  Not a designer office, no, a state of the art designer. Look at the impressive list of luxurious projects the Toledo site is part of. It seems that in reality nothing is good enough for the representatives of God on earth. And thats maybe the reason the short of donations. The Toledo project is at photo line 25. You have to scroll down a bit.

  there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

  i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

  i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

  Minimus, I wish you strenght and the power to heal your emotions. We all are more hurt by dying loved ones because we were once sure we all would not die at all.

  Because of these promises the last parts of our live will be emotional with a deeper layer.

  Give your mother all the love you can these days. Think about the other relatives also. And watch yourself.

  Strength!

  If an (aggressive) real estate fund is stopping it's operations directly,

  and if an publishing house is minimize the portfolio,

  and if a member of it's board of directors is telling the costs are higher then the profits,

  than we now there must be something going terribly wrong.

  So, with the urgent and haste of changing plans in a U-turn, we can conclude that the WTS has:

  1) put their assets safe on the Caymans Islands, protecting it for legal reasons (Australia, VS lawsuits).

  or

  2) have made a terribly mistake with options, high risk investments or theft by one of it's financial advisors.

  or

  3) did have no clue about their assets and made expansion plans without financial advise, now a emergency stop is made.

  So, what do you think, are these reasonable scenarios?

  This is not new, the warm relationship is a long relationship, since +/- the year 2000.

  My opinion is, from a human rights point of view, it is a good thing.

  At the, critical other hand, the Society has to be transparant about it.

  All those hidden semi political connections do not mach with theology and doctrine of our sect.
