There are 44 assembly halls in the US. I believe that each are owned by a stand alone assembly hall corporation. The estimated value on each hall is between 6-10 million depending on where it is.

WWI and Beer
by Farkel inin april, 1917 the united states declared war on germany.
the german u-boats had sunk a bunch of american ships and the war declaration was justified, even though woodrow wilson was basically, a total asshole.. anti-german frenzy hit the american shores.
sauerkraut was renamed "freedom cabbage" and dachshunds were stoned to death.

Spot on Farkel. I just watched Ken Burns prohibition special, and it was amazing how the womens temperance movements and the KKK were able to use the strong feelings of patriotism and hate for the Germans to attack the German Brewers. These groups piggybacked on an anti immigrant sentimant and used it for their own purposes.
If I remember right the Brewers accounted for 15% of the US economy at the time. Beer or should I say Bier was touted back then as a medicinal cure.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

I have read this several times and I have to say it is pretty unbelievable. Share this article with advocates of Domestic violence prevention and you will get a guaranteed response.
These clowns are so out of touch it is amazing.

NRFG- the service meeting part was incredible. I don't ever remember them asking for jewelry before. These douchbags are getting desperate. I told my wife that I would never donate a penny to the society so they could use it for settlements on abuse cases.

This is disgusting. I read it this way.
"Selma realized that she had the wrong attitude towards the way her husband treated her. She understood that Steve hit her because she was unwisely trying to make a point. Coming to grips with her error and adjusting her attitude brought peace to the family. Eventually, Steve got to the point where he would only hit her when she disrespected his God appointed headship. Instead feeling sorry for herself and focusing on her bruises and pains, Selma resolved to focus on Steve's good traits, such as providing well for the family, and taking care of home maintenance. Truly, these husbands can be "won without a word" if the wife applies bible principles."

should there be a national coming out day for JWs leaving the borg?
by zengalileo ini got the idea from what harvey milk did for the gay movement.
i am tired of hearing these stories about people staying jws while scared to admit they don't believe in it anymore.
if you saw the movie milk, then you know the argument.

You know its funny, the Service Meeting last night had the part on "why Jehovah's Witnesses don't take blood transfusions". The source material was the historic reasoning book with its epic flawed logic. As the speaker droned on and on I kept thinking..."What the Hell, Witnesses now can take almost 100% of blood as long as it is fractionated. Here they pride themselves on obeying God's law on blood, yet ignore the fact that they use gallons of blood in factions?"
One sister smartly comments that "when you have bled out,all you need is ringers solution to expand the volume". I thought to myself, "what a bunch of fucking retards. Will ringers solution carry oxygen to your brain? if so she needs some stat because she is brain dead"
People like this woman in the article who died, do so because they have been so confused about the new policy on fractions that they think it is best just to say no to blood. The Watchtower has made the situation even worse by their new convoluted policy that allows lifesaving blood in fractions, but has failed to adequately communicate the fact, so many people still continue to sacrifice their lives to the God of Gene Smalley.
"True christians out of respect for the almighty God, do not eat pizza in any shape or form. This is something that must be abstained from according to scripture. However, some Christians with a godly conscience, might allow themselves to eat minor components of pizza, such as tomato sauce, cheese, bread, onions, olives and pepperoni reasoning that these items by themself do not constitute pizza as a whole and thus would not be a violation of God's standard on abstaining from pizza". It is not our place to judge those brothers and sisters who conscientously hold to God's righteous standard.

Nice NRFG- you are on a roll. You have a potential to serve in the writing dept. Shades of sd-7
@ Scenic viewer, did you know that "gullible" isn't even a word that is in the dictionary?
