DUMBO Through a Keyhole

1.

We just put a down payment on a jcondo. I took quite a few pics of the construction site and also of the interior models in the sales office. Grohe faucets, wohooo!

Great pics, but I hope you checked out the windows on this place. The building is in the loudest (and I mean loud) part of DUMBO. I looked at a building over there, further away from the bridge and it was damn loud. Now if you facethe other direction with good windows..... good luck the location is nice (start moaning about DUMBO now) but I am not sure I could get much sleep with the racket.

Can't imagine noise will be a big problem on the 32nd floor. I live on the 30th floor of my building with old, cheap, crappy windows, and except for the howling of the wind whenever there's a storm, I hear almost nothing. Only the occasional siren of an ambulance from a nearby hospital is really audible, and even that is not loud enough to be very annoying (I'm a light sleeper, and have never been awakened by extrenal noise). Of course, I don't live right on top of a major bridge, so you never know.

5.

Yeah who knows that high up. But I have to say at street level right there, I cannot hear the sirens the bridge sounds are so loud when a train passes over. Also after lviing there you probably would get used to it.

J Condo will have triple glazed windows, so the noise shouldn't be a problem. Train passings should be a soft hum.

Danny posted the same three comments attacking the Watchtower.

Danny Haszard's #1 goal in life is to attack Jehovah's Witnesses. Do something more postive in your life, Danny Boy.

To #10 above: All the whining Jehovah does is stalk Danny Haszard's postings around the web,get a life U whining hovas

The Jehovah Witness Watchtower cult is a big money life destroyer. The cult practices mind control to keep the members in line and deliberately breaks up families. The cult is big money (billion a year) and donates nothing to charity. The cult causes death from its bogus blood ban and also causes members to commit suicide. Protect your family and your community by warning people about this cult. Christian Peper

The watchtower cult must be stopped from destroying more lives. Please warn your neighbors about this deadly cult.

The Danny Haszard Cult now has a few followers.
Danny has adopted the universal cult-leader stance of presenting himself as both a victim, and a type of savior showing the way to salvation. He is of course successful with only those who reject an honest investigation and give themselves over to the control and teachings of someone who teaches hate.
These traits, of being a victim and a leader intensely interested in saving others, are of course at the very essence of Cults and their delusional leaders.
Though offering a pretense of help, however, his offering lacks conciliatory and genuine assistance to Jehovah's Witnesses, fellow "victims" for whom surely he must hold some kind of good intent.... But, no, he sadly and pathetically just tries to create separation and anger, tries to divide families, tries to destroy happiness, and teaches a withdrawing from and a rejection of the accepted freedoms of speech of our society.
He suppresses the truth in favor of his own vitriolic hate. His efforts are reflective of a perception of personal grandeur and a fixation on his own self-worth.
Also a trait of Cult leaders, Danny lacks the fortitude and purpose in life to accomplish good for himself and others without needing the adulation of others he can dupe. Cult leaders need to build their own self-esteem and to feed their own personal aggrandisement, and to strengthen their own wobbly beliefs by grasping for the approval of followers. Anger is so often a front for fear and weakness. It is the weak person, usually accompanied by weak reasoning, who turns from truth and uses anger and fear as a motivator. Those similarly inclined or susceptible become followers of cult leaders like Danny Haszard.
Instead he has actually made himself more of a slave to the Watchtower than he ever was as a member - he is addicted to his fears and anger, addicted to attacking, delusional as to the success of his efforts to tear down the faith of others, and uses hate as a tool to appeal to those similarly lacking in faith, or honesty, or dignity, or self-worth, or personal esteem.
Remarkably his entire purpose in life in now linked to the Watchtower. Again, apparently,more than it ever was as a member.
This cultish behavior includes efforts to drawing off a following for himself....He has set himself up as an authority figure who works hard to attract followers.
This is the new Danny Haszard Cult.

Right on, James!

I love it! "The Danny Haszard Cult!" I wonder if he ever truly was one of Jehovah's Witnesses . . . I mean if he ever was really dedicated . . . in his heart.

17.

Excellent post James! How do I join Danny's cult? I don't see a membership form anywhere. Danny has far more interesting things to say than a silly jealous bitter fool like you. Put a cube of Jehover the big fool in yer coffee! Go Danny!

James, you might want to check out this excerpt from www.howcultswork.com because the long post you just made about Danny Haszard seems to coincide very nicely to cultish character assassination:

Guilt, Character Assassination and Breaking Sessions. Guilt will be used to control you...
Character Assassination is used to help create the guilt in you. Character Assassination is a type of false reasoning used by people and groups who have no real arguments. The technical name for Character Assassination is "The Ad hominem Fallacy".

Oh, no! Now we have "The Brenda Lee Cult" too! (Or maybe she's already part of Danny's group.)

20.

I was born and raised a JW, and know how manipulative they can be. Yes they are a destructive cult, and they have caused alot of damage in their members lives, especially children raised in it.

21.

Why are so many Jehovah's Witnesses trolls STALKING Watchtower whistle-blowers JW's are just like scientologist.

Christian_Peper in a child molester and a proponent of adults having sex with children. You can see his own words for yourself. They are all over google. Just google his name. On Topix.xom- to catch a predator he says he thinks people should ignore the legal age of concent and just do what feels right. And that oral sex with 2nd and 3rd graders should be taught so he can enjoy exploring their sexually developing bodies with them. These are his own words. They are there for the world to see. Topix.com0 to catch a predator.}}}}}}}}

Internet vigilantes have been engaged in an organized and illegal campaign to slander my name. They have been hard at work putting words in my mouth (sometimes posting in my name on anonymous boards), slandering me, and quoting me out of context.

My supporters will be pleased to know that I am working hard (and will never stop working hard) to lower the age of sexual consent to puberty to increase the safety and lawfulness of sex. I will also continue to promote safer sex alternatives so that less youth contract HIV / AIDS. In addition, I will also continue to expose organizations that promote the true abuse of children.

Unlike those that defame me I am not an internet vigilante that pretends to be a savior of the children but really accomplishes nothing but slander and defamation of true heroes like myself.
