They're selling everything off so they can make one mega-purchase.
My bet is that they plan to buy Puerto Rico

maninthemiddle, if you can locate that article I would be very interested.
As I put the list together I wondered how many babies were born to parents who didn't really want them, or how many women struggled with births, wishing their partners had been allowed a vasectomy.

Hence, it would be wrong for one to submit to sterilization or approve of sterilization of one’s wife simply because one has no appreciation for God’s gift of the procreative powers.

In the case of sterilization, such as by a vasectomy, the decision is one of personal conscience, since this is not directly mentioned in the Bible.YES, BUT IT MIGHT AFFECT YOUR QUALIFICATIONS - w99 6/15 p. 28 Questions From Readers
Some in that situation have reluctantly submitted to a sterilization procedure as described earlier to make sure that no pregnancy would threaten the life of the mother.Splash

There are numerous examples in the KM where this is written.

As you know, it should not be put in a mailbox, and it is best if it can be left out of sight of passersby.Splash

Jesus 1000 years and Satan's 1000 years in the abyss
by berrygerry inthe thread about satan in the abyss for 1000 years prompts a question.. jesus will rule for 1000 years.. jesus began ruling in 1914, which means his 1000 year reign will end in 2914.. satan will be abyssed for 1000 years.. if the end comes in 2020, satan will be abyssed in 2020, and then released in 3020.. what happens between 2914 and 3020?.
honest question..
-

Splash
The official WT position is that even though Christ has been ruling for 100 years already, this is not part of the 1,000 year reign.
Therefore the 1,000 year reign will correspond to the 1,000 year abyssing - both are still future.

a jehovahs witness who was sacked as a fitness coach after telling a gym member that yoga would allow evil into her body has won a pay out for unfair dismissal.. maciej grochowski, was sacked from his role at the virgin active gym in middleton after several warnings over complaints he was making staff and clients uncomfortable by discussing his beliefs.. he was finally given the boot after writing a series of e-mails to bosses spelling out his religious opinions on issues such as halloween and satanism.. an employment tribunal ruled he was unfairly dismissed as he had not breached the terms of a final warning banning him from discussing religion when it was unwelcome or made others feel uncomfortable.".
"mr grochowski was first warned about his behaviour in june 2011, after several members contacted the gym to see when he was working so they could avoid being there at the same time.

DocHouse This nonsense about the icon being an idol is ridiculous. We neither kneel, kiss, nor pray to it.
But it IS venerated.
It is the symbol placed most prominently on every Kingdom Hall (or soon will be).
It is the subject of our modern door to door preaching.
There is literature printed with the aim of marketing it.
There are presentations and demonstrations given on how to promote it.
It is a primary topic in our meetings.
The GB are producing videos all about it, for the publishers to share with the world.
It is used for Family Worship nights.
How long before it also appears on the Year-text poster that is hung in the front of the kingdom hall, before which the congregation bows its' head in prayer?
Just take a look at all of the convention goers proudly displaying their jw.org badges, pins, brollies, lucky charms, and tell me honestly that you don't see it being used as an idol.
