and yet another sale of watchtower property.... http://www.ibj.com/articles/59973-suburban-mega-church-expanding-into-downtown-with-big-purchase.
suburban megachurch expanding into downtown with big purchasea historic church building at the corner of 12th and delaware streets has been purchased by a large congregation expanding into the downtown area.. traders point christian church in whitestown is spending $2 million to renovate the 35,300-square-foot structure and should have it ready for worship early next year, rev.
james stanley said.. the neoclassical, limestone building has been used as a place of worship since it was built in 1912 and had been owned by the jehovah’s witnesses since 1978.. the location at 1201 n. delaware st., across from the benjamin harrison presidential site, will be the third for traders point.
So renting is cheaper than owning.....
It doesn't make any difference to the WTBS. The rent will be included with the expenses of the assembly, which will be paid by the attendees, along with the the $10 per attendee or whatever the daily rate is these days. The WTBS will get its designated cut and the little people will pick up the tab for the building whether its $1 or $1,000,000.

look, now before i speak, i want to say that it is very okay for someone to not believe.
are they hurting anyone?
killing anyone?
Your attitude brings dishonor to the God you claim to represent. People like you are why most members of this forum no longer believe in God. As I said, I still believe, but people like you are why I quit going to church.
all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.
we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.
but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.
You all are just one big mob. Only here to attack those who have trust in God.
As I said, I'm not an atheist. I've been on this board for fifteen years and I've never felt I can't post my opinions here. What I do know is that I can't come here and demand that everyone agree with me. Some of the arguments get heated, I expect that, it is a discussion board after all.
The problem (which YOU can't seem to see) is that too many believers stomp in here spewing arrogant self-righteousness and complaining that people don't bow down to them as messengers sent by God. If you want to see lack of humility, go look in the mirror.
I would suggest you start your own message board, and then you'll never have to talk to anybody that disagrees with you.

I am not an atheist, but I find that most posts by creationists (you provided a recent example) to be insipid, illogical, fact free nonsense. You consistently mistake your beliefs for facts, they are not. When this is pointed out to you, you whine about being hurt and call people hateful. Disagreement is not hate.
jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.
there is another mode for how he exists.
now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.
In this way, we could and I do mean we could say science proves God exists
You "COULD" say anything.
I "could" say I'm a billionaire.
I "could" tell the tax man I have no money.
I "could" say I'm the world's greatest lover (ladies the line forms to the right).
What you "could" say doesn't prove a thing.
i really like what governors w.weld and g. johnson bring to the table.. not familiar with the libertarian party and will do some investigation,.
but any thoughts on this party..
Mostly great ideas. the problem is selling those ideas to the people who benefit from big government, the majority. Not a chance they can win so you have to choose from the lesser of two evils. If social issues are your main concern, then vote for a moderate Democrat, if fiscal issues are your main concern, then vote for a moderate Republican. If principle is the diving force, then waste your vote for the Libertarian candidate. It's lonely being a Libertarian.
Sorry, this is the kind of thinking that created the current political mess in this country. Sometimes you have to think outside the box. For a long time two parties dominated national politics. Then some people with a new idea formed a third party, and refused to listen to those that they would never get anywhere. They succeeded in getting a guy named Abraham Lincoln elected president.
just following the "worst-district-convention-ever" there's a lot of frightened jw's worriedly and eagerly excited about the "great tribulationnnnn-tam-tam-tammmmm" starting.
it's the talk of the town in jw land.. today, my wife is off to the sunday meeting and an after-spiritual-banquet-get-together for the speaker.
i'm staying home for this one.
You can get everything you need for a lot less at regular stores. A couple of gallon jugs of water, survival blankets, camp stove with fuel and dried food. Probably for less than one of their kits.

"some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.
however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.
Several years ago I wrote an article "Is the Governing Body Committing Blasphemy?" Last spring a put it on my blog. Looks like I may have to update it.

here's some bumper stickers recently spotted:.
honk!
if you had sex with the president.
In the 1770's there were three million of us and our leaders were luminaries: Washington, Jefferson, John and Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock; there were also some brilliant people that are not as well known today, Gouverneur Morris and Rufus King come to mind.
Today there are 375.000,000 of us and look what we get. It's a joke, but sad not funny. Edited to add: Bernie Sanders is the first democrat in years to make me think of voting that direction. I'm seriously considering voting for Jill Stein.
