"proven" harm of psychological oppression of the own members, of course no physical harm of members or others except the nearly inforcement of members to not accept any blood products.

ad criticizing other religions: The "extreme" criticizing attitude or even denunciation of the catolic and orthodox churches in the literature is well known, naming all other religions "harlot babylon", speaking of the soon coming innihalation of firstly the old churches and the clergy-class by the actually the United Nations-allied troups was and is long the recipe of distinction or fantasy of the JW-writers, a unbearable dogma in the 21 century.

Its getting a bit long in the tooth although so much people worked here voluntary and for the only true and real kingdom that exists, tearing down and building the new one here was here no alternative.

FSEM - What exactly? If only this list of literature is a basis of an accusation for "extremism" then really each piece of literature (or passage in the literature) which is included should be at the moment of inclusiion ben notarially documented and a accompanied by a serious argument by the ministry of justice and not only ad-hoc.
LRO - Local regional organisations - the legal entities - hundreds of congregations and otther entities, right?
MPO ....
...legal certainty .. interesting.

Good morning
Here as info a Google Street view 360 surround shot.
The place is located ideal at the motorway. A good place for an educational institution, a private college or a shopping mall.
Thats funny:
You translated "The Foundation for Building and Exploitation of Congregation", whereas the
object of investments' homepage says "the foundation of construction and operation of meeting places".

I see the stories of the bible as report about eternal struggle between the pagan origin and the humanity. The Thorah was only the underlay for the silverware and plates, not to be understood literally but to be used as basis of the interpretation by the important theologians, man, priests and rabbis, what they are doint even today. As the interpretion was the purpose of writing and collecting the bible texts, therefore it exists yet.

2. If someone today believes they are the son of God or Satan or whoever, no one would believe them. They would be treated for mental illness.
The title "Son of God" has nothing to do with illusion of mental illness. It has historical basis in jewish world. It was a common term in the jewish theology and enthronement rite and not a term for a biological son of god but a honory title.
The titel "Son of god" appears in the old testament of the hebrew bible already before Jesus Christ lived at all.
Hosea 11,1 calls the people of Israel "the son". In the Psalms the enthroned kings are called "sons" of god. Of course the jewish kings did not think that they were biological sons of god, but adopted the ancient oriental tradition where the at the kings courts the honory titel "son of God" was used at the enthronement ceremonies. So the term came to Israel from oldoriental, babylonian enthronement rites.
Psalm 2 uses this oriental royal court language in the enthronement scene. But here in Psalm 2 with this formula the king is not the biological son of God but is chosen and adopted and gets obligated legally to act as minister in the place of god, representing god. The kings were also anointed with anointed oil, like christians today do at the confirmation, what underlined this ministry.
6 Saying: “I myself have installed my king+On Zion,+ my holy mountain.” 7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah;He said to me: “You are my son;+Today I have become your father.+Psalm
The king David was Son not because he was it biological, but because he was adopted as son, in the language. Therefore the PROCREATION, another term, is the act of chosing by god. Israel is likewise called the chosen Son of God. The kings are chosen, the anointed are chosen ones. - There is no biological procreation.
With that in mind the term "Son of God" was alread well known in the jewish world and should not mean that Jesus is the biological son of the father but rather it meant a king or Messiah.
But of Jesus is told that he was killed because he agreed to be the "son of God". It was the blasphemy for what he was killed to say to be the son of god. Was it because no one else was allowed to use the title than the real king the awaited Messiah.?
Of course it could be that a wannabe-Messiah who wanted to become king or messiah lived and was killed and that he was so ill that he said he was even a biological son of god and not that Jesus he was like in the gospels a great teacher a intelligent rabbi.
or it could have been that the story of a Wannabe-messiah was only a creative invention of the later church to have a hero, but he was in reality a looser, but who wants a looser, a crucified, as founder of a religion, the romans who wanted to defeat the Jews?
__
the dead sea scrolls dating about 200 - 100 BCE often combined the title "Messiah" with Son of God and Son of the highest. Another fact that shows that it was a common term.

Hey Miss Wordly,
if I was an atheist I would still believe that the bible is an important work of world literature. It tells after all about the world, dear Miss Wordly, how worldy things pull down and how holy things build up, wordly and holy things that happened with people in this world.
1. The bible was written to frighten or control men
Its a message of hope, freedom, mercy. The bible is the text that evolved, emerged and was collected along a long road in which the nomadic shepards and shepardess became permanent settled, urbanized and built a temple and got a state. Their picture of god changed from a mountain god or local god to a universal cosmic god that is in heaven. Thats for me a fascination story, and it is varnished with heroic tales and sayings about importance of values like friendship and mercy.
As athesist I would like to read the Psalms or to read the bible book "song of songs", in which a horny shepard falls in love with a girl, the texts about his longing and desire and I would understand that this text was written to give people hope and to teach a merciful tangible close god in contrast to a distant majestic "Zebaot"-god. Both different images of god existed in the world and Israel made a decision for the merciful god. Alone this story besides the many titles that were given to gods, how much people were interested in a religious life in those times and how they made their gods to look like they wanted.
The most important part of the Old Testament was the Thora, it was not seen as control instrument, but as guidance, thus say all old rabbis. Besides that there was a civil legislation.
