Hitachi TV Review
by The Fall Guy ini have never reviewed a product before, but having purchased a hitachi 50 inch full hd lcd tv at the weekend, i thought i'd share my experience.
hitachi tv's are now made in turkey, and not by the hitachi company.
the uk's sole supplier is the argos company.

by pale.emperor inhttps://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201709_12_video.
a few things about this video:.
it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

A typical tourist will go into Russia on a single trip visa. This is valid for 30 days. It requires a letter of invite from an approved agency, typically the hotel you are staying at or the agency you booked through but can be obtained from other online sources easily. It has a start date and therefore an end date of 30 days later. You can go into the country at any point during the 30 days and leave at any point. This is regardless of any dates you may put down for your expected dates of entry and exit. You do not have to have a return ticket just so long as you leave before your visa expires.

Russia has single visit and double 30 day max visas that do not require any info on flights, just a letter of invite which can be got off the internet for £25. You need to specify a start date but that's it. Oh, and say if you are a member of a banned organisation. Which they weren't until the appeal failed hence the need to get out there and then.
Regardless, I'd have thought it would have been sensible to have booked changeable tickets home anyway or even some cheap tickets to say Germany or the U.K., just in case.

Mexico News Daily: Blood transfusion case before Supreme Court

Er no FM... in this case court offered the plaintiff a route to try an alternative, only reverting to a court order to enforce a transfusion if the alternative did not work.
The plaintiff did not accept this. She wants the threat of a court order removed completely.
Do you think this woman is acting alone or will she be acting with the support and guidance of the WT legal team?
It's another example of the WT arguing beyond a reasonable position purely for the sake of their doctrine. The law says X, the WTS wants Y. Will they accept X? No.

I think there are only two likely situations. Either it's most (if not all) of the same data per country as it always has been or it's headline figures for the globe or large regions at most. Why?
I personally don't think they can reduce most of the data if following the original country by country report. For example, number of hours, placements, baptisms etc. The only column that might disappear is the number of partakers. They will not lose the number of baptised. They will not lose total hours. They are very unlikely to lose placements. They will not lose number of pioneers etc.
The only way to hide the underlying trends is to move away from a country by country report and to a global headline but I don't think they really will do that. I think it will be close to what we have now, just on the website like this https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/2017-yearbook/jehovahs-witnesses-service-report-2016/

Sorry for the typo. I meant more holes than a sieve.
The feed into the world of bloodless medicine is interesting and there is no doubt that somewhere along the line there are Witnesses making money. I've no idea if the WT corporation has a financial interest in the technology and is profiting from such an inestment, if so then the exposure of this would constitute a scandal in my opinion.
I don't think that anyone would deny that medical advances that improve outcomes and reduce risk are valuable but the whole point of the WT doctrine is that certain blood transfusions are prohibited purely for doctrinal reasons and the relative safety of a procedure is irrelevant.
