  Yes. The Watchtower is a veritable media empire, the likes of which shall forever crush Al Gore's Interwebs thingy.
  
  Difference is, the public actually choose to use it. Rely on it for darn near every little thing.
  
  As Watchtowers pile up unmolested at laundromats.
  
  Truly the battle of the century. Awake! us when Jah of Armies succeeds, and point me to my panda.

  Every JW parent should be forced to watch this episode: And The Children Shall Lead.

  Cognitive dissonance = being a kid in the pre-1975 era when these fresh-faced orphans were calling on some "demon" entity…

  How long until we see a "Sunday School" program?

  by Cinciguy74 in

  2. beliefs

  so we are seeing wt videos aimed at children, a feature for children in the watchtower aimed at young children, just how long until we start seeing some form of a sunday school for young children?.

  i know in the past it has been ridiculed by the wts, but the reality is that it is a better method for teaching children than sitting in the kh where they can't sit still for more than 5 minutes anyway..

  Go to the Verizon Superpages site and type in "kingdom hall" or "jehovah's witnesses" for your locale.

  I tried it all over my state, different towns, different counties. Then I tried it across the U.S. Here's what most of them say under Products & Services:
  
  • Bible Studies
  • Child Care
  • Children's Church
  • Church School
  • Classes
  • Counseling
  • Prayer Services
  • Worship Services
  
  
  Can you imagine if actual Christians called the Kingdom Hall for assistance?
  
  
  "I'm returning to work and would like to enroll my son your Child Care program. Do you offer half-day Classes for toddlers?"
  
  
  "I have an 8- and a 15-year-old. What's the schedule like at your Church School? Do you offer Classes for teens? My daughter especially loves to sing, please tell me about your music program."
  
  
  "It's been almost a year now since Mom passed away. Dad is really having a tough go of it. We're interested in some Counseling, and maybe a Prayer Service."
  
  
  "Hi, we just moved to town and saw your ad for Worship Services. How frequently do you offer communion?"
  
  
  Utter. Nonsense.

  I've been following some of the Kingdom Halls in other Manhattan neighborhoods for awhile now, one in particular was up for sale through Massey Knakal four years ago.

  Suffice it to say for now, the value is not in the buildings themselves, but in the air rights/transfer development rights.
  
  Hope to post more about it after the weekend.

  Jehovah’s Witnesses puts EV property up for grabs

  67 Avenue C (credit: PropertyShark)

  In the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ latest move to prepare for an upstate relocation, the group has put another piece of property on the market, but not in Brooklyn. This time it’s seeking a buyer for an East Village property.

  Crain’s reported Jehovah’s Witnesses is selling Kingdom Hall, a worship space located at 67 Avenue C at 5th Street. So far there’s no asking price for the 3,050-square-foot, two-story building, which sits on land zoned for 10,000 square feet of residential development. Massey Knakal Realty Services, which previously handled several sales of Jehovah’s Witnesses properties in Brooklyn, was tapped to market the East Village property as well. Massey Knakal Chairman Robert Knakal told Crain’s that he believes this is the first Kingdom Hall for sale in the city — there are nine others like it around Manhattan.

  Most of the group’s property is concentrated in Brooklyn Heights. As previously reported, a Jehovah’s Witnesses-owned property at 161 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights sold in early March and promptly went back on the market as a rental. Most recently, developer and landlord David Bistricer filed plans to convert the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bossert Hotel back into a hotel again. [Crain's]

  i was reading a novel by a british author, robert goddard.

  i have read several of his books but in this one, "past caring" he spells the word "connexion" instead of "connection".

  i had never seen that spelling before.

  I guess it could be worser.

  Do you have to go outside to have a fag? Careful where you leave your butts.

  
  
  
  LOL @ Glander.
  
  When we first moved here, Mr. B asked a cousin in a neighboring burgh about good restaurants. Quite a few where we grew up were housed in historic buildings going back to the Revolutionary era.
  
  So, one Saturday night we go out to the one called "Connexions." In a Victorian-era train station. How *kewl* is that?
  
  We're traipsing up the stairs and there's hot photos of shirtless men in a$$less chaps. I'm getting a funny feeling. We arrive at the top and it's apparent: We're in a gay men's nightclub.
  
  So we politely decline. End up at a lovely Morris Canal inn within a stone's throw down the road.
  
  The one starting with a "C" that his cousin had recommended at the outset. Not exactly a worst case scenario.

  Petition: Tell Museums to Stop Hiding Watchtower's Past

  by rebel8 in

  2. friends

  please sign this petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/watchtower-hitler/ .

  tell holocaust memorial museums all over the world they should stop hiding the truth about the watchtower societys decades-long anti-semitic/pro-hitler stance.

  while individual jehovahs witnesses were suffering at the hands of the nazis, its mother organization was outspokenly supporting hitler and demeaning jews.

  The raving ranting demonstrators at Yankee Stadium back in the 1970s and 80s had no affect on me.
  
  Other than, they were "of Satan" and just pushed me further into my mother's chosen cult.
  
  Epic fail. To this day I have nothing but sheer resentment towards them.
  
  
  So I focus instead on "worldly people."
  
  Worldly people don't give a flying eff that JW children are abused, that happens in every faith.
  
  Worldly people don't give a flying eff that JWs refuse blood. So what if stupid people reject medicine? That's their own fault, right?
  
  
  What they truly want to know is how to get JWs off their doorsteps. Just make them go away.
  
  Simple simple. Politely explain how to be put on the Do Not Call List. You can shut down entire neighborhoods this way. The results are exponential.

  You can rant, rave, b*tch and scream all you want at JWs and nothing will get through to them. Scientific facts and documented history mean nothing to them.
  
  But speak with your neighbors, coworkers, classmates about how to *legally* address their incessant preaching, and everyone wants to know about the Witnesses.
  
  How to get rid of them.
