  'Religious abuse' framed Mustaine's early lyrics

  2. child-abuse

  'megadeth mainman dave mustaine says his mother's devotion to "cult" of jehovah's witnesses had profound impact.'.

  he doesn't say much, but the more of this there is out there, the more people will be aware and avoid getting involved.. http://teamrock.com/news/2016-03-09/religious-abuse-framed-mustaine-s-early-lyrics.

  Witnesses pledge $5.5M to fix crummy Dumbo park

  witnesses pledge $5.5m to fix crummy dumbo park.

  they will clean up before they leave.the jehovahs witnesses will give the city $5.5 million to overhaul a run-down dumbo park the organization promised to make-over more than a decade ago as part of a lucrative rezoning deal, after local pols demanded the group finally honor its pledge before it sells all its land and decamps from the borough for good.the sect officially the watchtower bible and tract society believes the money will be enough to cover its share of the long-stalled plans for the land.watchtower has set aside this amount to cover the funds officials estimated the city would need to take over this project and complete the current vision for the park, the group told this paper.the religious outfit offered to fix the moribund bridge park 2 a slab of crumbling concrete next to york street station and quite possibly the crummiest park in the city in 2004, when the city agreed to let the group build a huge housing complex on a massive parking lot next door at 85 jay st.plans at the time included a turf baseball field, a new playground, and a lighted path from the subway station to the neighboring farragut houses development.but watchtower never actually built the new property, and the planning process for the park facelift dragged for years through various design permeations, eventually hitting an impasse over cost and labor the witnesses wanted to use its members as volunteer workers, which is not how the city typically does business.the groups announcement last month that it is selling 85 jay st. now incredibly valuable thanks to the residential rezoning as part of its mass exodus from the neighborhood it has long called home sparked renewed calls for the witnesses to keep their vow and put some of the massive windfall to good use.it is unacceptable that since the watchtower committed to work with the parks department, over 11 years have passed, the site has seen no improvements, and remains a piece of barren asphalt, a host of local pols and business leaders wrote in a letter to the organization in december.it remains to be seen whether $5.5 million will be enough to take the park from drab to fab, however the parks department said it cant estimate the total costs without a concrete plan for the park in place.

  watchtower honchos say they have one ready, based on the citys most recent requests for the site, which now include a skate park and a multipurpose field.those pushing for the park renewal say they also want more details before celebrating, but the pledge is still good news.without seeing the details, that seems like a significant step in the right direction, said councilman steve levin (dboerum hill), one of the letter-writing pols.

  Umbertoecho here.

  hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.

  helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.

  i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

  this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.

  "everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".

  "also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.

  Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

  it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

  his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

  http://www.chelmsfordweeklynews.co.uk/news/11227290.plans_for_huge_jehovah_s_hq_take_shape/.

  its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.

  it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.
