i was looking around from some information on the wt's stance concerning the use of stem cells, and i came across this article on a defending jehovah's witnesses blog.. rather than informing the reader all that much about stem cells, the author diverts the conversation into a discussion of "blood fractions" (*note: the term "blood fractions" appears to be another one of those wt bloodspeak terms coined by the wt.
"blood components" or "blood products" are the terms used more frequently by the medical world.
"fractions" implies tiny amounts).
Weird - can't access to post on the other thread in this section?....

AndersonsInfo: ORYOL, Russia (BP) - Russia's nationwide outlaw of Jehovah's Witnesses
USA Today, 27 May 2017
Danish man arrested in Russian raid on Jehovah's Witness service
A Danish national was arrested this week during a police raid in the central city of Oryol, Russia, during a worship service by members of the Jehovah's Witnesses, which Russia recently banned as an extremist organization.
The Dane was identified as Dennis Christensen, according to a spokesman for the religious organization in New York.
Christensen (pictured below) was picked up in the raid Thursday night by Oryol police and agents of the FSB, the successor to the KGB.
The officers also confiscated a Bible, religious literature, laptops and hard drives, according to the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis.

Oh wow...yep, there is nothing culty about having EVERY word scripted!?!?
TBH, I think it's more about the quality - without a clear outline/script, a lot of chairmen often just end up waffling a bit in a mumble - a chairman needs to be clear, direct and positive to have any hope of an audience paying attention - that's true in both jw-land AND non-jw-land.
What is interesting though is how badly the script is formatted - actually it isn't formatted - the lines just run on - which means if the chairman looks up (yes novelty of some audience contact) the person often looses his place in the script.
Actually they expect the Chairman to type/write it all out themselves because there are so many [brackets] where addition information needs to be added and no room has been provided - the problem is...how many chairmen actually do type it all out....
i just received the following message from a friend this morning.. barbara.
eloise dupuis, 27 years old, died at the hotel dieu hospital in lévis, quebec, canada, wednesday, october 12th.
she died because of her religious principles.
In the Thursday 25 May 2017 edition of Le Soleil newspaper on page 6 it says that despite repeated attempts from her husband, the hospital is refusing to hand over Eloise Dupuis' medical records detailing what happened to her in hospital.
He's having to go to court to get them!

Thisismein1972: ... although this breaking news may not be exactly accurate. After all, this news organizations is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same person who owns Fox News and many more gutter news organizations.
And the chart below is from yet another Muroch outlet:
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/nature-of-the-threat-has-changed-khfjjzvh3
circuit overseers, elders, ministerial servants, pioneers and rank & file are stressed out over an ex-jw (kevin) who has visited nearly 20 congregations (orange county) and has high-jacked the opening prayers and done some effective witnessing before he is escorted to the back door.
and everything is caught on video!.
kevin is also visiting numerous jw cart locations from the los angeles area to orange county and giving a most effective wiitness at each location and they're all on video.
I believe Derek Ohare is such a person that actually is banned from KH's in the UK, but "Kevin" is a saint compared to him

ditto what konceptual 99 said
terrorists want to disrupt our lives
terrorists want us to live in fear
by continuing our normal daily activity, while remining vigilant, shows that we refuse to let the terrorists win

As konceptual99 says, it seems that the JWs are normally in the area shown in the OPs photo
below is the same area, from Google StreetView taken in November 2016 - I understand the Food Court was the location of where the suspicious package was
this is new to me.. i was always taught things like "god is everywhere".. now the folks in warwick are tearing that into shreds with their spiritual enlightenment.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/god-omnipresent/.
god is able to see everything and to act anywhere he chooses.
(proverbs 15:3; hebrews 4:13) however, the bible does not teach that god is omnipresent—that is, present everywhere, in all things.
This has always been their doctrine. They think about god as being a thing in a specific place.
Watchtower 1 October 1951, page 607
Questions From Readers: Is it Scriptural to speak of Jehovah as being omnipresent?
It is not Scriptural to speak of Jehovah as being omnipresent in the sense that the heathen do, as if he were an all-pervading spirit. He has a throne in heaven on the right hand of which Jesus sat after his ascension, but he can reach any part of his universe and extend his power there and his eyes run to and fro through the whole earth to show his strength in behalf of the perfect-hearted ones. (2 Chron. 16:9) If he were omnipresent the Scriptures would not speak of his coming and visiting the earth; he would be already here.
