  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm now fully convinced that the society provide new lite!

  well, at least the lite that is defined by miriam webster.

  they were right all along, just had the wrong spelling.. lite- 2: diminished or lacking in substance or seriousness <litenews>; specifically : being an innocuous or unthreatening version often used postpositively <it is film noir lite james greenberg> .

  Cost of new Kingdom Halls?

  by Blttex in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been told that the cost to build a new kingdom hall is $500k +.

  i have a background in commercial construction and this seems pretty high to me, considering all the free labor.

  that is just the cost of the building, excluding the lot price.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i keep reading about situations where one spouse is a jw and the other a relatively normal functioning human being.
