  yesterday i drove passed a town a couple of hours from my home and saw this kh under construction.

  this is the first new design kh i've seen in washington state even though i would think by now another one or two have been built.

  maybe not with their financial situation being the way it is.

  So is this the new design they came up with? When they revamped the RBC?

  Perhaps in more populous regions, corners, they will have the all-glass entrance, ATM machine look added.

  styrofoam/foam and it's lightweight and easy to move - cost effective. Very toxic to work around and they wear hazmat-protective clothing - face masks.

  Not Knocking wt here. New Scientist or BBC just had an article that has traced the new, treaty violating, secret source of The Ozone destroying chemical to the production of these foams (in China).

  This a great concrete forming material. The soft outer and inner layer stays in place. You can bang your head against the wall without being seriously hurt. In other words try to wake up JWs by the hard facts.

  This must be a joke, one way or the other, true or not.

  wt used to do anything to distinguish themselves from the churches, They still do. While The Churches build spires, this is un inspiring. It does not rain much there, but probably the flat roof has overlapping layers.

  May be this is camouflage, hoping that the 10 king (of revelation) mobs will not recognize them as religious in the final GT attacks.

  would be interesting to hear about the European experiences. it appears that many victims of nazi persecution, Jews in Eastern Europe, conscientious objectors, were not treated as heroes either, although they were supposed to have done the right things, by all counts.

  what was the 14 point program please I have not heard of that.?

  please do your research, it is probably well hidden, (and will be disputed) but roughly:

  Wilson wanted to squelch future European conflicts and demanded that no frontier adjustment, reparations, penalties would be included in the peace agreement. The fight after all was among related royal families, cousins, blame for the start disputed.

  He was bamboozled by his generous hosts, and heavy penalties, territorial losses, imposed on the losers. Reversing (rightly) the Brest-Litovsk "treaty", for example.

  WW2 was a revenge against the failure to heed Wilson's warnings.

  Similarly, somehow American aid was loosely linked to freeing the colonies (after all, the US was a power that had shaken off a colonial rule). Again there was reluctance to follow the US lead, terrible "end the colonialism" wars had to and were fought in Indochina, Algeria, the Congo, Kenia.

  just my take on these development, having had to suffer through the tail end of it all.

  To all Australian Elders,C.O's ect...Be warned!!!

  after the conviction of arch bishop phillip wilson for concealing sex abuse in the church and cardinal pell"s trial getting underway.. this leaves it wide open for the victims to seek redress.. if you are taken to court expect the wts to through you under a bus and wipe their hands of any blame.. if you think putting your assets in a trust or transfering them into your wife,childrens name...to late any lawyer will argue you only did that to stop any victim seeking redress.. i think the victims will all ready be contemplating their course of action and don't be surprised if court action is not far away.. karter..

  Let's hope this makes them nervous, very nervous.

  Yes !! In every way, not just hiding child rapists. Elders should be aware that they will be held personally responsible for any wrong action. We here are sure it is not "divine" justice coming , but the prospect of any and all misdeeds will one day to come and haunt them is good news.

  Waton, numeracy is being "literate" with numbers.
  Numerology is some nonsense where numbers have some kind of mystical significance.

  thank you. surely, we must not ignore the most important aspect of Numbers that is measure reality, even the concept of Zero, that eluded wt chronology for a while.

  WW2 could have been averted had his 14 point program was put in place instead of the Versailles Treaty.

  It is said that you do not understand a theory if you cam not express it in numbers. So: By the way: what is the difference between Numeracy and Numerology?

  There is great stuff in astronomy that is not directly linked to outworking of laws:

  The bode "law"

  http://www.sciforums.com/threads/doing-the-numbers-on-no-1.160798/

  The beauty of numbers in astronomy is, that it is an exact science, and facts behind the data are in existence since millions of years. hard to fudge.

  today a large article was published in a dutch newspaper 'dagblad van het noorden'.

  it is about frank huiting, the reclaimed voices foundation and the adopted motion in parliament.

  the branch office has given a reaction:.

  But even 301 cases of whatever kind of abuse, waton, need to be investigated (and I doubt that most are statutory rape or voyeurism).

  absolutely, and details publicized, perhaps the best way to deter any and all act out their drive, and harm more.

  And bring back the death penalty, that wt advocates even for whole families in their Armageddon doctrine.
