They will probably win this. But it's nice to see that the town is not just caving in. I think some of the Brooklyn boys didn't think this through very well. They bought property without getting the zoning right. They may end up paying for that.

Liars!!!! Somewhat off topic but related, you might have noticed that they have Indians, or at least South Asians in the photographs. Those of you here who are familiar with WT's publishing tactics probably realize that this is targeted at that audience. Dubs in places like NYC use pictures like that to draw in foreigners. And most expatriate South Asians read English. I point this out because the WT is so good at targeting people who are too new to the West to know much about their reputation and cultish ways. More taking advantage of innocents.

6/15 WT- GB More Powerful than Worldwide Anointed- Don't Judge Partaking
by flipper inmore of the latest from the june 15th " witness only " watchtower.
under the article " the faithful steward and it's governing body " there were some very telling quotes which could indicate how the wt society is tightening the control of it's members - and trying to justify more partaking of the emblems at the memorial since the numbers partaking have gone up from about 8,000 to 10,000 since they no longer feel that the sealing of the anointed ended in 1935.. so first off, notice this quote indicating the importance of elevating the governing body over the rest of the anointed around the earth.
paragraph 16 it states , " are all these anointed ones throughout the earth part of a global network that is somehow involved in revealing new spiritual truths ?

They have been getting so much well thought criticism of the fact that they don't have any network of "anointed" like they implied over the years. Why Ray brought this out over twenty years ago. Its high time that they explained it. Its false logic of course. After all how do you represent a group when you have no clue who they are? Where they live? What their concerns are? But the gullible, controlled dubs will look the other way. Of course there will be the few who will see this for what it is....

You know, this sounds so much like one of those old Star Trek episodes where the Captain is around controlled people and he has to be real careful because the slightest comment can set them off. JWs are so conditioned to think a certain way and go after any dissenters, sometimes they can't even recognize when their own leadership are the ones making the changes.

WT Society's Skewed View of Speaking Truth - June 15th Witness Only WT
by flipper inonce again our lurking jw friend sent us a copy of the june 15th " witness only " watchtower.
all i can say is that the wt society sure knows how to compartmentalize and pick and choose how they view truth and honesty.
i'll share some of these " golden nuggets " and see what you think.

Well at least this is consistent with what they've said in the past. What is amazing is that they have to be so stinkin' legalistic about everything. Why not just discuss plain old honesty, the need for it and why it is essential for peaceful human relations. You know, the gist of the scripture in the title. Leave all the exceptions to individual issues that come up. And as for trickery and cunning, let us not forget all of their trickery and cunning on a whole host of issues.

never before 1995...no date or period for the end...we are in uncharted waters
by oompa inright now.......and since 1995.....wt has no real teaching to show how close we are to the end......none......most dubs prob dont even know......but wt has always been about dates.....and how close the end is to those dates......but now.....since we unplugged the generation of 1914 to the end of the world.......and now that we are still recruiting the anointed for heaven......the last days can last and last and last......duh...that is why they are called the last days!!
!........and so do they still teach it is "very, very near" (only used one time in wt)....or "imminent" ??
?......just a year ago i think?.......so how close do they say we are now and why?.........damm the bible is soooo clear that nobody knows the day or hour...yet i bet they still say is just around the corner (based on what scripture!?!??!?!?!)..........
