how safe is personal information when elders do not follow their instructions?.

The WT generally has a shocking disregard for privacy of personal information. GDPR aside, even in countries not subject to GDPR, they seem to have no regard for privacy.
Local congregation here (midwest US) asked for contact name and phone number of someone outside the area who might know our whereabouts if we were out of contact for some reason. Of course I refused; you would have thought I was some kind of apostate or something.
LOL
elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).
he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.
co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.
Based on my own observation last Friday (I attended one day at a convention in midwest US), the attendance was down about 15-20% from what we used to see at the same location in previous years. Admittedly Friday usually has the lowest attendance of the three days, but usually the attendance the first day was about 5500 in this location, but Friday it was 4500 and 4600 in the two attendance counts made for morning and afternoon.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Here's a thought. Suppose Morris has need of expensive medical care. The self-insured WT doesn't want to take on the cost. Morris (unique among GB members) has vet benefits available to him based on his military service. So he leaves bethel to get his medical care through the VA.
Purely speculation on my part.

A lot of empty chairs in this elderly section…
any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?
I'll be surprised if they are rescued safely.
The whole idea of extreme-risk tourism is just a bad idea. To start a business to offer to take people two miles under the ocean or far out into space is really poor judgment. They are unforgiving environments. Maybe they said the same thing 100 years ago about giving aircraft rides. Eventually the technology might catch up and it would be routinely safe, but it isn't there yet.
is it an original from the graphics department?.
anyone know?.
I did a google search for the pictured French actress and found this photo:
Admittedly a different photo shoot, hairstyle and clothing, but quite similar to the Stern photo.

I think there is a way to view a generic session (not your own assigned convention), which the OP might be referring to
i ran across this episode of jay leno's garage on youtube today.
all i know is it seems very similar to j f rutherford's much-vaunted 16-cylinder cadillac.
watch the episode and let us know what you think.
Good question, JFR’s may not have been a V16. The video said they made a V8 on the same body design. Even so, the image published in a WT publication during the depression says a lot about him and his sense of entitlement.
for the record, $6500 in 1930 equates to around $135,000-140,000 today.

Do you know which publication…
sbf, it was a wall sized mural in a KH in Midwest US. The building was sold some years ago and is now a daycare

In the video, the owner said the car had been in NJ and NY, and he didn’t know when or how it made the way to S California. He seemed to know a bit of its history. Maybe a comment on the youtube would bring a response from a larger audience
