  Thats is what they forget. I agree.

  What will happen with the wall paintings. Can they scratch them off the walls? Will the new owners

  overpaint the witness paintings. Or a the paintings transportable?

  BTW Comparision: Hagia Sophia in Constantinopel was not only dedictated to the Logos, wisdom of God, its construction

  took longer than a JW complex (537 until 1453), but it was longer in use than the latter. church, mosque ...

  It even served as inspiration for islamic osmanic mosque. even for another monotheistic religion!

  So this church is not only witness for God but for cultural development too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia

  For what would NY Bethel or other branch offices be witnesses in the future ? not to forget:

  in order that conservation and constant repairs could somewhen pay off ?

  The best rentable fabric of the 20th century?

  The highest tower where the most fear of armageddon or a tsunami was held?

  Proposed Apostate takeover campaign

  fictional apostate takeover campaign.

  stage #1.. what if in a town that had a particularly large amount of apostates and ex-jw's, over a period of a few months, they started going to a small congregation.

  either pretending they were bible studies or just returning jw's, they got good standing in the congregation, priveleges etc.

  When the WT branches are closed or selled .. how much cultural value for the witnesses gets lost too.
  So many efforts, hours, joy of happiest people invested are somehow wasted.
  in 100 years nobody will make sightseeing tours in New York Bethel, will there be brasses
  Cultural change.

  noah, my movie review.

  like many of its critics, you think you know what you're going to see and .

  The Witnesses should finance such film productions to show them as dramas on their conventions. People would like to go to the conventions as much as to the cinemas and they would understand (hopefully and finally) that the whole bible is a dramatic tale, written words are a kind of art too. They would understand what they pay for. Of course with live orchestral music it would be in any case more impressive. What a dramatic epic event on a convention this would be.

  Jesus had to die? Really?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i admit i no longer believe in god and holy books.. thinking of the made up 'universal sovereignty' thing, surely if god existed in the way the holy books describe him then he could have thought of something better than humankind suffering thousands of years and the slaughter of jesus?.

  couldn't god have said: 'well, satan is a very naughty boy but you all know how great i am so we can end it now.

  i will lovingly kill satan and his mates and that's that.

  Last Sunday Pope Francesco said:

  there was a sister in my congregation that signed up to aux pioneer one month to put in 60 hours.

  we couldn't figure out why she was never at the arrangements, but yet she said she got in her time early in the month.

  we found out later that we wrote a letter that took her an hour.

  so what do you think will be the new releases this year?

  it seems from everything that has been happening that there will be a new and revised reasoning book to embrase all the new 'adjustments'.

  also, the proclaimers book has to revamped to take out all the things that honor russell or rutherford, after all they weren't annointed anyway.

  I think .... several booklets or at least one book will be release which can be entitled "Thy Kingdom Come"There are many effects of this coming of the kingdom to be studied, how the kingdom since 1914 worked,
  and what will be the future of this kingdom.

  A fine film with a drama about the missionaries which are doing a god job in the whole world.

  "We are loyal to your kingdom" could be the public talk for book release.

  A good explanation for the book of revelation is given in "Revelation" by the southamerican theologians Catherine and Justo Gonzales, published 1997.
  Perhaps anyone posesses an exemaplar or has access in a library?
