  Lennon and McCartney could so easily have been writing for the Watchtower...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in fact just like the watchtower, i've no idea what they were writing about half the time.

  all that rubbish about " i am the walrus" and eleanor rigby keeping her teeth in a jam jar or something, and what "lucy the in the sky with diamonds" means i do not know!

  anyway, i mention the above because shortly after i quit meetings, beattle loving brother, ian x also, stopped attending meetings, and i watched him transform himself in to a, scruffy bearded, hippyish, beer drinking slob, ( translation a great guy) .

  Question About the New Headquarters at Warwick

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jws are known for building kingdom halls and assembly halls with slave ...er i mean ... volunteer labor, but this new self sufficient headquarters seems a bit more complex.. so who's building it?

  did they hire a firm with educated engineers and architects who know what they are doing?

  or are they still using billy*, who learned how to lay tile from his uncle bob*?.

  From what I understand, in NY there are certain things that have to be done by outfits with the right qualifications. Sometimes WT will have to use outside labor for these things. I believe this happened when 90 Sands was built.

  As for the design, I'm guessing there was some input from outside design firms, but the majority was done in house.

  UN Library again... The "NGO Resource Center"

  by AntiEntropy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we know, there were at least 2 ways to enter the un ngo bldg : 'ground pass' and 'library pass'.

  and the 'ground pass' matters was dealt by many posts in old times.

  basically, the policy of 'library pass' had not been chaged before 9.11 as we read.. however, some pro-jws have been insisting that it was not the un ngo bldg.

  They just said they were no longer an NGO. They explained they had NGO status for access to the library (true?) but then the UN changed the wording of the charter in a way that conflicted with JW beliefs (not true, the charter they signed included that wording already), so they left.

  I didn't think anything of it until I read some news articles shortly afterwards. It was the first of many light bulbs going off in my head.

  As far as I'm aware, they never did explain it to the flock. The only way I'd have even known about back then is because I was in bethel at the time when they announced it during morning worship.

  I bet 99.9% of JWs do not know about this.
