there continues to be more and more rumors of more halls being sold off some even taking the first offer.
the borg trying to get thier bond money back from the court in san diego asap and there's been elders meetings about this consolidation.
my questions is why after selling off all this real estate in new york for over a billion dollars are they still acting like thier broke?
Maybe they leveraged thier New York real estate to gamble on Wall Street and lost. They are definitely acting as though they have debts to pay. Also the fact that both the US and London headquarters are changing makes me think they leveraged the London property too.
After the KH money grab and the New York sales they should be flush. But these current Kingdom Hall consolidations and that fact that thier not even being discreet about makes me think thier still in the hole.
i grew up in this religion, i was baptized at 14, married at 27, and now i'm 31. i'm also evolutionist and atheist.
i wanted this to be the truth.
i spent years as an apologist trying to reconcile everything.
For your wife's sake just fade away unless you think she'll join you after you pull the trigger. If she has friends or family in she probably won't. Just fade and in time they stop talking to you, if they don't bring up some about the ARC and they'll soon run every time they see you.
1st corinthians 15 12-17. but if it is preached that christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even christ has been raised.
and if christ has not been raised, your faith is futile... .
There's just to many problems with the New Testament to take any of it seriously. I mean really all the people that believe in the Bible never really studied it or read it with a critical view. I mean go ask any pioneer or elder or CO about the two different stories of christs death and resurrection and they won't have a clue what your talking about. Ask them about the different stories again about his birth and child hood and again they won't have a clue that the gospels are different in the details.
Another word for faith should be ignorance because one you have knowledge you loose your faith!

i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.
so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).
so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.
Chook will be DFD!
tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).
ps.
Me too
namely an e-religion with minimal congregations?
notice the very similar subject matters.
Berrygerry, it was Armstrong that originally came up with the idea of 1975 the jws copied him. I also notice on the original website to this thread it looks like they too are on Roku .
in ancient egypt the tree of life was the acacia tree .
this trees bark has dmt a very hallucinogenic drug.
the egyptians also believe they had a third eye the penal gland which is in the brain or just under it.

How much hallucinogenic drugs played a part in the creation of the Bible? How much did dmt play in to thier concept of knowledge since one of the trees in the garden of eden was a tree of knowledge? Jacobs ladder and other stories in the Bible did they come about when someone was on DMT?
hemosep – blood recycling system.
a blood recycling system, the hemosep cell savage, was developped at brightwake ltd. it is praised as costsaving and lifesaving device for jw who undertake major surgery.
one of the company's trading arms advancis surgical markets the device.
Isn't there a scripture that says that blood is to be poured out and wasn't it not to long ago jws were not to use any medical device that stored or recovered blood because of this scripture? Is this not more hypocrisy?
according to acts 15, the meeting at jerusalem boldly declared that god's holy spirit issued a formal resolution counselling christians to "abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood, and from things strangled, and from formication", yet in 1 corinthians chapters 8 &10 paul set the holy spirit-issued resolution of the jerusalem meeting regarding the eating of meat sacrificed to idols aside:.
"concerning the eating of food offered to idols … some, because of their former association with the idol, eat food as something sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
but food will not bring us nearer to god; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor better off if we eat.
Who's to say the book of acts was written before the book of Corinthians. It's like dealing with the proclamations made at the Nicea in 325 called the nicean creed. Why did the bishops even have to deal with the issues about christs divinity , for the book of John told them or maybe it's because the book of John hadn't been written yet.
