i had posted this a few days ago and got no response, then i realized i had messed up the title, so here goes again;.

i have learned from a credible source that jws from the us have recently gone to morocco to witness, where the work is under ban, and while living there have lived under assumed names.

this is (according to my source) under the direction of the branch (i'm not sure which branch it would be, but i would guess france).

i received the latest copy of the lhmm magazine (the laymen's home missionary movement, which is one of the bible student groups which shares a common russellite origin with the jws).

i was simply amazed by their supposedly scientific article about the deluge.

at the end of the article it says you can request a full treatise on the subject.
