  then comment it on this 'remarkable work', but it will never be displayed by the watchtower again .... _______________________________.

  I don't think so, the Kinetophon of Thomas Edison, example from 1912:

  Transfusion Experience from France

  by Bells in

  long story short - my in-laws know that i strongly disagree with their blood doctrine.

  i received 3rd degree burns as a toddler and without blood, i would have died.

  no doubt this is much of the reason that i feel the way i do.. my mil sent me an article, saying that i might find it of interest - in other words, it is an example to 'refute my contradictions about blood transfusions'.

  Oh yeah, this urban jw legend again. Unfortunatelly, the Toulouse Hospital was one of the last to use EPO in France, as Charlotte Casper, a hospital spokeman, has told me by mail, when i inquired about this urban legend:

  To be more precise concerning the sound, it seems, according to the book "Silent Film Sound" (pages 144-148) from Rick Altman, that the first to use phonographs synchronized (manually) with moving pictures was a man called Lyman Howe. It was exactly this technique which was used in the Drama, so Howe had used phonographs with film, but he had beginning to use it in.... 1896, 16 years before the Watchtower.

  It is possible that the 1903 film in New-York related in the Watchower, was not the french film but an american film from the Lubin Company. See page 7 of this document, you can see and advertising from Philadelphia for this film.

  It seems that "La vie et la passion de notre seigneur Jésus Christ", was one film amongst other of the same "genre", as we can see another one in 1913, called by the same name:

  http://www.cinematheque.qc.ca/fr/programmation/projections/la-vie-et-la-passion-de-notre-seigneur-jesus-christ

  Here is a description in french of this kind of film at this time:"

  http://www.cinematheque.qc.ca/en/programmation/projections/film/vie-et-la-passion-de-notre-seigneur-jesus-christ?pid=12801

  "Pendant plus de 10 ans, les Passions furent les plus longs films produits. Ils furent aussi les premiers films à plans multiples, et nous permettent donc d’y voir le développement du montage. Dérivés lointains des mystères de l’époque médiévale, les Passions ont été très populaires en France jusqu’à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, malgré leur aspect théâtral et parfois suranné. » (Bertrand Augst)"

  So, the Photo-drama was just a variation of this kind of film (religious film focused on the life of Jesus Christ), very common at this time (in France here), if we trust the Bertrand Augst explanation.

  It is clearly impossible to not have a bank account for a religious association in France if they want to pay some expense like electricity, etc...

  A simple believer cannot use his account to receive money for the association, even if the money come from the french's watchtower association. I ask myself, if it is not a problem of localisation of the association, a religious association in France must have a "territory", an area where she works. If you give money to one association, it can be used for another association by a gift from the first assocation ,if both are on the same territory, for example a city.

  All the little french jw association's are on the area of the big one, national association. So the big one association could send her money to all the others. I don't think that it is possible that an association from the North of the France could send money to one in the South.

  This is only a reflexion, but this is the only advantage for me, to change the rules like that.

  Surprising, because each religious association in France MUST have a financial report, so without a local account how could you do that ?

  braincleaned,

  I don't know what does mean exactly "a conversion sale" but the building at 2-4 Joralemon Street is better known at 360 Furmann Street. I have taked my information from here:
