does remodelling really add value to the price when one sells a kh ? most of the time im guessing the building gets demolished or the insides get remodelled anyway. how many customers want a kh insides setup ? i just dont get it, most of the time thoudands will be spent, for the few who care.

84Kingdom Hall remodel - scam
by Dagney ini was wondering from any here in the know, does it seem like there is a lot of "remodels" going on?.
in the last week i had the occasion to talk with two jw's in different halls, about 10 miles apart.
they both are undergoing major remodels.

Take a look at American history past and present.
America was one of the last western countries to get rid of slaves, and it took especially long to give basic rights to blacks.
Then came WW2, the US government virtually bankrupted the UK while it was standing alone to fight Hitler, and at the same time it was still allowing companies to do business with him.
Moving onto the present, it continues to support some of the worst most vile nations on earth, like Saudi Arabia, Hussein and Iraq, Mubarrak and Egypt and even at one stage considered Osama a friend.
America is not very popular in many parts of the world, for simple reason it has supported way to many dictators just to earn a dollar. America has almost never done anything on principal. Before you get all high and mighty, stop and think a bit.

Could it be that his horrible personality drove him to destroy perhaps unknowingly the very thing he loved - the WTS. We see the same thing with Hitler, an idiot but he belived he was helping Germany and in the end couldnt see his ideas were actally the downfall and destruction of Germany.

Its sad that man thinks he can poison and destroy the environment, overfish etc but until something happens theres no force to change that.
@james_woods
Actually, "man" in general does not think that any longer - and probably never did.
It is a positive point of proof for man's sensitivity to the other species that we are having this debate.
@mp
Debate or words even are cheap. Talk doesnt in anyway change the status quo or improve anything. In the end we all continue to consume and think we are top priority. Man by definition is selfish, always has been, always will be. Im not saying that is bad im just stating the facts as i see them.

Humans are placed above animals because though we lack physical strength and other physical attributes we counter this with machines and knowledge. Given this fact, we set the standards and value of things whether you agree or disagree, thats a fact of this world.

I was referring to the Catholic tradition of confession. The priests back in the day were agents of the King.
Sorry if i didnt make that clear i was discussing religions cooperation with the king at the time.

When will they merge the BS, TMS, WTS, T into one meeting ?
by mP init seems to me with all the times being cut from talks, you could save further time and simply smash all the meetings into one on the weekend.
this would also save the need for those extra kingdom hall songs, and one trip to the kh.
with all these savings, jws could easily double their ministry..

They could just have meetings over the internet every other night, perhaps a bible reading or something just to keep followers in check.

If they used 365 days in a year that gives a few more years to the calculation.
7 times * 360 should read 7 * 365, it all helps. With that extra 35 years the generation that saw 1914 sorry 1949 is back on track, at least they arent all dead.
