  Crossword Puzzles in the Awake?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  didn't they use to print crossword puzzles in the awake?

  i vaguely remember my mother doing them, and me trying to do them when i was a small child.

  is this an accurate memory or could i be thinking of a non-jw publication.

  New releases at annual meeting??

  by _Morpheus in

  2. beliefs

  this has been mentioned in passing but it seems to deserve its own thread.. this year at the rc, no releases.

  instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event.

  what is their thinking?

  Because it gives the excitement for everyone to hear about the king of the north at the same time. This is a great marketing move. The hype is a whole lot greater than spreading it out over a year of RC’s. Now everyone can read and talk and be excited at the same time. The hype of this will be nauseating

  today's wt was a masterly study on how to manipulate the faithful's attitude to the study of facts and truth.

  in the last clam of september we have this justification of a half-truth uttered by jesus..

  joh 7:8-10 —did jesus lie to his unbelieving fleshly brothers?

  Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018

  it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.

  for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.

  very interesting times!

  Perfect timing for this since they are getting all kinds of bad publicity. Whoever is their marketing manager is is doing his job. Have the R&F be distracted from reality by having prophecy be fulfilled

  http://www.recordonline.com/news/20180904/watchtower-disputes-200k-tax-bill-from-newburgh.

  town of newburgh — the watchtower bible and tract society of new york is challenging nearly $200,000 in fire and other special district taxes assessed for three town of newburgh properties, including two hotels the organization bought to house volunteers helping build its world headquarters in warwick.. in a petition filed in orange county court last month, the umbrella organization for jehovah’s witnesses claimed that the town “either unintentionally as a mistake or intentionally and without lawful authority” miscoded the former hilton on crossroads court and the former hampton inn on route 300 for 2016, 2017 and this year.. with a combined market value of nearly $23 million, the hotel properties were not assessed town, county and school taxes for those years.

  but the town assessed $196,000 charges for the orange lake fire district and lighting and water districts during those years.. newburgh also assessed $1,600 in special district taxes over three years for a vacant commercial property watchtower owns at route 17k and route 300.. “petitioner would not be required to pay the resulting unjust charges if its exemption from taxes had been justly, correctly, and lawfully granted and administered,” watchtower’s attorneys wrote in the organization’s petition in county court.. watchtower bought the two hotel properties in 2014 as it built its 1.6 million-square-foot headquarters on kings drive in warwick.

  They save them money by not calling the police on pedofiles. Therefore they shouldn’t have to pay taxes, makes sense.
