IBSA (Watchtower UK) property portfolio for sale

by betterdaze in

behold: ibsaproperty.com“the extensive ibsa property portfolio in north london is now being brought to the market.”ibsa moved to the leafy london suburbs of mill hill in the late 1950’s.

since then, expansion has required the acquisition of further properties in the immediate area, and in some cases further beyond.

in recent years, relocation to a single site which would offer greater economy of operation became more than a matter of interest, and in 2014 a suitable site in chelmsford, essex was purchased.

For an organisation that 'is no part of the world' they certainly arent shy about making a profit from it.

What is the purpose of life?

by slimboyfat in

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

What is the logical basis for ruling out the possibility that there may be a solution to the problem of evil that humans either don't or are not able to understand?

Because it's not demonstrable and it's not provable. It's scientific terms it's a worthless concept. That's why it can be logically ruled out.

Until such time you can demonstrate it, obviously.

The purpose of life is to reproduce; sociobiology 101. Anything else is to keep us entertained

The reproducing part can be quite entertaining in itself.

Major congregational quake in Southern California

by Hecce in

this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.

a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.

the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

Landy

Lol! What??
Is this the new standard? Information must appear on google to be considered accurate?
Don't be ridiculous

No, but with no independent verification it's only hearsay - and to be honest it doesnt sound very likely.

LANDY- I'm not at liberty to give out my source on the Bank of America information as I was told to keep my source confidential - however this person is in the industry and is reliable. You may be able to google this info- I don't know, you'll have to check it out. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Nothimg immediately apparent on Google so you'll have to forgive me for treating that as hearsay and taking it with a massive pinch of salt.

and WT Society's credit rating has gone to shit with Bank of America who blackballed them for defaulting on construction loans, which probably means they cannot get credit with other major lenders now for construction.

Interesting. Any lInks/verification of that?

Life doesn't have a purpose other than what you choose to make it.

Origin of Life

by cofty in

in recent years significant progress has been made in solving the question of how life originated on our planet.. how do you think theists will respond when it finally happens?

as a former christian i know my reaction would have been something like "well that just goes to show that it takes intelligent life to make life", but for two reasons that defense doesn't work.. firstly it would prove that life is not an ethereal force that originates with god.

there is no 'ghost in the machine', no elan vital.

@JM - is it really Catholic doctrine that God 'injected' humans with consiousess 6k years ago?

if so that's a new one to me.
