On June 26, 2026, Jehovah’s Witnesses purchased a 28-hectare (69-ac) property across the lake from the world headquarters in Warwick, New York, U.S.A. The property includes an existing 40,226-square-meter (432,989-sq-ft) office building and data center formerly used by IBM Corporation. Given its proximity to the existing Bethel facilities in Warwick, this new property will be called the Blue Lake facility. It is currently not open for tours.

Jason Hohl, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in the United States, commented: “The Blue Lake facility will play a key role in support of Kingdom interests worldwide. Along with the acquisition of this new facility, we are excited to see the construction of the nearby Ramapo Media Center progressing rapidly. As Jehovah ‘speeds up’ the work in our day, we pray for his continued blessing on these exciting projects.”—Isaiah 60:22.

 

[Watchman]

Jehovah has supposedly been speeding it up for a long time, and yet everything seems to be slowing down.

 

[BARNABY THE DOG.]

“As Jehovah ‘speeds up’ the work in our day”. I thought the whole point was to bring it to a conclusion? “…..and then the end will be upon them.” Maybe the “speeding up of the work” refers to their ‘digging their own grave.’ That, I can believe.

I thought to follow Jesus you had to pick up your torture stake and follow him. Looks to me they made their own paradise on the backs of the faithful. Oh well it must be nice.

 

[Niobium]

Haggai 1:4 comes to mind.
Is it the time for you to dwell in your paneled houses?
I guess from the WT’s point of view, it is

I had the same thoughts. Their very own Eden complete with servants. Quite the retirement package. Is it me or could these be compared to bigger storehouses?

They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands. — Isaiah 65:22 Berean Standard Bible

I remember the days when I would hear this verse used to extend a hope to renters of apartments and homes, but perhaps a second look at this passage might shed some much-needed light on how the Watchtower organization's leadership has become those who inhabit while others build, and eat while others plant and cook (and clean).

Yeah like further insulating the detached criminal leadership ensconced, in their premature new world paradise conditions, from the horrors they've inflicted on the millions of duped members. This physical location is the only thing close to any kind of paradise that exists in the org and no bottom feeding members will ever get to enjoy its picturesque beauty.
For every square foot of the joint you can bet there's a corresponding member who has to drive another half hour to meetings because the kings of Warwick sold off the poor schlub's hall to bankroll this nonsense expansion project.

When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. —Matthew 6:2 New Living Translation

I take it you’re not too impressed with watchtower at this time Ken!

You got that right dear brother.
I don’t know who I dislike more right now Barnaby, them or Trump and congress in general. All equal as far as I see it.
I know we’re not to crave for the day of Jehovah but I still do.
I know that you folks in Europe are on the front lines of all this madness going on between your nincompoop government and Russia and I pray Jehovah keep you, your loved ones all the dear friends on this blog who live there safe.

It’s not too bad at present, though the government has lost control of whatever it is they do. No one knows for sure what is next. They are doing their best to bring Trump down, but from my point of view (and I am politically ignorant and totally unlettered in politics) Trump’s war against the British interests is as plain as the nose on his face and the contempt he has for Europe is wonderful to see. It’s all panic in Belgium, France and Germany. Here in Britain it’s total lethargy! We just await the next clown to walk on to the political stage! There appears to be fulfilment of scripture here in that “they do not know the way out” as spoken of in 2 Timothy 3 and certainly, unbridled hate and selfishness is coming to the fore. That things can suddenly change for the worse is a daily factor.

They've been advertising for brothers and sisters who are knowledgeable about computers and AI for some time. Now they've bought a data centre. Nuff said..
