elder,
I don't think your numbers refer to new constructions. They must include remodeling/repairs too. I believe the latter is the bulk of the total.

2016 Calendar: Give us more money!
by wifibandit injust got a peak at the 2016 calendar and i cannot tell you how much it bothered me.
it's all about constructing new kh and assembly halls, which is completely ironic given that the construction stopped almost worldwide.obviously this is proof that the borg is shifting from a magazine publisher to a real estate conglomerate, no wonder they're getting rid of 12 issues of magazines all together.. now, while the pdf of this is not up on the site yet, i will post confirmation as soon as it becomes available.
weather that is by legitimate means or other wise..

You must be right Simon. I must be wrong.

Umbertoecho,
Oh well, you started it. It sounds quite unlikely, but in the realm of plausibility. Here it goes:
The Royal Commission has been very open throughout every part of the procedure, why is it that now turns Watchtoweresque and becomes secretive about who can bring litigation against the Watchtower. I certainly got a problem with that, so my fertile imagination comes with a possible scenario. Is it perhaps corruption within the Royal Commission? Someone inside the RC in a position of power is trying to give exclusive, huge business to friends/family/partners, who in turn will share the spoils with that person(s) inside the RC.
You see, when an organization becomes secretive, it allows people to distrust and become very imaginative. My main point is not the unlikely scenario that I am describing, but that it is fair that anyone can voice his/her opinions, however crazy they are, and the rest of us should restrain from throwing insults just because those opinions don't suit our own opinion, even if we can claim knowledge and first hand experience regarding the issue.

So sorry about your loss. Thank you for reminding me too of the importance of being supportive and compassionate towards those whom we love. My mom is still alive, she is over 70. I will make my best efforts to be with her as much as possible while she can enjoy the company and support of those around her. -

Umbertoecho,
From whatever little I read in your past posts you have the right to be angry, very angry... at the Watchtower. Don't take it on someone who gives you a voice and has given thousands a voice, even helped them find freedom from the stronghold of the Watchtower. In the big picture, Simon and many here are on your side. You are acting just like the Watchtower leaders, arrogant and derisive towards those who simply disagree or know less than you do. Calm down! Don't escalate this more than you have.

Jehovah's Witnesses - People of Integrity
by Saved_JW inwhen i think of integrity, a lot of positive connotations come to mind.
i think of individuals grounded in principles, who do not operate on opinions that change based on the breeze of political or social change.
a life that is directed by a code of morality, not on capricious emotions.

Good opening piece, but as noted by Oubliette, the main premise is flawed. JW's lose their integrity in order to stay loyal. -

Introducing...ME

Heartsafire,
Call me sexist, I still may be, but I read your post and assume you were a man. Yes, 50 years of a patriarchal society's indoctrination -- and a Pew research that indicates there are still a lot more women than men inside the Org--- makes me think that the first one to wake up are usually men. But it's not so lately. That's just great! Now I can claim women are just as smart as men, without forcing myself to be politically correct. Thank you! I wish you the best in your quest to set things right.

by minimus inat my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.
evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.
it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..
