long island business news.
march 4, 2024. the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses, which bought the former geico property in woodbury for $27 million in dec. 2022, plans to spend at least another $23 million to build an assembly hall and two support buildings on about half of the site.
At this rate, they’ll have all of Warwick county before too long, and “Watchtowistan” will be an actual, real thing, solely populated by the Branch Jehovians.
Every household will have an actual Armageddon bunker instead of a basement, with a dedicated hardline intranet connection to Warwick HQ, so they can access JW-dot-org without needing any “worldy” ISPs.

few norwegian religious communities need to worry after the jehovah's witnesses verdict, according to legal expert vibeke blaker strand.
he has pointed out that it is particularly serious to deprive a religious community of its registration.
@ Beth…
They only care about their “public” image insomuch as it affects their bottom line.
it occurred to me that the wt, if they can identify the activists that are currently campaigning against them, would have a lot of ability to compile detailed dossiers on them.
once identified, the elders of the appropriate congregation could be asked to forward copies of all their membership details held locally.. would they do that, and do such dossiers exist?.
(there are probably data collection rules governing such things in a lot of countries, but by no stretch of the imagination could the wt be considered a good corporate citizen).
They do make it easy for us, don’t they?

I thought the article did a decent job clarifying that (unlike in Russia) JWs in Norway are perfectly free to believe and practice their faith as they please…
…they simply can’t do it on the taxpayer’s dime, anymore.
The Org’ll be walking a real fine line if they try and spin this for the rank-and-file…
…too much focus on it and still-ins might start asking why the WTS would expend so much time and effort just to keep sucking on the teats of Satan’s World (especially this close to The End).
‘Course, we all know why… 😏
going door to door with their "memorial" invitation.
"so you can pass the emblems but nobody partakes?
them: "we can explain who is to partake".. me: "all jesus' followers".
It’s hard to argue your stance when your opponent knows your stance better than you do.
In my opinion, this - more than just about any other reason - is why the Org is dispensing with the door-to-door work faster than you can say “knock, knock”.
are there any sites with collections of governing body memes?
i see memes as a very effective way of getting the truth about the truth across without lengthy debate.
an effective meme is point and shoot since comedy holds the attention, jolts logic, is memorable, and is more likely to be viral.. something like this: http://t.qkme.me/3674l2.jpg.

Yeah, no chance that could ever go sideways.

hoser - “This was an experience to subtly guilt you into doing more service.”
And undoubtedly horseshit, based on anecdotal evidence.

TonusOH - “…Set a loyal brother to the task of checking up on apostates, and before long you might have a fresh apostate on your hands…”
A recent (alleged) insider indicated that the GB actually has a small team of hard-core uber-dubs who do, in fact, monitor the XJW community.
