    What's the name of that theatre they bought and renovated, the one with the sky and the fake buildings on the side of the theatre room?

    But it is in New Jersey, not in Brooklyn

    Yes, it's in New Jersey. Jersey City to be exact. About 5 minutes from the Holland Tunnel into Manhatten.

    I took a tour there once and they did a great job refurbishing it i must admit. It's like your back in the 1920's or something. Elegant would be the word.

    Which is the building they own with Gargoyles on it - you know those Demon type things ? Is it the Bossart Hotel?

    Yes, it is the Bossert. The building has historical value so they had to leave them there. The WTS has made enough enemies in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood by destroying historical architecture. It can be any different than the Babylonian(?) symbols on an older assembly hall in NYC.

    So there he beheld the "pleasantness of Jehovah." To him Jehovah was no ugly god like the grotesque gargoyles on Roman Catholic cathedrals or like the horrifying, fierce-looking idols seen at the entrances of pagan temples or inside them.

    Brooklyn Heights Press. "A former Jehovah's Witness said there may be a small scandal over the architecture of the Bossert Hotel. The top of the Hotel is lined with gargoyles, and this goes against Watchtower beliefs. Gargoyles are suppose to keep away evil spirits, and the Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in superstitions, said the ex-Witness. Apparently the gargoyles cannot be removed because of the building's landmark status," (May 18, 1989, p. 11).
