According to Brooklyn Heights Blog, the Brooklyn Eagle reported yesterday that the Jehovah’s Witnesses are preparing to sell the 80,000-square-foot Columbia Heights building known as the Standish Arms Hotel. For the last two decades, the Watchtower group has used the limestone and brick structure to house its flock. The decision is reportedly part of a larger reorganization of the property-rich organization’s holdings. All we know is these will be some expensive apartments when a developer’s done with them. How do neighbors feel about the impending change in ownership?

Eli:
Please do your research before you speak. It’s not nice to spread ignorant lies. That you should have learned in 5th grade. Anyhow hope you have a good day.
Glad the Witnesses are unloading BH properties.
No, but you are like a 5th grader.
Man, this blog is full of the biggest woozes I have ever encountered on the net.
Are you all like in Miss Henderson’s fifth grade class at Friends?
Geesh.
“I knew some southerners”
talk about a nasty bigot.
Eli, sometimes we will have a nice thread going with interesting sharing of information, which stops dead in its tracks when somebody comes out with something gratuitously nasty. In this case, it is you. Why do that?
eli,
you are a fool.
and thanks for the misinfo regarding the tunnels and child bearing.
both of which are falsehoods.

You actually knew southerners?
How fascinating.
you sound like a really well-travelled and enlightened person.
Thank you for treating us to your deep insights.
I have spoken with representatives of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society about the tunnels and catacombs myth. There are indeed tunnels, but the purpose thereof is for sharing mechanical systems between buildings. Although it is possible to walk from some buildings to others, the tunnels are not even used for that (except for maintenance staff) and will have little utility come the end-times.
I knew some Southerners who would tell me, in all ignorant sincerity, that they had actually seen the horns of another religious group. Some of the comments above made me recall those conversations.
Maps of the tunnels?
Who knows? There may be maps with the city. The JW do everything very legally. They probably had permits to dig most of the tunnels, except the very early ones.
Another little-known thing about the Heights operations is that couples are not allowed to have children. I had business dealings with the Jehovahs once and my usual contact suddenly vanished. I kept asking his replacement what happened to Bob or whatever his name was, and finally someone whipered that his wife became pregnant and so “they had to leave the world headquarters”.
