they talk about jeehovah( the grand architect, creator of the heavens and universe) that he/she has donned a hard hat, pair of boots and a high viz jacket and is a hands on god even making sure the planning applications are being granted, LOL, madness, so there are accommodation blocks, an auditorium, video production and maintenance?, no, kitchens, no transport dept,warehousing, no printing and no book bindery,didn't one loon on here speak about an underground network of tunnels! its becoming a bigger white elephant as each week passes, I bet they paid a fortune for that land and an even bigger fortune for the clean up work they would have been required by law to undertake, oh but its all a sign of jeehovahs blessing on the project, I wonder if jeehovah knows about the huge scaling back of the initial plans? their lies are nothing short of utter lunacy, who would believe a singe word any one of those cronies spoke as being true?

So What Drastic Money Change is Next?
by OnTheWayOut inokay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.
they reduced printing of mags.
they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

dont think so Scratchme, his son would have definitely known of my status and we made some small talk after the initial contact, I doubt he was practising for an acting role.

tithing would be financial suicide for them seeing as they boasted for decades that one of the signs of being gods channel was that they would never tithe, a shrinking ageing membership would all but disappear in a few short years, I see more sell offs of KH's and next the big one will be the sell offs of circuit assembly halls, these schmucks know the value of these assets and they are obsessed by all things monetary, circuit ass'embles can easily be done away with, they are no better than used car salesman.
