Kungekudala abantu baseBrooklyn bafuna indlela entsha yokuchaza ixesha Kuthekani ukuba abantu abangama-3 000 bashiye ummandla wama-22,000 bonke ngaxeshanye kwaye akukho mntu waqaphela?
Buza nawuphina umhlali waseBrooklyn Heights kangangexesha elide ukuba babewajonga kangaphi amaNgqina kaYehova, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuphendula bathi, Yonke imihla.
Kodwa ke, ukuba ubunokumbuza kwalomntu ukuba, ngenxa yeli nqaku, mangaphi amaNgqina kaYehova abonakale emizini yabo ukuba abanike ikopi yeeleta zeMboniselo aze abangenelele kule nkolo, loo mntu unokuncuma ngolwazelelelo kwaye yithi, Hayi. Akunjalongo noko.
EBrooklyn Heights, ukubonwa kwamaNgqina kaYehova kuye kwaba yinto eqhelekileyo ngaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka kwaye akukho namnye ohlala ebumelwaneni ngoku onokukhumbula ixesha laxa ezo ntlanganiso zakha zabandakanya indawo yokufuna abantu nangaluphi na uhlobo — nto leyo engaqhelekanga xa ucinga ukuba iBrooklyn Heights Ikhaya nje kwinani elikhulu labafundi be-Watchtower, ngokwenene yiKomkhulu lehlabathi lecawa.
Xa umntu ecinga ngeBrooklyn Heights, imifanekiso yeThe Promenade, brownstones, iintsapho ezimi kakuhle ziye zithi qatha engqondweni kunye nee-visa zabemi abadumileyo abanjengoTruman Capote, uNorman Mailer noTom Wolfe. Umntu usenokude acinge ngeendawo ezimbini zobumelwane ezizimeleyo ezizimeleyo okanye ikhaya eliyintsomi lendlu eHuxtable kwisithandwa seCosby Show.
Eli lihlomela lokuqala laseMelika.
Ke ngoku kwenzeka njani ukuba iBrooklyn Heights ibe yiVictoria kwenye yezona zikhula ngokukhawuleza kwaye zaziwa (ukuba ziyacaphukisa) emhlabeni? Ngokukodwa njengoko ubukhulu becala ubumhlophe kwaye ubundlobongela obugqityiweyo bukwazile ukunqanda inguquko yehipster yeendawo ezinjengo Williamsburg kunye ne Borough Park, abamelwane bayo emantla nasemazantsi kunye nekhaya elidumileyo labantu abakholwayo abahlala ngaphandle kwemigaqo yoluntu. Kungenxa yokuba kuqikelelwa kuma-3 000 amaNgqina kaYehova (okanye i-JW's ngokwengingqi) ahlala kwaye asebenza kwinkonzo yecawa eziphakathi, oko akuthethi ukuba bagqamile njengabazalwana babo abanentiyo emnyama.
Awunokwazi ukuba umntu uliNgqina likaYehova ukuba ujonge nje, kuvuma uJane McGroarty, umongameli weBrooklyn Heights Association. Ewe, inzalelwane kwiiNdawo eziphakamileyo inokuthi ikwazi ukubona ukuba amabhanti ayo aphakame kancinci, wongeza ngokuhlekisa, ebhekisa kwisitayile se-nerd-chic esithanda kakhulu abalandeli bam be-Watchtower
Kodwa inokuba yintoni ifuthe xa olu luntu lunyamalele kwiminyaka embalwa okanye amashumi eminyaka? Kuthekani ukuba akuyonto konke konke?
Ngelixa ii-JWs ezidume ngokungathandabuzekiyo zingasayi kuthi, njengezinye izinto ezininzi ezingumama ngazo, zithi xa bemka, kuyinyani yokuba ekugqibeleni, abalandeli abaqikelelweyo be-3,000 ngoku abahlala kwiipropathi zecawe kulo lonke elumelwaneni kungekudala baya kufudukela kumaziko amatsha , ezixabise umbutho uqikelelwa kwizigidi ezili-11.5 zeedola, kwidolophu ekumantla eWarwick, kufutshane neWalkill apho, ukongeza kwimizi-mveliso yezolimo neyokwenza imveliso, uninzi lomsebenzi wokushicilela sele usekwe kwakhona.
