  i'm following an old friend on instagram who's an uber elder and he does lots of work on kh's and has gone to warwick on his own dime to help with the construction.

  on his instagram post he says " i can't post pictures of the kh remodel but i can post pics of jack daniels that i had afterwards" or some such.

  why aren't they allowed to take pics of remodels?

This is the first I've heard of this latest policy. Anyone else know anything about this?

  Witness Royalty and the last day at the "Towers"

  my uber elder cousin and his wife got the "privilege" of having one last "toast" of wine at the rooftop garden at the towers in nyc since the jw's are vacating to warwick.

  his oldest daughter and son in law are quite high up in the inner circle so they get invited to all the "inner circle" activities.

  even though they aren't supposed to toast to anything it was pretty darn close.

  I understand what you are saying, I've been strongly shunned for 40 years so I'm not sure it would matter. Sometimes I think I would like others to know if they do know him. Probably not the best plan. But it really doesn't matter now, water under the bridge for sure.

  Couldn't get a screen shot unfortunately. And yes my uber elder cousin has money, just inherited a boat load from his non witness father and is extensively remodeling the family house on Puget Sound. and I'm sure he sends $$ to his daring daughter and SIL for extra things they might need at Bethel/Warwick. Even though the daughter and SIL fly all over the world checking on the different branches and telling them how to remodel or build their KH's. A few years ago they went to India because they were looking for a cheaper place to print the publications. Guess they don't need to worry about that anymore either since there are practically no publications.

  And some people who are "witness royalty" like my cousin will be traveling to Warwick to attend. His oldest daughter and son in law have been there for 7 years and are quite high up in the org. I'm sure there will be pictures of them with the GB and they will probably even get to stay in the compound. As usual it depends on who you are in JW land.

  so i saw on instagram from one of the major uber elders from everett wa posted a picture of where he was staying for the week long safety training the ldc was putting on.

  well this "suite" had a full bar for one thing and everything else was quite fancy!

  he was complaining about losing $$ for a week since he had to go to this training but the accommodations were wonderful.

Does the LDC pay for the accommodations if you get there under your own power?

  Well at least someone is enjoying themselves.......

  Last nights CLAM meeting

  so hadn't been to a clam meeting in quite a few months, but went last night.

  so we learned that gog of magog is not satan as previously believed.

  they used a few scriptures that made it clear that it couldn't be satan and that it would be a coalition of nations.

  And what about the old story line that Jehovah would read people's hearts so you didn't necessarily have to be baptized to make it through Armaggedon? I guess that is old light as well.

  Is the End right around the corner or what???

  interesting observations i've noticed when visiting my uber elder cousin and his wife.

  he just inherited a lovely home on the water on puget sound from his non jw dad who passed away earlier this year.

  so they have spent many $$$ and months remodeling this house to their standards which are quite expensive tastes.

  yes there are quite a few rich JW's here in Seattle, they are always traveling and doing fun stuff, Oh and they stop in at a branch headquarters when they are traveling so I'm sure they can legitimize the travel. No one seems too concerned around here. Of course if you are a rich JW it's much easier anyway.

  funny my cousin was talking about long term health care insurance since they are about 66 or so and are apparently not counting on Armaggedon any time soon either. How do these people live with themselves? It's so hypocritical but of course they can't see it at all.

He just inherited a lovely home on the water on Puget Sound from his non JW dad who passed away earlier this year. So they have spent many $$$ and months remodeling this house to their standards which are quite expensive tastes. IIt really didn't need all the upgrades that they have done. And they have just gotten a new car as well, his wife said to me "Oh this will be our "death car" or the last car we own before we die." Hmmmm? Oh and his youngest daughter and husband that lives in this inherited house are going to live there for another year and then they will build their own house on some property 30 miles north of this house. So I guess the plans continue even though the ORG is telling everyone to simplify etc. or go where the great are needed (or where the need is great!) I guess that doesn't apply to JW royality.

  So I don't even think they realize what they are saying when they say this stuff to me and it's very amusing! Of course I didn't say anything like "what about Armaggedon coming next week" just more fun to listen to what this idiots are saying.
