Hi cyberguy,
In fact at the beginning it was created by JW from the "outside" but after it has became an official Watchtower's association, except Hamel, the president, all the leaders of the first association were removed, and replaced by bethelites of Louvier (France) and Belgium.
Bye

to help congo dr refugees.
Letter sent to all Congregation of France, September 26th 1999.
" To all congregations of France,
Dear brothers,
According to The Kingdow Ministry (August, 1997 page 4), " reports indicate that there is only Kingdow Hall in a country which counts 568 congregations. In another country, one report indicate one of for 129 congregations. Somewhere else, proportion is of on Hall for 41 congregations. In several other countries which count on the whole more than 1 000 congregations, it was not possible to build even only on Kingdow Hall, because of economic difficulties ". How is it today ?
It is possible for the brothers of France to express their solidarity with their brothers and sisters, in the need, by bringing them a material and spiritual help as in the urgent situations as in the other occasions.
The Aidafrique association can so bring food, medical and material help to the populations of Africa within the framework of an urgent situation and also to support our companions the most deprived within the framework of our work of education on this continent.
Indeed, our work of biblical education is often considered, rightly , as being of public utility by numerous authorities in Africa.
We fight against the illiteracy and, furthermore, the goods of AWake ! Contain many subjects dedicated to the improvement of the quality of the life or the hygiene, where exist extreme conditions of poverty. Considering this support on behalf of African authorities in certain countries, this association will so be able to support several activities connected to the work of the Kingdow.
HOW TO SUPPORT THE AIDAFRIQUE ASSOCIATION ?
Every member of the congregation will be able to make on regularly basis an offering for this association. From a practical point of view, an envelope will be able to be slid in a special envelope carrying the name " AIDAFRIQUE " which will be placed near boxes of offerings of the Kingdow Hall or in the study’s home. At the moment, these envelopes are not placed because we have not yet received them, nevertheless, there is a special box near boxes of offerings where there is a label which indicates the AIDAFRIQUE association. Those that wish it will so be able to put their offerings in this box with offerings and the brothers charged of the accounts will take the contents of envelopes as well as the contents of this box on the account of the AIDAFRIQUE association.
However, it will be also possible directly to send this envelope to the AIDAFRIQUE association. Very soon, we are going to receive these envelopes with the name of the association, it will be enough to put a check inside. Only checks will be able to be sent so by the post office.
AIDAFRIQUE arranges also an account POST OFFICE ACCOUNT number of which is given to the public. Each can so freely proceed to a transfer or make a deposit in the post office according to the modalities of its choice.
NUMBER IS : ROUEN 6. 058. 33. T
The complete reference of the account is given. Only with the number which has to just been given to you, it is sufficient. This letter will be shown in the table, so, you will be able to resume the complete reference of the account . This letter will be shown in the Kingdow Hall during several weeks, in the need and in future, one will be able to communicate you this number.
We received numerous letters of companions' recognition wishing to support work in Africa. This new disposal corresponds to that described by the apostle Paul in Corinth relative to the same willingness as we can demonstrate to help our companions so that an equalization compensates at the moment.
We ask Jehovah to support this disposal and we thank you in advance for your help. We seize this occasion to assure you of all our brotherly love. "
YOUR BROTHERS AIDAFRIQUE ASSOCIATION
Somme comments:
The rank and file believe that they helped ONLY their brother and those who want to study the Bible.
This letter is scandalous because Aidafrique show to the worldky authorities that it provide humanitarian's help but the real issue of this association seems to be the "Kingdow's work".

Hi path,
well the other statistics that JW provided have not more cases, for example the celeb 1993 statistics deals with 1250 cases of JW.
Even if we divided this rate by three, thinking that in 800 others cases there would be no more JW's death, it is still 12 times higher than in general.

Hi lee,
Have you read my post that in France the official of Watchtower have recognized to doctor that there are 15 cases of needed translation among french's jw by year ?
If we applied this on a worldwide range, it makes 670 cases of needed transfusion by year by the JW's official own word.
You will noticed that the french's suprem court has recognised that a french's doctor who provide a transfusion to a witness in emergency has not make a professionnal's fault:
The links in french: (if someone has the capacity to translate it in english ?)

According to an online newspaper from Africa, in Congo, there was in October a young girl who died for refusing transfusion:
