  Sales of Watchtower headquarters could total $1.2 billion, real estate pros predict

  by MaybeSo in

  we 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.

  Sorry for the occasional unintentional 'dislike'

  by paul from cleveland in

  2. suggestions

  i read this forum on my phone so occasionally, as i'm scrolling down the page, i accidentally touch the 'dislike' button on a comment.

  i don't have the option to 'undislike' after i touch it.

  once i touch the button, i can't change it.

  So if a post gets a lot of dislikes, is it 'flagged'? I thought the 'flag' was only to report violations.

  I read Tolkien through each year from 1970 to 1980. Wonderful books. The movies were actually well done, so I am glad so many people have been introduced to him through film.

  when was the last time anyone recalls hearing the word 'remnant', in meetings or conversation?

  is it something still discussed?

  [i haven't attended in 20 years, so no idea].

  Remnant essentially referred to the remaining pre-1935 anointed whose number was dwindling through the 60's to 80's. They are all dead now practically, incidentally proving the doctrine to be a joke.

  NWT 2013

  by truthlover in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the old nwt contained a byline that indicated westcott and hort was used in the translation of this bible.

  (they are not mentioned in the 2013 release) but you and i both know that their wordings in scripture remain in the new release.. if you check their background, you will find some serious issues with these translators which the society used.

  has anyone googled wh for their spiritual qualifications to include them in the nwt??

  W & H is not a translation, so the question in the OP is not clear to me.

  You a right X it is Surah, not Surat that the 'books' of the Quran are called.

  I waded through it about ten years ago. It's a lot like reading the Psalms twice, three times, ten times in a row. One Surat is much like another. At least the one I had contained a lot of footnotes that explained the historical references that made it more interesting.

  Two Year Delay in Building New KHs - What Is the Real Impact?

  by committeechairman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  where are all these kingdom halls that were going to start being built?

  the rbc arrangement was officially announced as an arrangement that was ending in the united states branch territory in a letter on january 24, 2014 (although this letter is no longer listed on jw.org).

  this means that 23 months have passed since the announcement of the ldc taking over and "acceleration" of kingdom hall builds.. what has happened in the meantime with kh construction?

  The entire KH land grab is based on the continual building with volunteer labor, sell off the property after a decade or two, then repeat. With a moratorium on building, the whole process is at a standstill. The entire purpose of the land grab is thwarted until the building of KH's is resumed.
