A three way win-win-win deal. Parks on the piers, residential development to cove cost of the parks, jw's get serious money for industrial property rezoned as residential. And I think there was a timeline to the deal.

it was the missed association with family that brought them back.
my amazing wife surprised me and bought tickets for us to hear richard dawkins tonight!
he is giving a lecture with someone and then they are having a q&a session.
anyone have any suggestions for questions i could ask?
the jws at the time in germany where considered part of the aryan race, (since they were not jews).
then things changed for the jws after rutherford mailed a letter to hitler bragging about jehovahs kingdom on earth.. so can we add this to the bloodshed that that the watchtower corp is responsible for?.
Thank you for this. As usual there is so much more than the tales we've been told.
Any idea what the symbolism of the purple triangle is about?
i am most curious.
has anyone seen the movie inherit the wind?
i just got done watching the 1999 remake of the original 1960.. it's about two lawyers arguing in court about the guilt or innocence of a school teacher, teaching evolution.. it's about as pertinent today as it was in 1999 or 1960. it's really a good movie.
.
if you think the mormon church is off-the-scale crazy you probably don't know the half of it.. the historical information in this talk by david fitzgerald is fascinating.
the good news is that, just like the watchtower, their growth is being stunted by the internet.. grab a coffee and be amazed at just how gullible millions of people can be.. lucy harris has become my new heroine.
don't miss the section from 8:50.
Truly an amazing story about the power of delusion, belief, charisma etc. If it didn't adversely impact so many lives Mormonism would be a fascinating sociological experiment.
Also, less than 200 years after its founding (at a time with relatively high literacy and printing presses) the lines between legend and fact are very blurred. Makes you think about how the Christian religion itself must have layered legend upon legend.
here we go again... let's study... news report... comment.... who is gog of magog mentioned in the book of ezekiel?.
for a number of years, our publications have explained that gog of magog is the name given to satan the devil after his ouster from heaven.
this explanation was based on the fact that the book of revelation identifies satan the devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on gods people.

anthony morris is ranting against higher education.
he is blaming parents for enrolling their kids in college.
Also interesting that they are backing off from the old "universities are dens of immortality and drugs" and saying what they really are scared of "they will change your thinking"
So sad that if someone knows "The Truth" about everything they have to be careful not to spend too much time with people who think differently.

Interesting that they haven't published anything on the subject in almost 10 years and aren't publishing anything now. Just a video that can be pulled or disclaimed. "We're emphasizing divine education" "decision is up to the parents"
Because maybe they don't want to be blamed for a child living in poverty after following their rules (I know- I kinda doubt that too....)
The LOL moment for me- "now the child believes in evolution...how sad"
