  Go Figure

  so, after browsing through this website and then taking the search for the real 'truth' about the wts into my own hands, i decided to confront my jw mother.

  i stuck with the date-changing (1914, 1975, 2000) and asked what the explanation was since i have been gone for over 10 years now.

  she was quiet for a minute, then told me there was an explanation but she would have to look it up.

  "If 99% of what they tell me is true, then I am not going to worry about the other 1%".

  Would your mother drink a glass of water if it contained 1% poison?

  ...man I love using their own illustrations against them

  Threats to the DUMBO community by the WTS:

  "the alternative to the towers threatened by the society was a six- or eightstory parking garage so the Jehovah?s Witnesses could move their cars quickly from their lot at Pier 5, which is slated for use in the Brooklyn Bridge Park."

  Basically, "Hey, if you don't like our plans for a residence, then we'll just throw up this ugly-ass 8-story parking garage. So approve our plans, and accept our offer to rebuild the subway entrance and install new lightposts in the DUMBO area and we'll call it a wash."

  I know, I've seen this tactic used a few times when going before variance hearing boards. "Don't want to adjust the codes for me? Fine, then I'll build this other hideous structure which does meet your current building and zoning codes."

  That's a pretty dirty trick, but I guess it worked for the WTS.

  BTW, I've seen worse architectural renderings, but I can't think of where.

  The "Kingdom Services" building dept have access and use a professional architectural rendering program [Autodesk Viz], but they must have thrown this hand rendering together at the last minute to "entice" the board in contrast to thier 8-story parking garage threat.

  has anyone currently heard the radio commercial from cingular that mentions every holiday known to man in their ad?

  it's funnier than hell.

  it's sung kinda like adam sandler's "happy hanukkah" song.
