suffern tenants must move after jehovah's witnesses group buys building .
suffern the nonprofit organization behind the jehovahs witnesses has purchased an apartment complex in the village with plans to use it as temporary housing for members while they work to build a massive new headquarters in nearby warwick, orange county.. the sale of the 48-unit suffern commons at 10-12 chestnut st. closed last week, a spokesman for the watchtower society told the journal news.. the deal forces families in the three-story building to quickly find alternative housing and could mean a loss to the village of $56,000 in annual property taxes if the new owner secures a religious tax exemption which it is interested in, spokesman richard devine said.. before the sale was confirmed, tenants spent the past few weeks anxiously trying to figure out why some of them received notices to vacate by june 30. others who had signed one-year leases or didnt know when their leases were up, like terri fosina-friedman, also have prepared to move.. but the painful process and lack of information from their landlord and the new owner has angered many residents, fosina-friedman said.. im just happy that i got it settled and i got another place to live and my son can stay in the school district, she said.. the watchtower society, the brooklyn-based organization that establishes doctrine for millions of jehovahs witnesses around the world, intends to honor tenants existing leases at suffern commons, devine said.
he indicated that the society would consider an extension of the june 30 move-out deadline.. were going to work with the tenants, he said.
Rumor has it Suffern Commons has been put up for sale.
Good news for Suffern residents who will gain over $50K in property taxes going forward. This must have been a great hit to the schools, police, DPW, etc. that normal, functioning members of society all know they must contribute to.
These selfish cult people sucked money out of the community. Hope the new neighbors are productive, beneficial types who actually want to live there and support the town.
"sorry, what's disgusting?
", i replied.
"that thing we've just called on", the sister said in response.
“Isn't it disgusting?”
“That thing that just knocked on my door.”
“You know, the preacher lady. I can't wait until people like that are no more. They hardly ever change and give up their harsh judgements. I doubt she’ll read the science article I gave her explaining that you can’t pray the gay away, you’re simply born that way.”
god provides.

Also tripped over this little gem from a local politician writing October 2015: Misinformation in Fishkill
The peasants were mighty displeased about the Watchtower land purchase being removed from the tax rolls. It became a political football at the time. Wonder how they’ll feel about it becoming a private waterfront $anctuary for “religious order” recreation?

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses allowed to read Orlando Times sermons? 
If this young lady was a study progressing to baptism, would she be allowed to share in the ministry as an unbaptized publisher?
Would she be allowed to keep her position, considering her employer actively partners with Christendom as part of its business model?
Or would she be coerced to quit a paying job so as not to stumble others?

Oops. They removed her article but not the byline.
i saw this posted on another forum and it raises a very good question.
maybe we can get a go fundme page to pay for the lawyer fees?
get a good shark lawyer on this?
Education. The WTBTS masquerades as an Education nonprofit.
As long as they print some skimpy brochures, or throw up a few articles online from time to time, they qualify.
Doesn’t matter that cart-sitters are virtually invisible, they offer Bible-based (tm) education free to the public.
Watchtower could cancel door-to-door work, eliminate the worldwide Bethel population, and operate with an 8-person skeleton crew.
They’d still qualify.
Historically, they’ve enjoyed agricultural exemptions, too. Watchtower was very clever to install a BIBLE MUSEUM at Warwick HQ. No matter how tarnished their reputation, no matter how many Witnesses leave, they could still solicit public donations on that basis alone. While sitting on billion$ in recent real estate transactions, and
compounded interest plus principal going back over a hundred years.
Works for them, works for Orange County, NY tourism and economic development. Very happy to have new neighbors fix up a decrepit site within the park and bring in busloads of neatly dressed, well-mannered consumer$.
Tourism is their new gig. Education always has been, and will remain, their phony, fraudulent front.
