Correspondence between GB and US Branch re WHQ relocation (2005-11)
by Corney inseven years ago multiple letters between the governing body and the us branch committee, as well as internal memos and e-mails were provided by watchtower to a us dictrict court in the course of discovery in the ramapo property case.
these documents are public records available through pacer, and now they are available for free on the case page here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5373802/lorterdan-properties-at-ramapo-i-llc-v-watchtower-bible-and-tract/ (see document no.
45 and attachments).i have also compiled all the internal documents in chronological order here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15q-1_cylhxgesb0z4pkr5fjohz7u_y-p/view?usp=sharing 124 pages is a minuscule part of their archives but i hope somebody will find these documents interesting..

Where are the funds going to come from? Warwick Expansion
by HiddenPimo inso with the news that they are remodeling patterson and expanding warwick, where are the funds going to come from?.
could this be a ruse like the need for thousands of kingdom halls proclaimed a few years back only to be replaced with the we realized the halls were not at capacity and the great sell-off began?.
maybe the hope is going to be that the sheep will give give give and then all of the sudden, after prayerful consideration the gb have determined that the current resources are sufficient to create the needed media and content.. my bet is that in 10 years it will all be consolidated to warwick and walkill and patterson will be sold to who i have no idea, but they own a ton of property in upstate ny..

Neat Blue Dog, I think that's 50 million dollars a year (if 1 billion is 1,000,000,000)
Its been said on here for years that they are as much a Building business. They may be selling KHs but they've put a lot into huge projects. Why not? When you have no taxes to pay on land and possibly building materials?, a lot of free labor and a discriminatory slave employer then why not.
This new, huge project, is in its early stages yet they've just been selling off an incredible amount of tools and machinery only to buy more. The wastage of JWs money is staggering.
No wonder they made the statement to trust them even if what they do is not logical from a human stand point. Yes, it's not logical and they got the other bit right. What they are doing is not human.....

It's amazing that any JW would want to support this organization, even more so, any JW parent.
It might be possible that the courts will view the JWs negatively for choosing not to join the redress scheme and making them look even worse in court cases.

Thanks Vienne. I meant to say that you make thoughtful posts like your mother did.
I didn't know you were only 15. You shouldn't feel bullied by anyone so I think you are making a wise choice.
I wish you all the best with your studies and it sounds like your mum would be very proud.
Thank you for your plans to keep us updated.

Vienne, I am sure there would be many of us that would miss you as you are knowledgeable in the history of Russell specifically as well as providing thoughtful comments.
Simon didn't introduce the thumbs up or down so that it would chas people off.

There's some info on Ex JW Reddit but this article makes it clearer
They won't say how much it is going to cost which isn't surprising.

Thanks Atlantis.
Someone posted that these Bibles won't be available until the end of next year. This means that those Slaves that were invited to the Meeting are even more privelaged having received a copy of this illustrated book. They'll be able to flash it around in front of the under privelaged slaves. A bit like the Kings guests being served Kobe Beef whilst the servants eat sausages.
No doubt, the Bethelite Slaves were ordered to keep silent about this as they were slaving day after producing it.
One of those photos shows images and is even headed as images. As I mentioned on another post, it is no different to having these images in their most holiest books than having pictures or carved objects displayed inside a Church. I think whoever decided to call these bible pictures 'images' is having a good laugh.
In that image that is being shown in the photo, I wonder why they have a young boy dangling a fish in front of him.
But what is interesting is the amount of cost the Watchtower is willing to go to, not to do their most important work of baptising people/recruiting them but for those that are already captive in the organization.

They've put images in their new study bible.
https://i.redd.it/xtvid3q0cwq31.jpg
They used to have a go at the Catholics for having images all around their Church, they are doing no different themselves by putting it in their Bible.
I just checked on JW org under their 'JW news' and there is no mention of the annual meeting, including their 'new light', building for 1,000 JWs and their study bible. No doubt it is to make those who were invited to attend feel special. But also, it is a boost to their ego as they flash around their new bible and 'leak' information from the meeting.
It speaks volumes of what the Watchtower is.

I enjoyed your comments Newshhep.
I didn't know that Sanderson claimed he was anointed as a teenager although I'm not at all surprised. I imagine he craves the attention.
