  a letter from the uk branch is being read out this week - begging for a long list of highly qualified brothers such as engineers, draughtsmen etc.

  to contribute their expertise free of charge in order to get the new britain branch built!.

  Fade, they cant, the Jw's in the british isles are legally in another religion/charity. thats the only way they can send funds to Brooklyn. The charity finances say they are sending 90% of their income to a charity in america as they believe it will benefit its members. They cant close the uk brsnch down.

  I too believe they will stop printing and go digital, aka print yourself, but they cant get away with that for at least ten years because of JW's smelling a rat. They will have to sell the idea slowly, they will try to sell it as more efficient, to tske out the middle man, that all you need is a bible and some simple guidelines printable from online. elders manuals and such books would print in small numbers,, but all documents and lesflets could be printed and magazines studied via technology with a printer friendly version.

  It won't be long.....

  a recently deceased human right worker howard clark who worked for watchtower co rights, remembered..... "i knew howard basically on the c.o.

  issues which had become an agenda item at the u.n. commission on human rights, which met in geneva.

  however, as countries dropped conscription in favor of a professional military or developed alternatives to military service, the only c.o.s left were members of the watchtower society (jehovahs witnesses), whose theology seemed strange to howard, all the more so that in some watchtower publications, the returning jesus seems less nonviolent than the first time around!

  Hence, they say dont get a higher education UNLESS it is a trade....joinery, carpentry, plumbing, electrician.....

  They are THAT transparent ...how many kids have become tradesmen instead of lawyers, doctors, actors, athletes... For the Watchtowers property agenda!

  It takes 3 years to do a trade apprenticeship, the same time spent doing a degree! Its a disgusting, selfish policy! Dont work for free for them!

  As for where it is, they stressed it needed to be more central and close to the road network, I expect it will me in the midlands, near the major motorways. But they were looking at land in the south east. Its funny, they asked for a new branch in 2000 but Brooklyn said no! They have obviously demanded it, now they have made half s billion in NY with selling property, and the new compound in Warwick. Its interesting to me, there is obviously internal politics at play.

  By the way, when I was in bethel uk in 2000, the reason thst Brooklyn said no to a new branch...... Because the end was so close, we needed to print as much as possible! WHAT A JOKE, WHAT A SHAM, WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT......

  Define righteous?

  Keep in mind that in that time, there wS no bible, there was no scripture, so it was IMPOSSIBLE to know about the god of the bible and his laws.

  if you chloose to accept that Sod & Gro existed, they were humans and no different to us in wants and needs. The bible god had not chosen the jews yet, he had chosen no nation, it was IMPOSSIBLE to be righteous by his standards. People forget that Jewish belief (very different to judeo christianity) is,a modern religion compared to the likes of belief systems alive back then, its all the people knew, COULD know.

  Lot survived because...... He was related to Abraham!

  Tec had you lived in Sod & Gro you would have died also....

  The irony of such a good man doing so much for Watchtower as they preached the destruction of mankind for not having their beliefs, including Mr Clark.

  What an awful doctrinal system we once observed.

  So with all our technology and knowledge , in 2013 the ark would cost 73 million dollars, but a drunkard old man managed with his inbred family thousands of years ago, noooooo problem....

  great work Ken, doing wonders for people who care to ponder!
