ha ha I think it should be renovated and used as A maximumum security prison for pedophiles right on Adams street. That would further reflect the irony.

NYU Grad Students, NYU-Poly Undergrads Take Over ‘Sliver Building’
By Linda Collins
Brooklyn Daily EagleBROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A residential building formerly owned by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (Jehovah’s Witnesses) in Brooklyn Heights is now fully occupied as a dorm.
A recent edition of nyunews.com, a web edition of WSN, New York University’s daily student newspaper, calls the new dorm The Livingston and describes it as “the first NYU dorm in Brooklyn.”
Noting that the dorm is at 67 Livingston St., and is near Brooklyn Borough Hall and the 4/5 subway station, the article states that the building is “home to NYU graduate students and NYU-Poly undergraduates.”
It also says it is in “a quaint neighborhood,” situated between Clinton and Court streets, surrounded by residential apartment buildings and only a 10 minute walk from the NYU-Poly (Polytechnic Institute of New York University) campus, which is at MetroTech.
As the Eagle has reported, 67 Livingston, known locally as “the sliver building,” was previously owned by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (Jehovah’s Witnesses) and sold by the organization in 2007.
Watchtower spokesperson Richard Devine told the Eagle at the time that the property was built in 1988 and has 76 units on 26 floors, including one-bedroom and studio apartments, many with terraces.
“We acquired this building when it was still under construction,” said Devine, who is in charge of Building Maintenance and Construction for Watchtower. “It was designed to have one condo on each floor. We got it after the shell was completed so we redesigned the interior to have more and smaller units.”
Nyunews.com noted that there are four room-layout options for students at The Livingston: a shared studio for two people, a low-cost studio for two people, a one-bedroom apartment for two people and a small studio for one person.
“Furnished with hardwood floors, the apartments are relatively standard, each equipped with kitchen, bathroom and dining area,” reports nyunews.com. “Air conditioning is included and there is a common lounge area on the second floor. One-person studios have a small refrigerator but no sink.”

I seem to remember that witnesses frown on getting help from mental health professionals. Is it possible this had a role in her being released/ discharging herself from the psychiatric hospital?

I learned to read with Dick and Jane and Sally. How about you?
by Fatfreek ini can hardly believe the prices they're getting for pristine copies of those books they handed out to those of us with scalps populated with lice, hands and fingers encrusted with bits of jelly and dried mud.
they're getting between $100 and $200 per copy.. thanks to google images, i couldn't resist taking another peek between some of those charming colored pages as a reminder to what we were actually exposed to in trying to make us literate.. most of these look contemporary to when i went to school -- the 1940's.
one of them may go back into the 1930's.

If we were alone together in the woods 100 miles from nowhere
by John Doe inand a tree fell on me, pinning me to the ground, and all you had was a dull pocket knife, would you perform a field amputation of a leg or arm to save my life?

Mr doe you are in luck, I am trained to do just that type of feild surgery. I happen to always carry around my field kit with me. As long as you have your insurance card with you we can procede at once. Of course I had to modify the kit just a bit (correct blood type no extra charge).

In memory of my brother Tom , and Tish and John Maur the witnesses have their blood on their hands
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promise lands
He tells me believe in Jesus
Steals the money from my hands
Some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"
Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, and so few win
Chorus
You take the high road
And I'll take the low road
Yes Sometimes I wish I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in, yeah -

My wife walked in while I was on this site. She saw the header Jehovah’s Witness. Net and exclaimed “what are you doing, you are going to be brainwashed”. It gave quite the chuckle. You see my wife has never been a witness and is opposed their belief due to the child abuse and shunning that she is aware of. So why was she opposed to me being on this sight you ask? My lovely wife thought that this was pro witness sight. She was getting nervous thinking that I would even consider going back to the cult. I had to explain what this sight was all about. She was more than relieved afterwards.
