WATCH: A public memorial was held in Laval Saturday afternoon in honour of Eloïse Dupuis, who died from complications following childbirth in October.

A public memorial was held in Laval Saturday afternoon to honour Éloïse Dupuis.

Dupuis, 26, gave birth in Lévis, Quebec, in mid-October but died six days later after refusing blood transfusions.

She is the second Jehovah’s Witness to have died in the province from complications following childbirth.

Beliefs held by Jehovah’s Witnesses do not permit blood transfusions, however, a Quebec coroner who is investigating Dupuis’ death and looking into whether her refusal met standards of informed consent.

Lévis police are also investigating the matter after Dupuis’ aunt, Manon Boyer, complained the Jehovah’s Witness liaison committee at the hospital pressured her niece into not accepting a blood transfusion.

The memorial, organized by Boyer, took place at the Eggspress restaurant.

The funeral for Dupuis was held Saturday in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, south of Quebec City, but Boyer and non-Jehovah Witness family members were not invited.

Rabsky buys Jehovah’s Witnesses building for $65M

69 Adams Street in Dumbo

Simon Dushinsky’s Rabsky Group is the mystery buyer behind the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ latest Dumbo deal, paying $65 million for a building near Dumbo Heights.

As part of their plans to relocate upstate to Warwick, N.Y., the Witnesses sold a four-story recreational center at 69 Adams Street to an unnamed buyer, the Brooklyn Eagle reported last month.

Property records filed with the city Thursday reveled the buyer to be Dushinsky, who shelled out $65 million to buy the 41,150-square-foot building. Rabsky also secured a $47.4 million acquisition loan from the San Diego-based BofI Federal Bank.

See an excellent comment by "Vinny" and also somebody else posted a link to the 2002 NBC Dateline program.

(Although the news about this sale was posted before, at that time there was no information as who the "mystery buyer" was. Now we know.)

This is the link to Reveal's Virtual Reality story.

In my opinion, this outstanding technology sure makes the presentation of Debbie's awful story remarkable and memorable. Watchtower officials have to be concerned that the first use of VR by C.I.R. (Reveal) was to tell about JWs and how they hide child sexual abuse through their hideous "religious" policies .

Although I stand by my suggestion that those who have a smart phone invest in a VR headset, I just knew when I started this thread the posts would be interesting and it's turning out that way. I also had a feeling that certain posters would have a lot of fun with the subject and I'm certainly not disappointed.

I can only recommend that our community not put off buying a headset, maybe a very cheap one, if you have a smart phone, just in case there is a story or stories coming out using VR technology that you might be interested in. That's all I can say right now. (A cryptic message, I know!)
