jwsurvey posted a pic of the wt.org store in France

That building looks like something you would find in the Vancouver,B.C. Eastend. Why would an organization of such a high calibre chose to locate there?

emeth

because there was a special event last year

It looks like an open today, closed tommorrow establishment. I thought Rouen was a major cathedral city. It shows up in a lot of British/French history. Monet painted a lot of Rouen, did he not? Well, they are not attracting upscale college educated people.

The more they expose themselves...the greater the risk of the "truth" about them being known!

Note ;..they are neighbours to aTABAC bar these are the only places in france where you can purchase tobacco products. So plenty of smokers to frown upon and plenty of ciggy butts to sweep from their shop front .I wonder who gets that duty ?

What a waste of corporation's assets how do they every expect to turn a profit with their dismall record of printed material that has already given us many end of the world dates that never materialize, so that they have to resort to disfellowshipping those that don't get on board with the latest faithful and discreet slave's understanding of the bible. They are headed towards finacial collapse if they don't come out with some good money making ideas that don't invovle invisible deities and more end time speculations.

This religion has already seen its hayday back before the internet was around(when ignorance was bliss), they are floundering in the information age.

Damm! I was in Rouen, France in September 2012. It is a very beautiful city with a lot of historical/religous/cultural sites to visit instead of entering that store. I hope no one but JWs visit that store.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

Alexander, project manager in a transport company and volunteer on duty , with another five that day , explains the concept of the place: "We took the Armada to publicize the website of Jehovah's Witnesses . It is now translated into hundreds of languages. We realized that many people now have Internet and were achievable in this way then . " So, on the site, the Bible is fully transcribed with tabs to access the different Gospels and their chapters.
