Lol. Look at the the section on governing Body reports 15-2. It sure would be easy to fake a letter from a branch committee.

Abraham lived about 300 years after God created all of the languages. Abraham lived in a town called Ur until the time that God said “Abraham, look up at the stars. I am going to give you as many children as there are stars, but first I want you to start living in tents.” Abe packed up everything he owned and headed off into the desert. Abraham was an old man with an old wife named Sarah. Sarah couldn’t have babies so Abraham decided to have one with Sarah’s maid Hagar the housekeeper. I know it sounds strange, but that’s what God told him to do. Where do babies come from? Umm, after we are done with this story you can go ask Mommy. At any rate, soon Hagar had a boy. Everything was great until God told Sarah to have Hagar the housekeeper take the baby and head off into the desert alone. No I don’t know what happened to them, but I am sure it was something happy.
Abraham was pretty bummed about this. Here he was with a 90 year old wife stuck in the desert with no kids. Sarah prayed for a child and soon God made Sarah pregnant even though she was 90. Can you imagine Great Grandma having a baby? The baby boy’s name was Isaac. One day God again spoke to Abraham. He told him “If you love me, go up to the mountain and tie up Isaac and kill him with a knife.” Abraham took his son up on the mountain and just as he was going to kill his son, God said “Stop! I was just kidding, kill that goat instead”. That is probably why Isaac had trust issues with his dad. What’s that? Would I ever kill you if God told me to? No sweetheart of course not. God doesn’t talk to Daddy like he did to Abraham.
i had some fun today writing a short history of the bible as seen through the eyes of a dad trying to explain it all to his 5 year old.
after i got finished with adam- nimrod i thought..."maybe i will post it in a blog" if you are interested for some reason, due to boredom, loneliness, "narcissistic syndrome" or if you simply have a 5 year old and want to impress upon them how crazy parts of the bible are, please follow along.
siam.

It all began when a talking snake tricked a naked lady into eating a piece of fruit. Her husband decided that he liked the fruit so he ate some too. This made God so mad that he banished them from their garden and placed two angels with a flaming sword at the garden gate.
The man and the woman now had to work and grow their own food. Since life was now so easy they decided to start a family. They had a couple of kids and continued to farm. Their first son Cain killed their second son Abel because he was mad that God liked Abel’s lamb better than Cain’s vegetables. God is not a vegetarian like your Mom and I. At any rate, Cain made God mad, so mad in fact that he banished the murderer to the wilderness with only his Sister/wife to keep him company. Cain was afraid that someone would kill him in revenge but God told him not to worry that he would protect him.
Soon afterwards some angels decided to turn bad and come to earth to have sex with women. Remind me to explain sex to you in about 5 years from now. The Angels and the women had big giant babies that liked to hurt people. You might call them bully babies. God looked down at all of this and decided to destroy all life on earth because mankind was wicked and he felt regret for making everything.
There was one man in all the land who was good. His name was Noah. God told Noah to build a boat about the size of a football field. So Noah got to work cutting trees, making lumber, and building the boat. After he was done building the boat, God told Noah to round up two of every animal on earth and 7 of some others, and pack them into the boat. So Noah rounded up the lemurs, kangaroos, polar bears, penguins, lions and squirrels and loaded them into the boat. Noah and his family then climbed aboard and God shut the door. Can you imagine living in a box full of animals for a year? Noah’s sons probably had to clean up all of the animal poop every day to keep the boat clean.
It rained from the sky down and from the ground up until all life on earth was destroyed. The water was so high that it reached 30,000 feet up, as high as jetliners fly now. Noah and his family and all of the animals lived in the Boat for about a year until finally things dried out enough to come out. Where did the water go? Good question, maybe God used a giant shop vac and put it into space? When they stepped out of the Boat, Gold told Noah that he would ever destroy everything again because God realized that man had wicked built into him, so what’s the point? God gave himself a reminder in the form of a rainbow. Whenever God sees a rainbow, he remembers that he promised Noah not to destroy the earth again.
Shortly after the flood Noah’s grandson Nimrod decided to be a king and built a city. He gathered everyone around and said let’s build a tower that reaches the sky. Why so high? Probably to keep it above the high water mark. So the people started building the tower. God looks down and sees the tower and says “there is no stopping these people” , let’s go down there and confuse their languages so they stop building the tower. As soon as God changed every ones languages they decided to stop building the tower and the people left for parts unknown.

anyone keeping track of these sold brooklyn properties?
how many left there?
Pack up and leave town. These bastards are hurting. Good. Next steps in the restructuring will be programmatic reductions. Have the circuits bear the entire cost of the co's, cut loose more bethelites, reduce conventions to 2day affairs at ass halls.
the committee assigned to build the new complex was called into a meeting with the governing body.
they were told " you finish this project by january 1 2017. we want the keys to the complex and will be headquartered there by that date, do you understand?".
when the brothers protested and said that it would take 6 years for the project to be complete and if they moved that fast there would be many mistakes, the gb responded, "we don't care, that is your deadline".

Apparently the worldly construction company will be brought on to build a large part of the complex. The bros at bethel are wtf is going on?
This news article seems to confirm the date.
jdubs are fond of quoting peter "where are we to go lord"... well the answer for me has been this forum for last couple of years which is really sad because i should be able to talk to my lifelong friends instead of faceless avatars.
( don't get me wrong this place has helped me through some really rough times mentally kudos to terry, cedars,slimboyfat, blondie,jwfacts and many others.).
the shun gun has prevented me from making the move completely out of this cult i have given my life to.

i recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.
my story is similar to many i think.
i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.
