among the ammenities are a sand volley ball court, two tennis courts and a full basketball court.... there's also parking garages and picnic areas for visitors.... by the way, not sure exactly what this is but you'll notice a shaded area labelled "undergound chamber"... interesting.... (i wonder if moving out to the middle of nowhere was intended to keep bethelites from sneaking out at night and going to the liquor store... just saying).
the future belongs to those who are following the lead of the Governing Body.
Following that logic, they should have no problem with JWs building new homes, buying new cars, etc. But that isn't the case, is it?
FWIW, that's the question I would ask JWs who brag about these new HQ, to show the hypocrisy in its purest form.

Why are they building a new headquarters when Armageddon is Right Around the Corner™?
What a terrible example they are for the Brothers™ and Sisters™.
or to acheieve any goals in their life.
and how dare you try to enjoy your life in this sick and demonic world.
dont you know that this world wont be here for long?
They don't want us to have success, because they want to be able to point at us and say to their children: "This is what happens when you Leave The Truth™" - they want us to be drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals, living on skid-row, psychotic, etc. to scare their kids off of Leaving The Truth™.
If we're happy, successful, in good relationships, well-adjusted, doing well financially, how can that possibly scare their kids and keep them in line?
i have been meaning to post this for awhile and i just came across this example yet again with a jw it is so frustrating because it is just not true!.
i so clearly remember assemblies and talks where this point was brought out over and over, that banks teach their teller only what real money looks like so they will know the feel and touch of it, that banks never give their telles counterfeit but only real money so then when a counterfeit comes through they can catch it easily because they know what the real thing looks like so well.
it is even in the bible teach book that was printed in 2005.. none of it is true.. when my husband and i left bethel in 1994 i was working at two jobs all the time to try to make it, finally i got a job as a bank teller.
I was just thinking that very thing, Baltar447!

I wonder if it's wrong to put counterfeit money in the Contribution Box™. It would serve them right, as they dispense counterfeit Truth™.
has anyone seen this year's memorial invitation?
maybe someone could post a picture.. on the front is a question to the householder, 'how do you view jesus?'.
then it gives multiple choices with accompanying pictues: .
In other words, they don't give a $h!t what your view is, they're going to tell you what they think it ought to be, whether you like it or not!!
this is only the beginning .... .

i just wanted to ask a question as regards jw baptism.
i already know that just before the actual baptism the soon to be jw has to answer 2 questions, but what i'd like to know is this: during the actual baptism do the jw's stick to matt 28:19 "baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit" ?.
thanks in advance for any help.. i'd also like to know if it would be possible to speak privatly with one of the more experianced members.
Watchtower changes Baptism Questions
"At the close of the convention baptism talk, the baptism candidates will be in position to answer with depth of understanding and heartfelt appreciation two simple questions that serve to confirm that they recognize the implications of following Christ's example.
The first question is: On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
The second is: Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?
Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism."
Watchtower 1985 June 1 p.30
i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.
and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).
but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?
I wrote a spoof article based on King Eglon being smited while "easing nature" and King Saul having his robe cut by David while "easing nature" as "proof" that "easing nature" was not for True Christians™. It's exactly the same Logical™ train of thought for the ban on birthdays.

a father-of-five died of injuries from a road traffic incident in hertford, an inquest confirmed yesterday (wednesday february 22).. .
david aldersonbut coroner edward thomas could not say if the death of david alderson, 66, was accidental, as the driver who hit him in welwyn road, sele farm, has never come forward.. the body of the welwyn garden city resident was found by a cyclist at 6.50am on july 27 last year.. collision investigator constable edward peachment told hatfields coroners court it was believed david was struck by a large vehicle which launched him over the fence, but it was unclear which way he was facing.. he said the motorist would have realised they had hit something.. the retired lorry driver was last seen at peartree surgery in welwyn at 5.30pm the day before, but his actions between then and when he was found are unknown and so is the time of death.. he failed to attend his jehovahs witness meeting that night, but may have thought it had been cancelled.. he had planned to watch television, having marked out programmes in the tv guide.. a man matching his description was seen walking on the road towards welwyn garden city at 7.30pm.. at 8.45pm, regular road user michelle merison saw a woman aged about 50 wearing a flowery skirt and two young men hovering where david was found, with a car on the other side.. his family are desperate for anyone with information to call the police.. mr thomas said: i implore anyone who knows anything about it or remembers seeing david to give their information.
at 8:45 pm the meeting would have just finished....

I don't think it was an accident....
