anyone who has done any amount of internet searching re jws knows that local congs are constantly appearing before local governments asking for zoning variances for consruction of new khs.. typically, such excerpts are not post worthy, but this apears to be an exception.. imo, this article demonstrates how jws/wts arrogantly expect authorities to kowtow to their every desire by bending and breaking rules and laws, while they maintain an attitude that noone better even think about abridging their legal rights, or they will sue their ass:.

The Bulli KH was torched in an arson attack, and apparently the quickbuild is being delayed by Wollongong Council redtape. I wonder if they're refusing to grant variations to regulations too? I've always wondered about that KH; if there's an overflow from their tiny car park, where do they park: around the corner and up the road in Hobart St? Although interestingly, many local Dubs live in and around Hobart St, so the "most of them walk" excuse may arguably hold water. If the KH is never rebuilt, what happens to all the Dubs who moved to that part of Bulli deliberately?

Cannot understand without the organisation

just in case any lurkers here may be in doubt about the criticisms made of the witnesses' idolizing of an organisation, here is a selection of their claims, in their own words:.

"he [god] does not impart his holy spirit and an understanding and appreciation of his word apart from his visible organisation.

" (the watchtower, july 1, 1965, page 391).

The Borg are a race of cyborgs off Star Trek that assimilate their victims and their technology and can adapt to any weaponry fired against them. Their catchcry is "Resistance is futile".

Sydney's southern suburbs being evacuated

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

a fresh southerly has been blowing this afternoon further worsening the problems for the southern suburbs of sydney.

in the western suburbs the sound of fire trucks' sirens has been heard all day.

mrs ozzie and i decided to try without the airconditioning.

You'll probably get your turn soon... Still, thanks for sending your firefighters up here to help, even if they are Victorians!

Not much action here; smoke billowing across the sky from the mountains, of course, and black leaves in the yard. Roads and railway to Sydney cut; they cancelled the 3:04pm home because all their trains were still up in Sydney! Had to wait for the 3:57; couldn't get a lift home to Woonona because the road between Thirroul and Bulli seems to be blocked at the bottom of Bulli Pass.

Hey Unc, where's your spirit of free enterprise and all that? There's nothing to stop you from creating a rival Who's Who! LOL
