i am technically inactive.
i was just curious if there are many people on the inside.
are there any within bethel itself?
I am a fader aka inactive. Ill disassociate if my mother ever passes but hopeful thats not for 20-30 years.
Jgnat It is a way better deal to be a male UBM. You are the technical head of the house and they hope to always convert you. Being a female UBM kind of seems like a raw deal.
once you spend your property it is spent forever.
this is what the wts is doing by selling out of brooklyn.
would it not make a lot more financial sense to become landlords in one of the hottest rental markets in the world?.
Many of the properties are commercially zoned. In the Brooklyn Heights area residential real estate is much more valuable. So the deal they made with Bloomberg was that they would get a free re-zoneing to residential if they sold and put the property tax revenues back on the books. To me it makes sense to sell now which doubles the value of many of the properties.
They also cant rent the properties as a for profit enterprise without loosing tax exmept status.
i apologise if this has been posted before, but it made me laugh.

I think every post by NoStoneCutters should be ended with AHHHHH HAAAAA!
PS Homer Simpson would never have let you into the Stone Cutters to begin with!
Here is the Video!
ricky gervais tweeted this 11/14/12 and i totally agree with it:.
"there are good atheists and bad atheists.
there are good believers and bad believers.. no god has ever changed that.".
I think the truce should be between Theists and Non-Believers....better dividing line.
hiya,.
i'm new to this forum but just wanted to talk to somebody about this.. i was brought up as a jw and left just over a year ago.
i'm now 26 and feel messed up sexually.
TurttleTurttle....What a shitty thing to say to somone.
I think that people are more understanding when you tell them where you came from. Just be honest when you are dating that youmight make some missteps because you werent allowed to date when you were younger. When I explained my background to a girl I was dating she was understanding and happy that I told her.
at my moms i watched the video in croatian and as i waited for the now famous "sparlock" line...it was replaced by "mitadoor.
" there is no grammatical reason why they cant use the name sparlock....perhaps for legal reasons as a company has that name....and ofcourse you guys made it famous on youtube!
!.
Cedars...dont speak ill of the one true god!
http://therealdeal.com/blog/2012/11/12/chetrit-bistricer-pay-81-million-for-brooklyns-bossert-hotel/.
that is quite a hit.
it had sold a few ago for $100m but that fell through.
Ouch...nothing better than hearing they lost 19m....They still made a lot of money off of the slave labor renovations.
hawaii window of opportunity gives victims of jehovah's witness sexual abuse a chance for justicehttp://www.zalkin.com/sexual_abuse_blog/2012/november/hawaii_window_of_opportunity_gives_victims_of_je.aspxsurvivors of childhood sexual abuse in hawaii now have an unprecedented opportunity to seek justice and hold those responsible for their abuse accountable.
on april 24, 2012, the state of hawaii changed the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse occurring years, or even decades ago.
beginning last april, and continuing through april 24, 2014, any survivor of childhood sexual abuse can file a lawsuit, even if their claim had been barred by the statute of limitations in the past.
This is great. We need this to happen in every state. I have read about similar laws in the past and always thought about the JWS. If enough states had laws like these it would be a real game changer.
i'm currently without a cellphone after reading a text message that made me play twist and internally shout with my cell phone.
been a while since i did something this retarded but it did feel good and natural at the time.
i went to bestbuy for a new phone and decided i dont want to talk with anyone right now anyway.
I have a friend with that problem....
