So the question is, ARE they allowed to use it for evacuation space? The landlords said it's not allowed. If the city in the situation would allow it then they are in the wrong. The thing to do would be to challenge what the landlords are saying, if able to get any proof the landlords wouldn't be held liable or at risk or face fines and punishment from the city/county/etc then the jw landlords have no excuse for what they are doing.

I'm not so sure a bigger awakening is going to happen anymore
by bradford inwhen i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.
i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.
this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.

There will be. The JW.org changed has FORCED many jw's to the internet (old timers, etc) also it's endorsed online witnessing. People will decide to search the internet for time and forums, etc, and they'll stumble upon TTATT when they do so. Won't have a repeat of Rutherfords time when 75% leave at once. Only thing that will eventually stop it from really falling apart would be if they do away w/ all the controversial and control issues. -

This is just sad. Texas muslim ninth grader arrested for bringing clock to school

And he was arrested for a hoax bomb. The police said he just said it's an alarm clock. Wasn't cooperating, gave no explanation why he brought it or their other questions. They determined it looked close enough or was intended to make people think it may be a bomb and that's why he was arrested. Based on his interview slip of saying how he tried to make it not look too much suspicious that they were correct in their judgement. -

That is the device. Doesn't look like an invention or a clock but like he took a clock apart and pieced it together to make it look like a bomb.
He was interviewed and I think he slipped, you can see it here, but he says, "I didn't want to lock it to make it seem like a threat so I used a simple cable so it wouldn't look too much suspicious" . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mW4w0Y1OXE So he just accidentally admitted while making it that it was suspicious. He knew as he made it it would look like a bomb casing.
When the teachers and officers were questioning him, he said it didn't look anything like a bomb, it was just a clock. Well if he didn't think it looked like a bomb, then when he was making it, what was he trying to make sure didn't look too suspicious???
I think for some reason he purposely and knowingly made it to look like a bomb and either wanted to show off or make somebody think it was a bomb case. The alarm just happens to go off in the middle of class? He set it to go off. The police said he wasn't talking just saying it was a clock, gave no explanations.
So this kid who when building it knew it was suspicious as a bomb from the start, then plays smart allec saying it's just an alarm clock and pretends to be confused why anybody would think otherwise other than him being muslim.
He brings a fake bomb to school, and is celebrated, invited to the white house for his 'cool clock, umm bomb', and a big chunk of american sheeple in fear of being called racist now claiming what would have gotton anybody arrested if they brought to an airport or the white house as absolutely not suspicious at all and paved the way for real terrorists to use them now because if they make one they can just say it's an alarm clock or people will just ignore a valid threat for fear of being called racist or an idiot if it was wrong.

"Fair Use" copyright ruling
by OrphanCrow inthe decision to allow fair use of copyrighted material could have an impact on the wts' attempts to use copyright laws to pull content that is critical of them.it is ironic that this ruling was made in response to one of prince's songs.. (this article was posted on exjwreddit)demand that mother remove home video from youtube backfires.
a music companys demand that youtube take down a 29-second home video of two children dancing to a song by prince backfired monday when a federal appeals court used the case to make it harder for copyright-holders to act against brief, non-commercial uses of their material.recording companies, motion picture studios and other copyright owners issue numerous takedown notices each day, targeting everything from home videos to campaign ads that include segments of songs or newscasts.
when a copyright-holder tells a website like youtube that one of its postings violates the holders exclusive rights to license the material, federal law requires that the posting be removed immediately.but the ninth u.s. circuit court of appeals in san francisco said the copyright-holder must first consider whether such a video amounts to fair use of the work, making it eligible to be legally posted.

Are those who originally came up with the 1914 date that Russell stole from, if that group is still around then maybe they can force the WT to remove it's 1914 doctrine and teaching as being copyright and back pay for the past 100+ years of money they lost out on it's commerical use w/ the donations :) -

"So that we will not be confused with salesmen, it is best not to mention the donation arrangement unless we are asked..."
by Island Man in"so that we will not be confused with salesmen, it is best not to mention the donation arrangement unless we are asked how our work is financed.".
this damning quote is found on page 1 of the september 2015 our kingdom ministry, the last sentence in the 3rd bullet point under the sub-heading how to do it.
this quote amounts to an implicit admission that the jw practice of mentioning the donation arrangement to householders at the door, makes them look like door to door salesmen.. why would "jehovah's organization" be engaging in a practice that is nothing more than a transparent attempt at undercover soliciting?

No need for them to ask for donations anymore! The new video of sophia giving her quarter to the donation box instead of buying ice cream is how they will get the donations from now on. -

let's hope some savvy investigative journalists see a pulitzer for opening up this story to cover the us and worldwide cases.. jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/.
