Does this reek of CULT to you?

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/16/big-deal-jehovahs-witnesses-list-prime-properties/.

so this story was discussed earlier in another thread.

a line from the story has really been bugging me since reading it:.

Actually....I don't think this is that cultish at all(well, not too much).

I think they want to be away from any bad publicity that their social ineptness causes like on 9/11.

Out in the middle of nowhere there really isn't many people to turn away if a disaster strikes.

Plus I think if they can get a good price for their Brooklyn properties and build for less, why not?

They will probably need all that extra money to pay off settlements anyways.

I just wonder if they are going to find a way to make the congregations pay for it while keeping the Brooklyn money.

dear friends,.

it has been a long time since i have posted.

time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.

this is actually not a former witness or anything, this is a cracked style article.

i think it's pretty funny, i think it's evidence that the wt is not going to be around forever.

I put up paranoid-eye wallpaper. I love it!

are we sure that its not really about jw's?

the writers aren't former cult members?.

i find the sci fi bits a little hard to understand, would appreciate some enlightening before i move on to numbers 2 and 3 please?.

Great movie, eh? It's one of my favorites.

The 2nd and 3rd aren't as good but I still like them a lot and enjoy the ride.

I know that the Wachowski's are comic book fans and before those movies were made there was a comic book trend that, "everything you know is wrong."

If you want, check out Grant Morrisson's The Invisibles. Grant was even pissed off that some of The Matrix seemed to be a blatent swipe of his book.

WT cautions against playing pac-man 1982 Awake

by EndofMysteries in

with bizarre names like pac-man, asteroids, space invaders, battlezone and donkey kong, video games have landed themselves not only in amusement arcades but also in corner drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, fast-food parlors and nearly everywhere else that people congregate.

their beeps and booms and colorful lights have captured the fancy and imagination of a new generation of players to the point of obsession.. other than the obvious appeal to teenagers and its commercial success, the proliferation of arcade video games has triggered reactions ranging from strong parental protests to outright government bans.

in the philippines, president marcos officially banned the games and gave owners two weeks to destroy them.

Their beeps and booms and colorful lights have captured the fancy and imagination of a new generation of players to the point of obsession.

But the big question is: Does that 1982 generation overlap with todays generation?

Dating Site To Help Workaholics For Finding Life Partner

by shareesage in

the reception we received in houston has exceeded our expectations by a long shot.

a lot of the success has to do solely with the people weve hired to run our office.

they are exceptional individuals, who not only take the time to truly listen to our clients, but they take a personal interest in our members social lives as well.

Spectre

No thanks!

I'm much more interested in the BBW ads at the side of the page.

I don't think I've posted on many threads that you've posted on, BOTR, but I've read a lot of your posts and I don't want you leaving any time soon either.

The world is passing away but He that does the will of God remains forever - 1Jo. 2:17

by mankkeli in

this was taken from the watchtower 1975, august 15. paragraphs 12&13.

12 resources and abilities that we might possess should be used to advance kingdom interests, rather than letting them serve as hindrances in the race for life.

for instance, if you have an extra house, could you sell it and use the money to enter the pioneer service instead of working hard to maintain both houses?

The original Green Lantern had a cape! I have a drawing somewhere by the guy who created him.

Kinda funny....unlike the Hal Jordan GL that had a weekness of all things yellow, Alan Scott's rings weekness was wood. The amish would beat his ass down something fierce with all that wood all around.
