Actually it is a lot of money for here. Especially since it is just a 3-story building. Need to watch video again to see if one floor includes underground garage. For approximate US conversion, please multiply everything by 3 or 4 X.

I am starting to suspect that some well connnected 'brother' got in over his head and reached out to the branch to see if they might be interested. Pure conjecture, but will follow up. They could have constructed same building in Lublin or elsewher in depressed areas of eastern Poland for much less.

Just watched the video. They are asking for volunteers to finish the inside. Strange amount of time devoted in the video to the underground garage and automatic doors.

Need an address. Where in Wlochy is it? This is one of the next big growth areas in Warsaw.

It make no sense to buy property in Warsaw unless it is for investment purposes. They could build translation offices elsewhere/anywhere in the country for much, much less.

I'm on the ground here in Poland. I'll ask the wife if she know anything about this. She has personal direct contact with some of the big boys in Nardazyn. She was actually involved in some of the printing work here in the early days (she ran a printing company when she came into the 'truth'). She also was involved in legally establishing/getting permission for kigndom halls to be allowed here. She has a legal background.

Hey, this is me... I'm the guy on the left! =)

all these years, i've always dreaded waking up early for field service.

i'm a night owl & love to sleep late, so it was excruciating for me to have to wake up early in the mornings & go door knocking.

@Divergent: Thanks. I'll send you a pic. Wife is cool, but not a rebel (yet). If she turns, look out! She knows it is mostly BS, but still feels the need to preach the 'good' news. She would get DF'd for sure if she expressed any of her views on current WT teachings. She doesn't feel it is that important, but understands why I can't support it.

dear all,.

my health took a beating over the years with stress from various sources, not a little from the wt; and dangerous areas of work involving fumes and so on.

the arc also took its toll and i have had recently a heart attack.

Post op - find a way to reduce stress levels. Good luck - nice to be able to say that here.

Why in January? - It gets really cold here in Poland for a few months. Wondering if facial hair will help. I spend a lot of time outside.

I just did the beard thing last month. Suprise! My (JW) wife loved it. She was disappointed when I shaved it off. I might start it up again in January - I hate shaving...

How Comfortable Are The Governing Body At Headquarter After This Massive Lay Off?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

this lay off and all the child molestation lawsuits coming to a head with more lay off in the wings.

i'm sure there is a lot of concern going on among those still there.

i'm sure a lot are finding out for the first time that the governing body are all frauds by doing secure internet searches to find out just how much they been had by these villans , i think the situation could be dangerous (the possibility exist).

I've been thru a lot of layoffs in my 30+ years in the tech industry (specifically telecommunications) and it never seemed too painful for the big boys (and occasionally girls) at the top. They always seemed to find a way to land on their feet with another high paying gig in some executive position.

Unfortunately for the WT, they are not part of that club. The tech club C level exec's could reach out to their former board members/etc and find at least a temporary home that kept them living comfortably. The WT gang has only one option: circle the wagons...

Great catch Simon. reminds me of this:

Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.
