  Thanks for the info Corney.

  It clarifies things: the org has applied for Planning Permission to demolish 3 KH's on the site and replace them with something smaller.

  Not personally, but I know for a certainty that an elder and his wife in my last congregation acquired a nice bungalow from the local council because they'd been praying to Jehovah to get it! Clearly, divine intervention.

  There's also the case of a building contractor who promised God that he'd study with JW's if Jehovah would help him find a leak in the roof of a new building he was responsible for. He then found it after praying. Miracle of miracles!

  I rest my case.

  i knew of several elders who would tell their wife's everything that happened in a committee meeting.

  he is still and elder and very old but i doubt he has changed.

  we used to call him.

  100% certain!

  The Service Overseer's wife let me know that she knew what was going on in a case I was "involved" with. (as a witness)

  Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, confide in or confess to an elder. You will always regret it!

  Welcome Toby. Glad to hear your wife joined you.

  Don't dignify this evil cult by playing by their rules; write nothing & say nothing. Faders are 'loose ends', and the org hates loose ends.

  the undeniable truth is that there in no consensus amongst the uk's politicians for any single outcome.. labour mp hilary benn has today joined the ranks of countless others who apparently have very severe hearing & sight problems - by submitting an amendment which suggests the following:.

  1) reconsider mrs. may's deal .

  2) leave the eu with no deal, .

  An expert on BBC's Question Time last Thursday evening reminded people of the fact that they weren't given the option of leaving the EU with any kind of deal - leaving the door wide open for all sorts of sell-outs (aka "compromises") by the government.

  The questions were plain and simple; leave the EU or remain. 17m+ voted to leave, 14m+ voted to remain.

  Family reunion

  my wife and i just enjoyed a family reunion with both my sons ,one wife and one grandchild 10 years old ,where they stayed at our house for a week .. the best week we have had for many a year .

  the couple live only 2 hours away by car and the other son and his child live 2 states away 2 hours by plane.. and thankfully they are no longer associated with the borg that i now regretfully brought them up in , so the borg will never get their children.. it was a happyfying time .

  Smiddy - May your happy experience inspire and encourage others who are hoping that their blinded friends/families will see the org hiding behind the curtain.

  You never know, perhaps even the person who "thumbed down" will learn something while they're here, start thinking for themselves, and wrest control of their life from the Warwick hierarchy.

  Labour MP Hilary Benn has today joined the ranks of countless others who apparently have very severe hearing & sight problems - by submitting an amendment which suggests the following:

  1) reconsider Mrs. May's deal

  2) leave the EU with no deal,

  3) seeking to renegotiate the deal or

  4) holding another referendum.

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46955437

  The 1st and 3rd suggestions have already been certified as dead & buried - thanks to a massive rejection by the UK Parliament and an even bigger rejection by the EU government, which reduces the options to a choice between 2 or 4.

  Since the vast majority of MP's are united against the no-deal scenario, an extension of 6 months of Article 50 to allow for another referendum would be my bet.

  Historical snapshot of how Watch Tower manipulated $$

  charles t. russell, age of 13, joined the congregational church (dumped presbyterian).. he went (like girl scouts are sent out with cookies to sell) door to door to raise money for the congregational church.. attitude as a youthrussell hated fundraising.

  he had to ask poor people to part with their money.

  he said he felt he was "fleecing the flock.".

  It looks like the following info from the link has been incorrectly detailed:

  I have made a chart with each individual value but for the sake of space I'm giving , here below, the total value of LAND and BUILDINGS for all the above addresses:

  202,782,892,000.00 U.S.A. $

  or 273,898,990,000.00 CAN. $

  or 172,608,880,000.00 EURO

  or 121,588,680,000.00 B.POUND

  $202 billion????

  Thanks Blondie & Terry.

  Charlatan Taze Russell knew a good business opportunity when he saw one!

  I'll be applying for a Green Card - and if successful, emigrate to Florida and start my own tax-free snare & racket religion. Live the real American dream!

  Good summary of the financial origins of the cult.

  Just one question: Why doesn't the WTBTS (in the U.S.) have to publicly show its balance sheets nowadays?
