  a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.

  it was sold a couple of years ago.

  we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

  WT doesn't sell anything in order to generate revenue like these other successful corporations

  JW Gone Bad....... That's not quite right. Watchtower Corporation sells a hope of everlasting life. They made themselves a middleman for that "biblical hope" true or not, that is their product, what they sell, and according to them they ONLY have the exclusive right to market the hope.

  What Is The Major Reason Jehovah’s Witnesses Exist?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i understand that cults and religious groups will always exist.

  but why do jehovah’s witnesses continue as a religion that people will join?.

  Another aspect is being a witness relieves them of a guilty conscience for being a uninvolved citizen, because jeh is going to fix it all, don't donate to Worley causes, don't become involved in any citizen group, don't volunteer for any type of civic service, don't vote, don't run for office, don't express any political views. And don't feel guilty about it because jeh is gonna fix it all.

  Good post, but as normal procedure for the corporation to buy surrounding properties. As mentioned they own properties around wat farm, Patterson. They will probably buy more around Tuxedo. They are flush with $$$$$$$.

  when they send their team of jw lawyers from bethel to various locations to argue the lawsuits against them, do they put them up in a hotel or do they make them stay with witness families?.

  Yes, watchtower uses outside law firms and construction companies. Commercial contracting companies were heavily involved in Warwick construction. I know that for a fact. Why not? They got the money.
