  Kingdom Farm in S Lansing NY sold for 2.8 million in March, 2015 - news article

  this is probably old news and was commented about in early 2015, but the ithaca news reported on the 3/15 sale of kingdom farm in s lansing ny.

  this is the property that was directly across the road from the old gilead site, which had sold a number of years ago.

  but about 500 acres still was operated by the jws as kingdom farm.

  There was a huge investment in large farm machinery/vehicles at Kingdom Farm. I wonder where all the equipment has gone. Auctioned off? That must have brought in a pretty penny as well.

  As the majority of Witnesses, she probably exemplifies a gentle personality, and exhibits the quiet-and-kind demeanor that must be quite attracting for you. Don't fall for it, and if it's already too late and you've fallen, get over it.

  If not, well... I'm married to a very loyal JW and she is the kindest and nicest person but... when she feels I'm rejecting the cult she can be quite the tigress. You'll learn about the dark side of the cult if your relationship ever develops to a serious "courting" and "dating" level.

  If she does consent and dates you, she'll most likely feel guilty because she's going against what her cult says she should be doing.

  If you really care about her and you can't stay away, then try to get her to see the cult for what it really is, a scamming corporate realestate grabbing religious company that sucks the life out of its followers.

  Before you dive in head first and keep pestering her with your amorous attentions, read the book Crisis of Conscience to get a good idea of the JW reality behind the scenes (behind the curtain) it's a different kind of play back there and you won't like it.

  best wishes to you

  Is the JW Broadcasting having good results for the Org?

  by thewalker in

  when speaking with brothers, i can see they really like the jw.org site more than magazines and books.

  i can imagine them publishing more and more articles and news as it's more dynamic and creates a sense of alert with brothers looking for new articles to read instead of the boring monthly magazines.. but when it comes to the jw broadcasting, it's something different.

  even elders admit they aren't watching the monthly broadcastings.

  It is painful to watch the online broadcasts. in the latest explanation of the overlapping generation teaching the Bethel brother sounds very nervous and inexperienced
  http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/VODProgramsEvents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_VIDEO

  I kinda feel bad for the guy having to go over this nonsense material. What a bunch of bull, and he tries to keep a serious face throughout. He even calls Splane's "explanation" of the overlapping generation "masterful", the brown noser!!!

  You said it, thewalker, it is indeed "disturbing" that the 0rganization keeps putting this trash as "spiritual food" for the proper time. It's well past the due date on that label, and needs to be discarded.

  My vote is with Bernie Sanders.

  Social Democrats believe in democracy and distrust rampant abusive forms of capitalism. They are for the welfare of society and the social order under a truly democratic system. What we have in the U.S. is not a true democracy, it is a federalist republic with few restraints on capitalist ideals at the expense of folk's well-being and freedom from greedy corporations and business magnates' control. Trump would turn the U.S. into a third world country. Sanders would approximate the nation to the high standard of living enjoyed by a lot of social democracies in Europe.

  the older children were not spoiled - he made time for them when they needed him, even at 5 on the phone, he would stop the board meetings to talk with the kids

  Would Trump put up with any of his underlings stoping a board meeting to talk with their kids? He'd be spouting his favorite phrase "You're fired!" faster than a blink.

  I can't understand how anyone would trust such a megalomaniac.

  Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

  all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

  a strange correlation again.. gorby.

  On average, 1,187 additional Kingdom Halls are needed
  each year to keep
  up with current organizational growth.

  I was left scratching my head at that bit as well, slimboyfat.

  If on average every KH held about 70 Witnesses that would be a total of 83,090 new JW's.

  And with the merging that's been going on around my area for the past few years, there's no way that an "additional" high number like that would be conceivable. They call them "additional" and not replacements--No way!
