I thought Knorr was involved in sponsoring The Nazi Parties research into bloodless surgery?

I'm sure Wacko Jacko and Prince greased enough of the GB's palms with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to not make the blindest bit of difference. -

What JW habits do you still have?
by Exelder insince leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.
however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.
1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).
-

like EverApostate I purposely do as many things that jw's hate as possible, I love to curse and swear and never leave an opportunity to do so, I also love to blaspheme, you cant beat a good old bit of blasphemy

"Blood Guilty"
by new boy inguilt is such a wonderful tool used by the jehovah’s witnesses.
one of the terms they love to use is the term “blood guilty.” they have actually used this term to guilt their members into doing more and more “house to house activity” yes, they have said on numerous occasions at their kingdom halls and other major gathering that a person “could be blood guilty” for not going out in the field service activity enough.
the reason is simple.

love it dont they, plus "sinning against the holy spirit" which I was accused of, the irony is that the WTS is guilty of both

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?
by Nosferatu ini find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

more possible KH closures/sell off London area
by jookbeard inabout the mid 1980's they purchased a large plot of land in an area called addington a suburb of south london to build a kh complex comprising of 3 kh's with the options to add further congs to each kh, basically each kh could house 3 congs so the complex could possibly house 9 congs, it was a huge vanity project for the uk branch, you'd hear stories of how these congs are bursting at the seams etc, i think at one stage one of the congs had over 200 publishers, it was a huge construction project even bigger than the ca hall they were building a few miles south.
fast forward to last night and i got chatting to a couple of jw's in my local pub, i knew one of the guys as i used to sometimes see him in the town, he's a nice pleasant guy and i didn't get into any doctrinal discussions just chatted generally about how life is as a jw these days and the changes going on world wide etc, i touched on the vast kh and branch sell offs going on and he mentions that the addington site is to be sold!
i was astounded, nothing confirmed yet and but the land is prime real estate for housing development, the uk branch must have been offered a deal they cant refuse..

That Paddington KH is steeped in jw UK history also Kramer, it was the very first Spanish speaking cong as well, they know full well with ludicrous property prices in London and the South East they would be stupid not to cash in, it is inevitable

Update Please on Reasons for KH Sales
by snugglebunny ini've been out of the loop somewhere along the line.
the wt is trying to raise money i guess.
is this in anticipation of major pay-outs to child abuse victims?

cash and grab, shrinking attendances, ageing membership which peaked decades ago in the nations that matter, they will never experience those "glory days" again, the organisation is fading away into obscurity, a fact that cant be denied
