Suffern tenants must move after Jehovah's Witnesses group buys building

by TJ Curioso in

suffern tenants must move after jehovah's witnesses group buys building .

suffern the nonprofit organization behind the jehovahs witnesses has purchased an apartment complex in the village with plans to use it as temporary housing for members while they work to build a massive new headquarters in nearby warwick, orange county.. the sale of the 48-unit suffern commons at 10-12 chestnut st. closed last week, a spokesman for the watchtower society told the journal news.. the deal forces families in the three-story building to quickly find alternative housing and could mean a loss to the village of $56,000 in annual property taxes if the new owner secures a religious tax exemption which it is interested in, spokesman richard devine said.. before the sale was confirmed, tenants spent the past few weeks anxiously trying to figure out why some of them received notices to vacate by june 30. others who had signed one-year leases or didnt know when their leases were up, like terri fosina-friedman, also have prepared to move.. but the painful process and lack of information from their landlord and the new owner has angered many residents, fosina-friedman said.. im just happy that i got it settled and i got another place to live and my son can stay in the school district, she said.. the watchtower society, the brooklyn-based organization that establishes doctrine for millions of jehovahs witnesses around the world, intends to honor tenants existing leases at suffern commons, devine said.

he indicated that the society would consider an extension of the june 30 move-out deadline.. were going to work with the tenants, he said.

heard from a friend living on the east coast (u.s.) that bethel is starting to crack down on obesity.

they are sending bethlites for mandatory physicals and if your bmi is high they make you go on a diet.

according to my friend, this person told him that he knows of a bethel brother who was flat out told he was "fat!

Tater I agree with you, but I want to be fair also and other things can cause weight gain even though eating less is ultimately the solution.

I feel that they will begin to address this soon with elders and I am sure that they already are bugging CO's and DO's. I for one am not surprised by this since obesity is a growing problem especially in the U.S and is a leading cause of premature death. They ban drug use and cigs already.

That being said I do fully understand and appreciate that many factors go into a person's size namely DNA, bad metabolism, depression, medications that cause you to gain weight, etc. At any rate I am just curious if anyone else noticed or heard of this and also what are your thoughts on it.

They seem to be fringe JWs at best. Weak, irregular or inactive. Kind of like the Wiliams sisters

Why do JWs stay despite doubts & discoveries about JW Beliefs?

by ProfCNJ in

jw
friends

if we are going to create a pie chart with the following categories, what could be the main components-reasons and their respective percentages for just staying in the organization in spite of the doubts, discoveries about the jw doctrines/beliefs?

i doubt if the topmost reason is because of love of jehovah god and his son jesus christ.

your inputs dear friends and fellow brothers will be most appreciated.. a. below 40 years old.

XBEHERE

A. below 40 years old

B. 40 years old and above

1) Concern about Family's Reaction (closely tied to number 7 below, not really my kids as much as wife and my immediate family) - % 50

2) Friends & social connections/well-being %2

(and the fear of losing them all because of shunning) - % 0

3) Love of Jehovah God and His Son - % 3

4) Love of the worlwide brotherhood - % 0

5) Fear of destruction in Armageddon - % 0

6) Discomfort in moving to another religion/sect - % 4

an hour or two ago, i was reading a topic on this forum that welcomed new elders to jwn.

there was some criticism aimed at the op and i understand that elders shouldn't be singled out as special.

one poster said he/she hates all elders.