Kule veki iphelileyo, IMboniselo ibeke iipropathi ezintlanu kwiindawo eziphakamileyo kwintengiso, ingqokelela yeendawo zokuhlala ezidolophini kunye namagumbi abamelwane ababesazi ukuba azakufika kwintengiso kangangexesha elithile. Icawa yaqala ukuthengisa kakhulu kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo, iguqula nje ngaphezulu kwekhulu lembali kwiZiqithi, isusela emva xa umshumayeli wasePittsburgh uCharles Taze Russell efika okokuqala kunxweme lwaseBrooklyn. (Wamisela iindawo eziphakamileyo, ngokufikeleleka kwazo lula kuMlambo i-East River, ukuze ibe yindawo efanelekileyo yokwabiwa komsebenzi wobomi bakhe, IMboniselo Iphepha leendaba.) Kule minyaka idlulileyo, amaNgqina kaYehova aye afumana indawo yokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba ekwisigidi seedola ezingama-600 ukuya kwisigidi seerandi. Yintoni eya kuba yiyo emva kokuba bemkile iya kuyila ubumelwane entliziyweni yaseBrooklyn kakhulu kunakuqala kwicawa.
Ukutyelela izindlu zedolophu ezisandul 'ukudweliswa zoBukumkani bukaYehova eBrooklyn >>
Ndiyakwazi ukungqina ubunyani beli lodwa lahlukile, kwaye ndiyavuma ukuba ngamalungiselelo angaqhelekanga njengoko ndakhulela eThe Heights, ngqo ngaphesheya kwePromenade (apho bahlala khona abazali bam), ngekona kwiklabhu ye-ur-social / racquet I-Heights Casino ( apho usapho lwam luhlala lungamalungu), kunye neebhloko ezintathu ezimfutshane ukusuka kwiSikolo iSaint Ann kwiSitalato iClinton kunye nePierrepont, endiye kuyo iminyaka eli-12. Andizange ndicelwe lilungu lecawa okanye ndide ndicele indlela, ngaphandle kokuba ndiyazi ukuba ukuhamba ezantsi kweColumbia Heights nangaliphi na ixesha ngqo ngaphambi okanye emva kwentsimbi yesine ngeentsuku zeveki kuyakundibeka ngqo kwindlela Ukubethabethana ngobunono kwee-JW okubangelwa kukuhamba ngenjikalanga emva kotshintsho kwindawo yokushicilela ye-Watchtower ezantsi kweSquibb Hill, eyaziwa ngokuba ngabantwana basekuhlaleni njengoGreen lukaYehova.
Kunqabile kakhulu ukubona amaNgqina kaYehova engena kwindlu ngendlu eguqula ukholo lwawo eBrooklyn Heights, umsebenzi athe aba yingxaki kuwo wonke umhlaba. Kwaye ngelixa isivumelwano esingekho mthethweni nabahlali singunobangela wale meko igcina umgama oxabisekileyo phakathi kwezi zimbini, loo mgama uza nendleko kubumelwane njengoko ii-JW phantse zingaze zisebenzisane namashishini endawo kwaye ngenjongo ayikhuthazi intlalo- ubudlelwane bezoqoqosho noluntu.
Le nyaniso ubukhulu becala ngumsebenzi wenkqubo yenkolo elandelwe yi-Mboniselo, ezibonayo yona kunye namalungu ayo ngaphandle kwegunya likarhulumente kwaye, ukongeza ekuxolelweni kwirhafu, ke ngoko ikhetha ukungasebenzisani nabamelwane okanye amashishini ayo kunye nabahlali. . Kananjalo, ii-Heights kunye nabemi bayo abagcwele ukungakhathali ngovuyo bayabahoya abamelwane babo benkolo, okoko nje bengabangeneleli. Icawe ide ifikelele ekufumaneni zonke iimpahla zayo kunye nokutya kwipropathi enkulu yeWatch Tower eseWalkill. Olu lwalamano, kodwa ulwalamano olungenasiphelo lishiya umntu obukeleyo enombono wokuba ubukho be-Watchtower kwiindawo eziphakamileyo bungaphezulu ngokomoya kunokwasemzimbeni.
Abachithi mali apha, utshilo uChris Calfa, ongumnini-mnini weLassen & Hennig's Delicatessen, indawo ebumelwane ebisenza ushishino kwindawo enye yaseMontague Street ukusukela ngo-1939. Andiyiboni indlela [IMboniselo] Ukuhamba kunokuba kubi kuthi. Ukuzisa abantu abatsha abaza kuchitha imali, yinto entle leyo kuthi.
Ekuhambeni kwexesha, izakulunga kubumelwane, utshilo umrhwebi wezindlu osebenze kunye nepropathi yokuhlala eBrooklyn Heights ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20. Abahlawuli iirhafu zedolophu kwaye abantu babo abayisebenzisi imali ekuhlaleni, ke olu tshintsho ngokuqinisekileyo luya kuzisa izinto ezilungileyo kuloo nto.
UNks. McGroarty uyavumelana nolo luvo lokuba zonke iipropathi zabo ziya kuba yinto eyenye, kwaye ngelixa singazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba iyakuba yintoni, ungacinga ukuba uninzi lwayo luya kuba yindawo yokuhlala. Ummelwane uza kuziva uxinekile ngaphandle kokubuza. AmaNgqina kaYehova, watsho, aphila ngokukhanya.
