  I love the fact that the GB is becoming more visible. Why? Think micro expressions.

  micro expressions are involuntary facial expressions lasting for half a second or less.

  these facial expressions mirror a person's true emotions and so provide a window into a person's feelings in response to a statement or question.

  particular facial expressions correspond to particular emotions and the mappings are universal across cultures.

  What if the Watchtower IS part of The New World Order but not the one JWs think they are?

  for those who believe there is something to the agenda of the new world order, what do you think about jehovahs witnesses being part of this?.

  .

  do you think the watchtower organization is being monitored by the powers that be to see how compliant they can make their followers?.

  The Society brags that JWs are the best citizens of any given country.

  "a few casseroles back in 1970", that's it, really? Pathetic and sad, but very typical. The only charity I've witnessed from witnesses was when an elder called all of the congo family heads into the back school to ask for donations for a. needy family.

  so my wife goes to a high school graduation for a congregation member.

  she spends hours at the party, she has cake, she gives a very decent gift.

  she brings home leftovers from the party for me and her.

  Of course, it's assumed that there are no college plans. Why would you ask a silly question like that? She'll live at home, work at Starbucks (part-time) and support the ministry three days a week.

  Plans for huge Jehovah's HQ take shape

  by insidetheKH in

  plans for a huge jehovahs witness commune on the outskirts of chelmsford are gathering pace.. the international bible students association, the charity which manages jehovahs witnesses printing and literature distribution, wants to create a new british headquarters.. the 82-acre site (about 15 football pitches) at temple farm site, off ship road, west hanningfield.. the plans include a printery - producing bible-based literature - admin and language translation of?ces, video and sound production studios, an auditorium, training centre and workshops all on site.. plus there will be one and two bedroom apartments - for up to 1,200 residents and visitors - along with onsite caterers, laundrettes and healthcare facilities.. the site would also have its own energy centre - making it self-sufficient - and a new access road would also be built from temple wood.. a resident from stock, 60, who didnt want to be named, said: its all a bit sci-fi if you ask me.

  its a very unusual development, a commune really.

  i wouldnt say i was against it as it is all a bit of a mess at that site at the moment.. the land, currently occupied by a car breakers yard, was removed from the green belt by chelmsford city council in 2008 and earmarked for employment use.. ibsa agreed to buy the land from its current owners in december, as long as they get planning permission for the project.
