  Those oldsters who know too much get sent to Fishkill. Once the accountant$, lawyer$, real e$tate dealers start getting dementia it's too risky to farm them out to worldly facilities.

  Jehovah's Witnesses contract to buy third Fishkill property
  

  The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York has a purchase contract with AVR Realty, the private developer active in that area, to acquire a project under construction, LaColla said.

  The project is known as the Chelsea Senior Living facility and was being built by a unit of AVR to serve as a combination of assisted living facility, independent living for seniors and some townhouses, he said.

  800 Sacandaga Loop #1000 was sold November 2015 for $4.5 million. It's listed as a "private hospital".

  Iowa Democratic Caucus - Just WOW

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  there was a babylon bee or onion spoof article a few weeks back claiming the democrats would lose their own caucus and ... well, they managed to do it for real.. apparently they can't count their own votes, their app and process is now steeped in corruption (created by a company called 'shadow' that has taken money from multiple candidates as well as the dnc and has links to clinton) and multiple candidates have declared themselves the winner.

  biden has apparently done so badly that he's going to court to block the results being announced.

  no estimate of when they will be released even.. how do they come up with this ... and what does it mean for the election results where they oversee the counts?.

  Buttigieg paid Shadow $42,500 last summer and declared himself the victor before any official results had been released. #MayorCheat

  The colorful personality has more need of self-control...

  

  
  

  ...and must in particular guard against the snare of creature worship.
  

  In '63 that would have been JFK or MLK. Stop looking at real leaders and turn off that T.V.!

  HORRORWOOD.

  Because the entire religion is a horror show culminating in Armageddon.

  Ever notice a lot of JWs don't have pets?

  by JimmyYoung in

  2. beliefs

  i was told by several elders to not get a dog when i was looking for one in the 80s.

  the end was close and we needed to focus on the preaching work.

  i know some have pets but a lot don't.

  When the Warwick fortress was first inhabited, one of the whiney-winey Brooklyn migrants leaked that a dog was kept on site.

  Named Sterling, after the lake.

  Another High School Shooting ... Pleasantville, New Jersey

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last evening (15 nov 2019) at a high school football game in new jersey, another shooting.

  "fortunately," the injuries are apparently not life threatening.. that's at least the second shooting this week.

  if all the students were armed, they could have just shot the guy.. we need more guns, not less.

  It always helps to provide an actual link to the perpetrators.

  In this particular case, ADULT black male gang-bangers from that waterfront, crime-infested shithole, Atlantic City.
  

  Wyatt [27] is charged with three counts of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

  Michael Mack, 27; Tyrell Dorn, 28, and Shahid Dixon, all of Atlantic City, along with Vance Golden, 26, of Pleasantville, are charged with weapons offenses, including possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

  Dixon is also charged with eluding.

  “Unlike some of the shootings that have occurred on school premises throughout the country, this incident had nothing to do with the students of Pleasantville High School or Camden High School. The venue simply presented an opportunity for criminals to pursue their own form of petty vengeance against one another. As a result, an innocent child was caught and injured in their crossfire. Our community will not be held hostage by a few idiots intent on jeopardizing our safety and the safety of our children.”

  When GROWN-ASS ADULTS destroy everything good and wholesome about innocent children's sporting events, can we really characterize it as another "school shooting"?
  

  It's true-blue Democrat NJ's catch-and-release approach to repeat offenders who CHOOSE VIOLENCE by default.

  Do the Witnesses still allow women to preach in men's prisons?

  by JimmyYoung in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i knew of several women who would preach at the local correctional facility.

  some would do the fall in love and get married to a new convert who had a long prison sentence.

  if the witnesses had half a brain they would stop this before it ever got started.

  Anyone remember the harrowing Jaycee Lee Dugard case?

  Sex offender Garrido used Jehovah’s Witness to get early parole

  (Story from San Francisco Chronicle, updated with James A. Beckford reference.)

  There was another one, also in California, were a convicted pedophile was released from prison after studying with Witnesses, and got baptized.
  

  He violated parole conditions by going door-to-door in car groups including children, and who knows how many doors he knocked on with children present.

  The "brothers" were fine with this "arrangement" because he served his time and got dunked. No concern whatsoever for potential, future victims either inside or outside the Kingdom Hall.

  So, does it even matter if women can still preach in prisons?

  NO.

  The "brothers" shelter known criminals all the time.

  a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.

  is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?

  What about "studies" who never progressed to baptism?

  Shouldn't they be prayed for too?

  Lurking el-duhs, when will you pray for these lost directly from the platform?
