Uhm... false. Home depot was founded by arther blank (and some other people i believe). He owns the atlanta falcons nfl team. The org may have owned stock or one of the partners may have been a witness or something along those lines but the chain wasnt started by the borg nor ever owned by them

Suffern tenants must move after Jehovah's Witnesses group buys building
by TJ Curioso insuffern tenants must move after jehovah's witnesses group buys building .
suffern the nonprofit organization behind the jehovahs witnesses has purchased an apartment complex in the village with plans to use it as temporary housing for members while they work to build a massive new headquarters in nearby warwick, orange county.. the sale of the 48-unit suffern commons at 10-12 chestnut st. closed last week, a spokesman for the watchtower society told the journal news.. the deal forces families in the three-story building to quickly find alternative housing and could mean a loss to the village of $56,000 in annual property taxes if the new owner secures a religious tax exemption which it is interested in, spokesman richard devine said.. before the sale was confirmed, tenants spent the past few weeks anxiously trying to figure out why some of them received notices to vacate by june 30. others who had signed one-year leases or didnt know when their leases were up, like terri fosina-friedman, also have prepared to move.. but the painful process and lack of information from their landlord and the new owner has angered many residents, fosina-friedman said.. im just happy that i got it settled and i got another place to live and my son can stay in the school district, she said.. the watchtower society, the brooklyn-based organization that establishes doctrine for millions of jehovahs witnesses around the world, intends to honor tenants existing leases at suffern commons, devine said.
he indicated that the society would consider an extension of the june 30 move-out deadline.. were going to work with the tenants, he said.

Thats fair. I took dub’s question to mean “is there something sinister sneaky or otherwise culty” about the situation which there does not apoear to be.... But yes in the realm of general jw information it is worth noting.

2018 Courage Convention video invitation
by Listener inthe video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.
i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.
next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

The anti vaccination thing among witnesses is well more than 60 years ago. Im in my mid 40’s and was vaccinated by my witness parents. The cult hasnt had an anti vaccination screed published in my lifetime. There may be pockets of witnesses who hold on to it but its not been an official or even unofficial position in a very long time

I assume its a reference to the storm on the sea galie when the apostles thought they were going to die and jesus calmed the storm. It suppsed to evoke the stormy times they think we live in and comfort the dubbies with a reminder that jesus can calm the storm.
pardon me while i puke

Lol wooooow! Weird. Weird weird weird! And how in the world would this qualify as a “public service announcment”? Im not saying it dosent, mind you, but who benefits from this?? God its so..... icky. Just plain weird and icky.
Also did you catch where that regional was being held...? Not in a rented statium. It looked like an assembly hall. And it wasnt very many people. It looked like a circuit assembly. I imagine that was for production purposes but why send the message of “small” when they are inviting people? Why not make it look big and impressive? Im so glad not to be associated with this crap.

The kh scam burns me up for the reasons that stuck mentioned. For whatever its worth here is a link to another topic where i explained what happened locally. I have no illusions that the selling of kh’s will be the issue that wakes people up en mass but it certainly has helped. Melano park being a big one but there was hall in texas that created a huge stir as well. People dont like theft, even when its gods organization doing the stealing.
