jehovah's witnesses say center would have big impact.
a planned 3,000-seat educational center will have a substantial economic impact on orangeburg county over the next five years, jehovah's witnesses officials say.. .
the center could generate $264 million in revenues over a five-year period, with the added benefit of more than $18.4 million in new sales tax revenues for the local area, church spokesman bill sims said.. .
The $264,000,000 goes right to WT HQ.What bs are they saying.Take your local Kingdom Assembly Hall,all paid for by the locals,buildt by the locals,reno by the locals,maintained by the locals.AND PAY RENT TO THE WBTS FOR LOCAL ASSEMBLIES.
They are very good at twisting things when it comes to money.This 3k hall will it really be buildt by outsiders or by locals(JW'S) who will claim tax deductions for their over priced work.

i ask this question in harmony with deedub's swan song thread which i linked below.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/205902/1/time-to-say-good-bye.
to some degree, i think i understand where she's coming from.
just speaking from my own experiences since stepping into the world of anonymous apostacy, i went through a few different phases of personal outlooks.
How could I adjust my perfect attitude ,I couldn't.If I readjusted it than I would be a liar.However that is no problem for the GB because they are perfect liars.
Talk about their attitude lately it is getting worse.Before they wanted slaves with some freedom,now they took the freedom away.

with the new " overlap generation " theory that the wt society is pushing onto rank and file jehovah's witnesses since last year this article i found really heavy hitting in the jw version of the wt.
the wt society is leaking oil in that confidence is low among jw's in not really buying into the " generation overlap " theory as many younger jw's are exiting the organization.
so what better way to try reeling members back in by giving them an article entitled " do not deceive yourself with false reasoning " !
"We should not think that Satan is the ONLY one who can mislead us" HELLO.HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.You Got that right,because you are the OTHER ONE.
"Concerned that this system lasted longer than expected".Iam old and broke are you going to pay for my rent.clothes,food,medical.You see I have no retirement money.It ok for you because you have ALL the luxury.

PS:Yeah this system sure lasted longer them you old foggies taught and many of your buddies are not around.
2011 yearbook, singing praise to jehovah, p.17-21:.
singing songs of praise to jehovah is an integral part of our worship.
at the 2009 conventions, therefore, god's servants were overjoyed when they were told of a new songbook, sing to jehovah.
Going back to the yearbook.So the GB researches all books,libaries,publications,etc.so we can have the proper food at the proper time.However,they have to edit,change,delete and re-write their own history, song book.When I compare their WT with their bound volumes they are different.I can't not believe these guys.

2011 yearbook - "tracing all things with accuracy", p.9-13.
jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics "their food at the proper time.
" christ thus indicated that those who dispense this "food" would be conscientious, prudent, and discerning in providing spiritual food for the household of faith.-matt.
I always get a good laugh when they(GB) say "proper food at the proper or right time".When they say things like the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away before the end of the system of things.And I would have to hold my tongue and say to myself you are wrong.If I said anything I would be DF'D for apostasy.Or I would have to wait for the light to get brighter for the GB and than they would try and weasel their way out by saying it was my fault for running ahead of their ORG.Oh they would claim it is Gods' org.
Also all the bs in books as proper food at the proper time.Oh I get it we the J.W. are NOT to read any books that are not edited by the GB.Otherwise we would be smarted then the GB.They don't want anyone educated.Reminds me of how powerful leaders(Hilter) would get rid of the educated elite.

excerpts from the 2011 yearbook highlights of the past year:.
tracing all things with accuracy.
(p.9) jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics "their food at the proper time".
See letter of GB.Christians are amazed that 7.5 million J.W. accomplished so little with so many hours worked.They did not see any chartibles works done.

MrFreeze the guy that crapped himself wouldn't he be content? The black lady is content because she just came.
B
is this a trend that is going on.
i live on the west coast and the po's or cobe's wife has at least one study if not more with a old lady who is totally mentally gone.
she has no clue what is going on.
If they are so self-rightous why don't they work in soup kitchens,with the homeless,charties,etc.They are shisters and nothing more.Take advanage of the mentally challenged.SHISTER.
B
if you had to guess what point of their teaching.
the governing body wants jws to really, really understand,.
24:45.. the comment highlights that because jesus "did not say that there would be a multitude of slaves scattered throughout the various sects of christendom.
So if God appointed the GB at the conclusion of the system of things in 1879,1914,1915 ,1919 and only 144k would rule in heaven and some would still be on earth when the end would come.These GEEBEE'S old farts are really old oooolllllllllllllddddddddddddd.Now the end will not happen any time soon.However the sleep dead sheep will believe anything these old farts pass.

our jw contact sent us the " witness only " wt's again and i just had to make a thread on this mind numbing article.
starting on pg.22 in the jan.15th it deals with " coping with discouragement ".
it seems lots of jw's are under intense stress these days ( can you blame them ?
