  I am liking the anonymous DA letter idea - sent to the local BOE.

  Include some personal hints e.g. mentioning something specific about the elders so the elders will all feel obliged to read the letter.

  I can see this would be a particularly insidious and destructive weapon.

  Because they would feel obliged to read the letter to look for clues, the elders would unwittingly be exposing themselves to the reality of the WTS. Some may even be prompted to go online and look for themselves.

  It would also continually play on their minds because they would perceive there was an apostate in their midst, but not know who this was, and this would create uncertainty and also keep the contents of the letter in their minds.

  They would be trying to work out who in the congregation sent it. They will be looking at everyone suspiciously.

  It would be subtle. Very subtle.

  I like this idea a lot.

  maksutov: Cool - even those who are already disfellowshipped or disassociated could join in with that.

  Could even mail more than one congregation ;)

  Good idea.

  You could even call it 'Armageddon'.

  At least this would actually happen ;)

  Interesting. That would have been expensive.

  In an effort to relocate their main headquarters from Brooklyn to Warwick New York, the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society required a temporary construction facility to provide 65 dwelling units, general offices, construction shops, storage, kitchen and dining areas. This unique adaptive reuse required a 206,000 square foot expansive renovation of a classic International Style building originally designed by Wank, Adams & Slavin Associates as a corporate research facility for the International Paper Company. All alterations prioritized the preservation of the building’s original historic character which included the stress on volume rather than mass, regularities and the avoidance of architectural decorations, which are features typical of the International Style. In addition to the unique aesthetic parameters of the project, the function of the facility was equally critical. The Jehovah’s Witnesses’ everyday way of life and operations were intricately incorporated into the concept to make all operations efficient while maintaining their goals and ambitions. These specialized constraints resulted in standards beyond building code regulations with respect to safety, accessibility, interior environment and efficiency.
  

  Ugly ugly ugly building though :/
  

  Like something out of Communist Russia.

  Ok, I'm trying to make sense of the figures...

  Although I can't see it explicitly stated, it appears the "Investment Detail" section is shown in $ thousands.

  ADOBE SYS INC --- ADBE --- 90 000 --- 5 552 10 --- 61 69

  90,000 (shares) x 61.69 (share price) = $5,552,100 (which is shown as 5 552 10)

  Adobe are currently trading at 83.13 so if the fund owns 90,000 shares means that this one line alone is worth $7,481,700 which supports my calculation above.

  This would mean this is in fact a $3.4bn portfolio.

  However, the figures don't tally with the figures reported on the first pages and it suggests to me that WT own 0.1% of this portfolio and that their total investment in this fund is $3.4m

  This likely also explains the anomaly in how the figures have been presented in the "Investment Detail" section, such that WT own $5,552.10 of a total of $5,552,100 invested in Adobe.

  So WT would actually own 90 Adobe shares, not 90,000.

  Note that none of this negates the principle of what he is saying.
