just found online.
the first of several properties in brooklyn heights that were recently put on the market by the jehovah's witnesses has been sold.
the price paid was $7.1 million, slightly under its asking price, according to massey knakal realty services, the brokerage that was retained to sell three of the witnesses' buildings valued at a total of $18.45 million in the neighborhood.. the five-story, 20-unit elevator building at 50 orange st. was sold in an all cash deal, said robert knakal, chairman of the brokerage.
Of course they keep them in mint condition because free labour was provided to renovate/maintain the said premises.
If i had given a bill to the WTS for all the specialised work i have done for them it would be in the $100k+ ! and thats just me , let alone all the other tradesman who get used. I feel like ive been used! and they didnt even give me anything in return. Sorry i lie! 3 schmelders in a JC shafted me forgetting all i had done for them. Pricks.

there will be more to come folks, when i'm allowed to start another topic.
cheers.. to respond to the posting below (since i can't reply right now), it's because they weren't aware of the change until then..
Wow how stupid are you trthskr?
Oh im giving a public talk on imorality so i will go hangout in a brothel to know about prostitution! ???
this is a sugestion i have to all members of this board ,members from all over the world, to let the victorian government in australia know that the world is concerned about protecting the children of victoria ,and theirby setting a precedent for the rest of the world, who are interested in the outcome of the criminal charges against the religion of jehovah`s witnesses in refusing to abide by the legislation to get "working with children checks"when required to do so.correct me if i`m wrong but i think if all of us sent letters to the newspapers here in australia ,the different members of parliment here,we would demonstate that the victorian judicial system here is under scrutiny to do the right thing in the eyes of the world.. we all complain that the wtb&ts/jehovahs witnesses is a cult religion that sucks,destroying family relationships,here is a chance to do something about it.
whether you agree with steven unthank or not,here is an opportunity to stick up for the children of jehovah`s witnesses and every other child that a witness calls on in their door to door ministry.. what do you think ?.
smiddy.
Yes i agree wholeheartedly with the above.
What we are seeking is a general awareness of what is going on with respect to the Working with Children Act of 2005 and JW.
I have finished all my letters to every sitting member of the Vic parliment. Im planning to post these later this month.
As i live in another state i have commended Victoria for having this law and hope other states follow their lead in child protection.
I draw their attention to a serious breech's of this law by the WTBTS of Australia , and in the interests of children would they follow the progress of the upcoming court cases.
I hope that all our combined efforts help to save children from harm. Even if it saves one child its worth it!
regards to all

for some reason, i simply cannot remember any written review being done and graded in all my jw time (1962 to about 1980).. have i completely forgotten this, or did it get started after i had left?.
I remember the days when the cong would be silent for 20 minutes or so. I was only young then but reflecting on it that 20 min was the best thing i ever heard from the platform.

it is well known of course that ct russell was a fan of william miller and the mans teachings.
indeed his colaboration with millerite nelson barbour cemented russells love of all that was millerism.. i recall some time ago a thread wherin it was mentioned that fred franz had a library stuffed full of millerite books and so on, and that he himself modeled his own style of address and writing after william miller himself.. with that sort of impact on the doctrines and teaching methods adopted by the society at that time, i am also wondering about orson wells book 1984.. could it be plausable that this book also has its place on the shelves of some locked away private library?
published in 1949, the wt leadership has had plenty of time to study the methods of the novel and try them out.
Animal Farm more like Watchtower Farm
All witnesses are equal, some witnesses are more equal than others!

well i think we need a modern myth and where else to look but the arts.
i think mozart magic flute portrays in many ways the asspirations of his time and ours.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/the_magic_flute.
background.
Apart from all that , this is my favourite Operetta by Mozart . Great start for any who think Opera is a bit too heavy.

Thanks for the thought Aussie Oz . I had wondered what influenced Russell early in his life. Miller? early science fiction in the guise of religion?
I think C T Russell would have been an interesting person,a little odd but hey who am i to talk(-goat). He really would have been a Sci fi fan and made movies.... no sorry i was getting George Lucas in my mind.
(How dumb am i , i didnt know this till recently )
Jehovahs's Witnesses are a second adventist religion.
add to that now Millerite foundations i dont know what you could call them???

i found this site hoping to read topics submitted by jw's so i could learn more, but it just seems to be everyone else here except them.
just about every topic and member is just bashing jw's and their teachings.
this site should be renamed "jwbashertrolls.net".
Who's the troll here? If I really wanted to I'd just delete my site cookie and reboot my DSL modem and be issued a new IP address since it's dynamic, and create a new account with another e-mail address. Trolls took over this board.
trthskr why dont you just do as you say turn everything off . Stand up look at the wall ,calm your feeble mind and run as fast as you can at the wall and it will let you pass to an astral plane where other like minded beings exist.
(PS did you see me in "Men who stare at Goats" im an extra at the back of the herd but didnt get a closeup gig. )
trthskr again my picture for you
i never tire of using this.what a rude little boy

i read with great interest the evil spirits thread, amazed at the ignorance on this forum concerning the occult.. if you do not believe in the spirit world, you are certainly akin to toothless hillbillies.
good for moonshine making, cousin marrying and not much else.. both the usa and the russians continue to pursue the occult, following in the foorsteps of nazi germany.
they are not ignorant people, such as yourselves.. hopefully, you non-believers will slowly breed yourselves out of the population, since you are the ones holding back progress, with your precious "science" which is really bullshit in disguise.. so tell me, what separates you "intellectuals" from those so called ancient ignorants?
shamus100 just a question are you south african?
