  Why the move to Warwick?

  by optimisticskeptic in

  i've seen a lot of posts around and about warwick and the goings on there but was curious as to people's theories on why the move to warwick?

  granted there's the obvious point about all of the money from the sale of properties in brooklyn but for as massive as warwick is, the purchase of an apartment complex there, multiple sites and buildings i would be surprised if they had much left from all of the profits.

  so beyond a financial incentive why move?

  I also think (after seeing the infamous sprinkling of the protesters) that they feel more secure and able to "defend" their new home. No pesky protesters on their very doorstep. If people do protest, it's not in the big city where thousands may see it as opposed to the smaller amount driving by at Warwick.

  for the first time scientists have successfully reversed a naturally occurring magnetic field.

  it could have multiple implications:.

  There was a program on this years ago. They could tell by ancient pottery that the field had changed since it was made. I seem to remember reading that they thought it was close to switching a few years ago. Guess it's like Armeggedon, always coming but not here yet.

  Bringing reproach on Jehovah's name.

  i have thought long and hard about this, you know in those midnight hours.. you will probably string me alive in what i say, but here you go-.

  i feel that the jw's do have the truth.

  i do agree with the doctrines and biblical exgenesis they propound.i do feel that they have the 'truth' i do understand they are imperfect, and i think they have had to 'refine' their teachings as time has gone on-and change accordingly- i see nothing wrong with this.

  For the many years in service you've done, you have probably run into almost every religious group. They, more than likely, were taught by their parents to accept the religion as truth. How many of those say the same things you are now saying? How many did you convince to leave their religion? I'm sure you found many to be nice and you wished they would accept "the truth" that you had. But if you talked with them a few times, you would find that they couldn't see "the truth" about their religion.

  Each person has a reason why they won't leave their "truth". What is yours? Fear that god will kill you? There may be nothing after death? Only you know.

  As regards the child abuse the WT hides - remember that the Catholic Church hid this also. They didn't clean up from the inside out, it took others on the outside to do it. And when it came to light, did all of the members of this church leave because really, how could God approve of such heartless deception? No, they stuck with it and made excuses. I think that when this abuse is revealed in the WT, many will still stay and find excuses for them. After all, didn't the GB just admit they are human and makes mistakes? Thousands of the same "mistake" result in thousands of children suffering. Is that really a mistake?

  jwundubbed - I love that machine. I've thought about making a Mbria it has metal pieces that you play like an piano. But it also is like a music box which was also in the machine you posted.

  Unfortunately, my mac died and I am debating on whether to replace with mac or go to the darkside and make a pc. So all my sketches etc as well as my ability to post pictures is gone. I'm just getting back into doing art after all the wasted years of the WT. So sometime I will get something going Jayk.

  Steampunk is a world of What If? What if the world went to steam instead of electricity. Where like the Victorian age, things of everyday use were beautifully adorned as well as useful. One of my projects is a 1890 ish violin case. It's cracked down the middle so I don't feel bad about doing things to it. I've seen where people fill it with expanding foam and make it a gun case (not doing that) Possibly tea caddy or liquor case. : )

  Ratrods - those cards with the drooling eye popping driver of metal ready to explode? Guys loved them, girls did not.

  Cool. I will read that tomorrow Jayk. I plan on doing some artwork/3d stuff in steampunk. I love looking at all the twists they do with Star Wars, Wizard of Oz and mechanical bugs and and and on and on.
