    WAKE UP my friend!

    Honestly, this is typical big demonination tactics - get the laity to build it at their expense, but you own the property.

    I wonder if they are as happy when they discover that they cannot have the bloodtransfusion needed to save their life.
    I wonder if they will be happy to meet their creator earlier than intended.

    They can sell it too. If that were to happen, then what would you do?

    Is there any other way to own title deeds then?

    Don't you think these poor people should be paid for their work by your wealthy organisation, or do you approave of this type of religious exploitation?

    Where are the children?

    I didn't see one child. How can people be happy without children around?

    Did anyone notice how doctored up the photos were. It was all too clean to be real.

    Sorry robbie.

    Your kidding right?

    People can be extremely happy without having children around.

    And do you think all Africans have to be covered in mud to be real?

    What planet do you live on? because it isn't this one.

    Maybe they had some unruly children and they were happy to get a
    break from them.

    There are a couple children in the 11th or so pic... Maybe this was during a school day which some assemblies are multiple days in length.

    ...because those who work deserve their pay. Luke10:7 (b)

    It is my view through observation and through my personal experience that many religious organisations exploit their congregations financially, either directly or indirectly.

    You really have no clue do you????? No one is told they have to help. We all do this for our love of God and for our fellow man. I know you don't understand as you are not a part of any brotherhood and you do not do the work Jesus said to do. If you did and had this in your heart, then you'd get it.
    You probably also don't get the story in the bible of the widow giving her last few coins to promote God's will do you?

    "I'm clueless..."

    "I am not part of the brotherhood..."

    "I don't do the work Jesus told you to do..."

    "I don't get it..."

    "I don't understand Jesus parables..."

    What I do see, is a massively wealthy corporation exploiting free labour to work on property it holds the deeds to.

    No, wait, you are correct I DON'T GET IT...

    It would be a great story if the punchline was:

    ...and the JW organisation were so grateful to the poor people for building the valuable real estate that it paid them minimum wage for all their hard work.

    I understand completely why people give their time and effort freely into something they believe in - that does not make a massively wealthy corporation like the JWs guiltless in taking it from them though.

    That's my assessment of the situation and of the moral position of your organisation.
