why can't she open her eyes?
Fear. And a lack of belief in herself and her own ability to think. She has no self-empowerment - she has been told that she cannot reason for herself.
Afraid of being wrong. Afraid to let go. She thinks she might drown because she can't swim.

I think it is a bit early in the project to say that the Temple Farm Development is running into problems with asbestos removal. The WTS was fully aware that it is a contaminated site and I would suspect that they are following regulations in how to handle the contamination.
According to the Temple Farm Phasing Plan, it will be a five year project.
Temple Farm Development website:
http://www.templefarmdevelopment.co.uk/
Oh...and by the way...there was a thread on here a while back where someone was getting all excited because the site was restricted for a while and there were excavations going on. If you read the phasing plan, you will discover that those activities were part of an archaeological survey to see if there was anything historically important beneath the surface before proceeding with the project.

contrary to what the wt teaches, they ignore the wise words of ecc 10:19 "ecc 10:19 "a feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
"
I always laugh when people like Oprah say "money doesn't make you happy"
Money buys food and shelter. It fills your stomach and keeps you warm. Food and shelter make people happy.
I have noticed that the people who say "money doesn't make you happy" are the ones who are going to be eating that night and sleeping in a warm bed.

LostandFound: I heard from a source that they were actively looking to move bulk funds to territories that are secure and out of reach of western authorities, even as far as Asia.
That makes sense.
Wouldn't you do the same thing if you thought that your 'nest egg' was at risk of being seized? I don't believe for a minute that the WTS is just going on with "business as usual" when they know damn well that Australia will be coming up with a redress scheme that will put the WTS on the hook for millions, if not billions.
The WTS can hear the footsteps - the UK is next. And, in the UK, if you owe money, your assets in other countries can be seized. Not sure about Australia and Canada. But it wouldn't surprise me if it is similar for those countries - the ties and similarities in legal structure are close between them.

I couldn't handle the confusion anymore so I phoned Revenue Canada this morning and asked them about the Canadian WTS' return and why they no longer show assets and very little donations.
The person I talked to was very surprised that the return showed what it did and she was almost positive that the 2015 return that is displayed on the website is in error. She does not think that the return posted is actually the correct one for the WTS in Canada.
She is contacting her supervisor and will be looking into why the return seems to be inaccurate. "Look back in about two weeks and if the return hasn't changed by then, contact us again". And "thanks for getting a hold of us as this charity is a very large and active one and I cannot see them making major changes without us knowing about it."
So...patience, Grasshopper...

The donations that come from the individual congregations must get sent directly to New York - do not pass "go" and do not collect $$$...go directly to Crooklyn.
The donations from each congregation exceed the total amount of revenue declared by the Canadian branch office.
