so mr bsom and i got to talking and we got to wondering if there aren't other compound like buildings being structured, or if assembly halls have been built with greater living quarters?

Hm, I can see that. That makes sense. African countries can be really unstable.
I know a couple that went there as missionaries. :/ Don't know if they're still there.
I'm realizing that w exjws there's probably two schools of thought....
a) People who think that the GB are in it for the $$
b) People who think that the GB are delusional whackadoodles who think they're the bees knees.

What if they actually believe it?
See, I'm not so sure they're not delusional.
I tend to think that no, this is not a money scheme at this point. This is they truly have it in their heads they're God's Elite Squad.

Would you say that to surviving family members of Waco? Jonestown? No?
Why?
Look, I'm looking at the evidence the JW's have put out there.
They watch this place, we all know that. That's a big duh.
What they're putting out there is bizarre. But they're sure as hell not stupid.

But ... the thing is...
They're not stupid. They watch this place. Hell, they probably have specialized servants for the job of hawking this place.
I wouldn't be so sure that everything gets leaked.
:/

Was going to edit my above post but thought this would get lost...
I thought it was interesting that the bunker video depicted the bro/sis as being holed up in a hidden basement. They communicated through secret knocks. It was apparent that it was an underground area when they heard the noises up above. However, when the others came to the door it appears they came through a different way to get to the door.
It's interesting that they have this depicted this way. At first I thought, that's just 'imagery', however, I don't think they do anything 'by accident'. Things are calculated pretty well.
However, no, the Bethels are not large enough.
What is?

no, I said is it possible there is
a) more than meets the eye to these things
b) other places that they have in mind for either being built or have been built
i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.
they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.
but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.
DY you don't think that the present fear mongering has been stepped up?

well, I realize that, but even say NY isn't big enough to take in all the jDubs from the US. Kwim?
So I have to wonder if there are smaller locations or plans. See what I'm saying?

I do wonder if rather than declaring the Great Tribulation has began, Watchtower will declare they are in the pre-tribulation period (perhaps the Peace and Security cry) and to begin to make preparations. I could imagine this involving selling all Kingdom Halls and going back to a “book study” arrangement meeting in smaller groups in private homes.
Londo, the way I'm slowly beginning to understand this is that once they declare the Great Tribulation is here, they can pull the "oh hey look at that Jesus has given us all the authority" card and then it's
a) the message will change, because they have the authority. Up until that time the message is always supposed to be preach about the King and his Kingdom But if they pull the 'now we have the real authority and such' card then they can change the message at whim.
b) to the bunkers
So it seems that at some point maybe in the relatively near future they're going to need something that shows the flock they have the right to make radical changes. And they'll need those changes in order to either go out with a bang or ... idk, amp it up? But to get those changes they need the followers in a mode of absolute, total compliance.
Maybe I have totally misunderstood it, but that's how it's coming across to me.
