  march 22, 2022. over the past eight months, the watchtower bible and tract society has reviewed public and other comments on its proposed development for 155 sterling mine road in ramapo and has revised its plans.. on monday, the applicant was prepared to present its feis (final environmental impact statement) and hoped the ramapo town board would accept its submission as “final,” to move on to review by the rockland county planning department.. instead, the board deferred making decisions, seemingly because they did not have enough time to review some newly submitted documents by the activist group rosa.. “we’re asking the board to take action on the ‘feis’,” said attorney ira emanuel.

  How can a 65 foot building appear small than 45? Same math as generation? I suppose a smaller footprint would leave more open ground ( parking lot?), but tall things block views.

  I am always torn on groups like ROSA. are they activists for good or nimby types.

  Law of Diminishing Returns

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the law of diminishing returns states: the law of diminishing returns is an economic principle stating that as investment in a particular area increases, the rate of profit from that investment, after a certain point, cannot continue to increase if other variables remain at a constant.

  as investment continues past that point, the return diminishes progressively.. from 1900 through the 1980s, the more witnesses that got baptized and pioneered, the more bible studies that could be had and the more additional witnesses that could join and then congregations would get bigger and they would divide and form in other areas.

  but in the 1990s the law of diminishing returns kicked in, particularly in the bigger cities.

  The notion that the GB and helpers are jovial bumbling imbeciles is way off. They are descended from Rutherford. Right down to hostile takeovers.

  Miniimizing 'Punishment' - marrying a non-JW

  by doasthouwilt in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i’d like to marry my best friend of 30+ years, turned ‘secret’ girlfriend of 1 ½ years who is a jehovah’s witness, born into it, baptized and an active ‘pioneer’.

  our marriage would happen prior to letting any of her jw friends and cohorts know that we are together.

  once married she may simply come forward and ‘admit’ or we may wait until it’s found out – one way or the other, the reason for this marriage is not customary – i am hoping that by doing so she can avoid being ‘marked’ or possibly ‘disfellowshipped’ once our relationship is no longer a secret and due to our already being married at that point, there can be no notion from society elders about her ending the relationship.

  You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Get married and let things fall as they may. And they will fall.

  Life expectancy? Are childhood deaths factored in? Life expectancy at age 20 may be a better metric. I always figured the 70 to 80 Bible thing always holds true. Someone here did point out to me that in Rome lots of skeletons were around 40.

  I just watched some Civil War and 2% of the male population was killed. That would certainly be sobering. And skew the tables.

  There are ways to scrimp. Patch shoe soles with cardboard, cold showers, bathe only on Saturday, turn heat down, wipe with fewer layers, dry and reuse dental floss.

  Just ask the government, they know how peasants should Iive.

  so i pioneered for 10 years in the 1990's it was 90 hours a month with alot of country driving.

  Once upon a time there was a disaster that caused t h e convention parking to be limited. The "rich" congregations got the limited passes for their Mercedes, Cadillac and jaguars. We working poor got street parking or shuttles.
