voters are going to the polls in the netherlands in the first of three crucial eurozone elections this year.

the voter turnout might set a new record.. what do you hope will be the result?.
Dutch are known for their concensus culture. No big shocks. That's why Wilders is not in power. We like sometimes the stone in the lake he trows, but we don't trust him in power.
More a Calvinist cost / profit calculation.
The Netherlands economy has overcome the crisis of 2008. Rutte has done the right thing on meta economics, the Dutch economy is the strongest and most healty of Europe.

@Anders,
I expect you need some time getting involved in the voting proces.
Of course, it is not allways easy. And because of the JW experience, it takes some courage to be a part of "the world".
It took me some years to vote out in the open. Because i'm a fader, i expect some repercusion if "they" observe me stepping into the voting office.
I did a strategic vote this time. Not following my heart but blocking populism by giving the excelent Mark Rutte my vote.
His quote earlyer this week made a very good expression to me: "it doesn't matter how long you are living in Holland. Maybe your family lives 400 year here. Maybe you are new here. You are welcome and equel if you have a possitive attitude to the country."

I voted here in Holland, today.
What a great victory for democraty.
Rows of voters everwhere.
JW's are missing this moment, taking responsability.
Who wins, let's see. The Dutch are not crazy.

i left school at 16, because i was studying and getting the best " university education" in the world.
.
how did the theocratic ministry school benefit you?.
The TMS was a forced education during my childhood. The outcome was possitive, it gave me good skills for presentation and marketing.
Later on in life, a bachelor and master degree showed me that there is more in life đ then TMS and Awake! academy.
If you want to archive something in life, choose for the best education.

two elders who visited my friend last week encouraged her not to pursue higher studies.
it seems they are dishing out the same old stuff: âthe end is imminent, and this is the time to do more in the service; hence donât waste your resources on higher studies.â.
i wonder whether there was some official communiquĂ© (something that is sent out recently like letter to the elders, or kingdom ministry article âŠ).
They don't want smart followers. You know why!

i don't recall seeing this come up after the document regarding qcs telecom.. leasing 288 miles of dark fiber is not cheap.
in fact, it borders in the crazy.. http://www.alliedfiber.com/news/press-releases/qcstelecom-signs-20-year-lease-agreement-with-allied-fiber/.
Next to the new HQ there is the IBM Warwick office qith high speed connexions. Just across the lake.
So it is not a desert location.
G.
maybe you were considered a good example or a picture was needed.. can you give some background of the procedure?
how about the vetting?
if you cannot give away your identity, that is fine.
Gorbatchov could be seen in an official WT presentation as delegate in Moscow 1993, a picture of some delegates active making notes of the program. Gorbatchov was showed sleeping during the program, a bad example.
I was loyal and active. Our congregation was laughing seeing me in a deep rest.