Nangona kunjalo, ngelixa ibinganxibanga okanye isike ukusika okubandayo, iMboniselo ichithe imali eninzi ekuhlaleni, ithenga iipotifoliyo ezahlukileyo nezixabisekileyo zepropathi engingqini, ebandakanya iPromenade ekufutshane nezindlu zedolophu, ezimbini ezidumileyo iihotele ezindala, kunye nenani elinomtsalane lecawe apho icawa yakha khona iindawo zokugcina ezinkulu kunye nomzi mveliso apho IMboniselo yaveliswa, yashicilelwa yathunyelwa ukusuka kwiminyaka emininzi.
Ixabiso lazo zonke izinto eligciniweyo laqikelelwa ukuba likwizigidi ezingama-600 zeedola xa IMboniselo yaqala ukubhengeza injongo yayo yokufuduka ngonyaka ka-2003, ithengisa indawo yayo eyayithumela iimpahla emazantsi eAtlantic Avenue kwakuloo nyaka ngezigidi ezili-120 zeedola. Ipropathi ngoku yiBrooklyn Bridge Park, uphuhliso lwekhondomu eyakhiwe ngolindelo lokumilisela iprojekthi yepaki entsha enegama elifanayo ekhula kwizikhululo zorhwebo zangaphambili ezisuka kwibhulorho ziye kwiAtlantic Avenue. Ngaphandle kwemali encinci, i-warehouse-Turn-condos iyanceda ukuxhasa ipaki ngeyona rhafu ingeniso icawe isikhanyele isixeko iminyaka.
Isikimu esinye siyakusetyenziselwa ukuxhasa ngemali ipaki xa kuthengiswa yonke indawo yokugcina impahla. Iminyaka, abahlali balwe nophuhliso lwe-condo epakini, besoyikela ubungcwele beembono zabo zePromenade. I-JW's inokuba iphinde yahlangula kwakhona, emva kokuba uSenator kaRhulumente u-Dan Squadron enze isivumelwano kunye nosodolophu wezakhiwo ezihlaziyiweyo zokufaka irhafu epakini, isivumelwano esinokubangela ukoyikisa uluntu ngenye indlela, njengoko Kungathetha ukuba amawaka abantu abaninzi ngakumbi nangakumbi ngabahlali kunokuba ii-JWs zibe yinxalenye yeziNduli.
Nangona kunjalo zizindlu zeedolophu ezinabanini bamakhaya abaninzi abaxhalabileyo. Uloyiko lwasekhaya malunga nokuchaphazeleka kwamaxabiso ezindlu nemihlaba luye lwachaphazeleka xa icawe yagqiba kwelokuba ithengise ipropathi yayo ngokwamanqanaba, igcina intengiso, kodwa ingadlali ngokuchasene nemali yeWatchtower.
Ngelixa phantse zonke izizathu zokuthatha izigqibo kwi-Watchtower zazingenakucaciswa kwezembali (lo mbutho udume ngokuba neentloni kwaye awuphendulanga ukuphawula ngeli nqaku), umbono wokuthengisa ipotifoliyo ngokwamanqanaba uye wahlangatyezwa imvume (Abakhange badinge ukuthengiswa komlilo kubonelela uNks. McGroarty), ngelixa ixesha lokuthengisa kwabo, ngexesha lokunyanzelwa kwezoqoqosho ngo-2008, liphakamisa amashiya athile.
Kodwa iMboniselo ikwazile ukuhlonitshwa ngabahlali baseHeights ngokwaneleyo ukugcina loo mashiya ephakanyisiwe ngasese, kuba uninzi lweendawo zokuhlala kunye nezincinci zafunyanwa ngexesha lokudodobala kwezoqoqosho ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1980 nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-90, ngexa iBrooklyn Heights nadir kwaye uninzi lwamakhaya amadala amahle ebewela kulungiso. Umbutho onomtsalane we-Watchtower kunye nomzi mveliso sisiseko senkolo yabo kwaye ibonakalisiwe ngokwasemzimbeni kwiipropathi abazithengileyo bazibuyisela kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo, isenza icawe ibe yinkokeli engathandekiyo kulondolozo lwengingqi.
Thatha ihotele iBossert kwisitalato iMontague, ilitye eliyimbali laseBrooklyn. Kwakuyikhaya elidumileyo eBrooklyn Dodgers ngexesha le-baseball, ukubeka abadlali iibhloko ezimbini kuphela kwiiofisi zeqela kwiNkundla naseMontague, kunye netroli emfutshane eya e-Ebbets Field. IMboniselo yathenga ihotele ngo-1988 emva kokuyiqeshisela iminyaka emihlanu. Ngexesha lokuthenga, esi sakhiwo besele siwile ngamaxesha anzima, uphahla lwaso oludumileyo lwaseMarine ladilika kwaye indawo eyayihlatywe ngobunkunkqele kuludwe olubi. IMboniselo ithathe indawo yophahla kwaye indawo yokungenisa kwakhona iphinde ibe ngumboniso omangalisayo, izinto ezanceda icawa ukuba itsale abathengi kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo.
IMboniselo ibingummelwane ohloniphekileyo eBrooklyn Heights ngokubanzi, utshilo uNks. McGroarty. Abathathi nxaxheba phantse nangayiphi na indlela, kodwa benze umsebenzi omangalisayo wokugcina iipropathi ezisweleyo, iBossert ibubungqina obungenakuphikiswa baloo nto.
Ngelishwa, amaNgqina athatha ixesha elibi lokuthengisa, kwaye ukuthengisa i-The Bossert kweedola ezingama-98 ezigidi kwehla ngo-Okthobha ka-2008 emva kokuba iinkampani ezinokuba ngumthengi zeRAL Companies kwathiwa zoyika (ngokungathandekiyo) ngamanani athengisa kancinci e-One Brooklyn Bridge Park. Njengokuba izindlu zisekhona kumhlaba ongazinzanga, ababukeleyo balumkile ngento eza kwenzeka ngoluhlu olutsha lwezintlu ezibhengezwe kwiveki ephelileyo ezibandakanya uninzi lwamatye amdaka kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezisedolophini ezinokuthi zithengiswe kwaye zithengiswe njengamakhaya osapho olunye.
Kwelinye icala ziintlanu zonke ngaxeshanye, umrhwebi wasekhaya uthe, kodwa kwelinye icala bonke bahlulwe ukuze balungele iimfuno zabo zezindlu. Banobume obuhle kodwa bafuna umsebenzi ukuze babe ngamakhaya omnye osapho kwakhona, ke abayinyani ngokwenene namatye abomdaka kwipotifoliyo yethu.
Ngelixa irhafu yengeniso kunye nenkcitho yevenkile yokuthengisa eya kuba ziindawo ezingenakuphepheka zabahlali abatsha, abangakhangeliyo kukurhweba phantse ukuba wonke umntu waselumelwaneni angabuyela ngasemva-ngaphandle kukhuphiswano oluninzi lokupaka esitratweni. Amandla eengxaki akhona, nangona. Jonga nje konke ukuxinana kwi-L emva kokuba kwakhiwe ii-condos ezintsha.
Ngokubhekisele ekuhambeni kweMboniselo kunye nabalandeli bayo, oko kuhlangatyezwana nomlinganiso othile wokungahambelani.
Ayisiyondawo yesiqhelo yeentsapho ezinabantwana, yimeko apho abantu abadala beqhuba umboniso, UNks McGroarty uthe ngabantu abasebenza kakhulu, abasweleyo kwikomkhulu le-Watchtower. Ke kunzima ukubona ukuba yintoni eza kuphulukana okanye into onokuyilindela kutshintshiselwano.
Umntu kufuneka azibuze ukuba impendulo ingayintoni ukuba ngaba umntu omnye kubo bonke abasibhozo e-Upper East Side angachola kwaye ashiye bonke ngaxeshanye. Bekungayi kuba ngaphandle kwebhokisi ukucinga ukuba uvalo oluthile luya kuhlala ngaphezulu kobumelwane. Impendulo eBrooklyn Heights ekuboneni abahlali abangama-3 000 kwabangama-22,000 bemka ichazwa ngcono njenge ‘blasé.’
Andiyiboni ineziphumo ezininzi ngenene, utsho umthengisi wezindlu.
Ingahamba ngeendlela ezimbalwa, utshilo uMnu Calfa waseLassen & Hennig's ngehlombe.
Nkqu nooBhunga weSixeko saseBrooklyn Heights, uSteve Levin, wanikela ingxelo yevanilla eyayibonakala iyinto engekhoyo kuqikelelo lwayo, esithi ngokuyinxenye ukumka [kweMboniselo] kwalapha ekuhlaleni ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kushiya ifuthe elihlala lihleli. Ukuhamba kwamaNgqina, kunye nokuqhubeka nokwakhiwa kweBrooklyn Bridge Park, kuya kuyitshintsha kakhulu imeko engingqini.
Kwangoko ngokungabonakaliyo kwaye okuyo yonke indawo, ukunyamalala kwe-Watchtower ngokungathandabuzekiyo kuya kushiya uphawu oluhlala luhleli kwikamva le-First Suburb yaseMelika. Kodwa nokuba olo phawu luya kuba lolulungileyo okanye olubi phantse akunakwenzeka ukuba uqikelele ngokwaneleyo.
Mhlawumbi nguYehova kuphela owaziyo ngokuqinisekileyo.
