what I don't get is if the halls have been bought and paid for many years ago, why do this to the friends? Why not let them keep their hall? Selling only makes sense if they can't afford the overhead like utilities and stuff,

Trashy Watchtower Corporation Carts In Public Places, Can Cities Ban them?
by Brokeback Watchtower inthey have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.
have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?
i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.

They have a cart outside the hospital. The only reason you need to visit a hospital is if you’re sick, visiting someone who’s sick or you work there. The JW cart is on the public sidewalk at the of a pedestrian crossing. While some may say they are harmless they are surely not. They take advantage of the sick and the weak.

Simon's Forum Is More Than Just a Forum!
by Atlantis infriends:.
simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.
it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.

After all these years
by truthseeker ini found out a couple of weeks ago that friends who i haven’t seen for over 20 years left the watchtower two years ago.
and it’s having a ripple effect on their friends who are in.. i was also going to post on the thread about posters who’ve left but it seems to have been locked!.
i have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for jw activism.

I have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for JW activism. However that is going to change next year when I will devote 100% to getting my JW book written - it’s just my time is taken up with projects around the home.

Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?
by TerryWalstrom inbanks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.
in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?
banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

Are we to assume that for every credit/debit there has to be an equal credit/debit somewhere else to offset the first?
The Federal Reserve and/or the Treasury print money. At the time of printing, what is the value of a $10 bill? Is it $10? The value of the paper that the note is printed on? Each bill has a serial number on it. What is it backed by?
Simon, if I ask you to paint my flat for $100 and you agree and paint my flat, you give me a bill (invoice) for a $100. I give you a $100 dollar bill and therefore have discharged a debt. Hence the phrase the bill is legal tender for all debts, private and public.

Say you go to a dealership and buy a car for $20,000.
You sit down with the finance manager and they run your details through the computer.
Wells Fargo pops up. They can loan you the money less downpayment of $1,000 to the dealer.
You agree to the terms, make the downpayment and off you drive home in your new car with your title and registration.
The dealership sold you a car, the bank created a credit entry of -$19,000. You have to pay that money back to the bank with interest but where did the bank get the $19k from to pay the dealer?
Other than your downpayment, no physical money changed hands.
If that isn't creating money out of thin air I don't know what is.
