smiddy - you bring up a good point. That we shouldn't really hold back if we have a topic in mind to bring up. I mean, this is really the only place that I really can express myself and really be me. I can let my true thoughts out and express them as I really am here and no where else.

The value of starting a new topic
by smiddy ini see some members , who have been on this board for many ,many years , who very seldom posted a topic for discussion..i would like to encourage everyone in this situation to re-think there reasons for not starting a subject for discussion.. sometimes after the event , i have thought to myself why did you start that topic ,stupid, however on reading the replies to that said topic , i have learnt a helluva lot more in having done so .in other words i learn a great deal more from the feedback i get from you guys than the question or statement i post.. you might think your question or statement is irrelevant , however to somebody else on this board it may just be the thing they are looking for to help them get through some issue of there own .. so please don`t hold back from posting a subject dear to your heart , or anywhere else .. just saying .
smiddy.

Sales of Watchtower headquarters could total $1.2 billion, real estate pros predict
by MaybeSo inwe let the qualified buyers participate in a competitive bidding process and see where the market goes with it, devine told the eagle.. doesn't this logic reflect the same expectation of gambling or buying a lottery ticket?
you don't know if you are going to win big or if you're just going to come out even or lose your $1 investment.. how do they know there's not going to be another market or housing crash the next day and get pennies for their properties?.
how can they honestly say: "...see where the market goes with it" and at the same time condone other for playing lottery tickets or gambling or leaving things to chance like not getting higher education.

One things for sure, it will be very interesting to see just what they do when the properties sell. This will tell their true motives. Will they do more cut backs, will they start to build more? Just what that is or isn't is what will be the true tell all. And it may not happen right away. They may not do anything after the 'big sale' for a few months. But sooner or later they will make a move. And they will have to do "something" with it because the rank and file are watching now and are aware because they themselves put it out there on JW tv. -

Let me explain what I meant by Splaine doing his damage control and still managing to fail. He went there and and the parts during the video where you hear him speak, all you hear him say is 'don't listen to them. Don't believe what they say, it's all one-sided.' Ok, yeah, but then the report goes on to say that Splaine never then gives his side of the story. So he never addresses the issue, which is the whole fricken reason why all those brothers and sisters packed the assembly hall in the first place!
But hey, what are we to expect, this is the GB for crying out loud right? I guess if we wanted some smarts to come out of this we should have someone with a college degree go there.
