  I do find a Walkhill closing to be unrealistic for they did just spend so much money remodeling and adding on. Also, I'm not sure who would buy such a thing. A weird mix of factory type buildings, farms, and apartments. It would have to be some crazy cult like the Branch Davidians, oh wait a cult already owns it. I do think that that Walkhill must be losing it's advantages. Even when I was there in 2000, they were already starting to downsize some of the farming they did there. They have to be losing money on the whole farming thing, especially when you consider how cheaply you can buy food instead of taking care and housing hundreds and hundreds of Bethelites so they can make milk. Does that make sense?

  The Wallkill land has grown in value over the years and just like the other farms in that region it could be developed for residential housing. They could make millions off a development deal.

  They don't really farm anymore because it's cheaper for them to buy food than grow it. It is not a fully functioning farm as it once was long ago. I still don't believe they are selling it off just yet because of the new printing complex.

  It's not easy to admit to yourself that your whole way of thinking and living has been a lie. Give them some time because they may come around to the real truth eventually.

  i have been sick and tired of not doing anything about the constant lies i get from the wt organization on various issues such as the u.n. no one from my parents to brooklyn can give me a straight answer on anything.

  so, yesterday, i decided to take a different approach.

  i live near a kh that actually has a apartment built on to the side of it for the co who serves all of the kh's in my area including my old hall that is over an hour away from where i currently live.

  He is going to tell you parents to shun you because you are a dangerous apostate. Is that what you want him to do?

  The above post is what I get when I do just that, it only pastes the part I started to type in this box and not the part I wrote in word.

  Wallkill is in a more rural area west of the Hudson River and Patterson is in a more suburban area east of the Hudson River. I haven't driven it, but these locations are a little more than an hour apart. Patterson is along a main road Rt 22 and Wallkill is really near farms. They did spend a lot of time on the landscaping at Patterson even though it?s tacky looking landscape. The buildings at Patterson are so ugly, I'm glad I don't have to pretend it's beautiful anymore.

  The main difference between Patterson and Wallkill is the attitude of the Bethelites. The ones at Patterson really do have sticks up their butts. The ones at Wallkill are usually a little more down to earth, but not that close since they still think they are holier than thou.
