  Composition of members of the Watch Tower Society at the annual meeting in 1945

  by slimboyfat in

  .

  just came across this info from 1946 yearbook.

  it would be fascinating to have the same information on members at this year's annual meeting.

  ...at least women are not allowed as voting members of the society.
  I guess Jesus also will only allow the female anointed in the heavenly kitchen to cook him some matzes?

  See the new Dutch assembly hall

  ...it looks like a generic, easy to sell barn hall.. https://youtu.be/eqwrfhbbqwy.

  nothing like the old hall it's built next to.. the small room in the video is the indoctrination education center.. the building is completed one year ahead of schedule.

  my guess: it's either much simpler than they originally planned, and/or they had more volunteers because nothing else is being built.. video is dutch, but nothing interesting is said anyway..

  Hopefully a Commonwealth Precedent - DF'ing Reviewable by a Court

  well, it's been a very long road, so far, but, for the greater good.. appeal decision posted today.. http://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abca/doc/2016/2016abca255/2016abca255.html?autocompletestr=highwood%20congr&autocompletepos=1.

  Good luck.

  I understand that it's the economic impact of the DF that makes the court willing to review the case.

  But imho what should be reviewed by the court is that the life of a less than 15 year old child and their family can be destroyed because the child decided/was pressured to become 'member of a self governed organisation', but failed to foresee all consequences of that 'decision'.

  We watched first few episodes and stopped because my wife doesn't like it. I intend to continue myself.

  But for now I'm too busy watching 5 seasons of the Walking Dead. Watching mindless zombies. Apparently I got used to them while still in...

  For those wondering if this new hall is just the building style up here: yes, for event halls used for business fairs, indoor markets, or sports.

  But auditoria normally are much more luxurious and 'finished'.

  Here's a picture of the original hall:

  

  Notable differences: carpet vs concrete floor, somewhat comfy chairs vs wooden chairs, ceiling vs roof, pretty brick walls vs ugly concrete and iron framing.

  People who join high control groups like JW or Scientology are not crazy. Nor do they become a member; they are recruited.

  An excellent explanation of how the process works is shown in this video by TheraminTrees:

  JW child first pediatric patient to receive acute normovolemic hemodilution - 1970

  by OrphanCrow in

  2. medical

  acute normovolemic hemodilution.

  hemodilution simply refers to the process of diluting the blood with another substance.

  there are various ways that this is done before, during and after the surgical process.

  Wow, you're digging deep!

  Great find and write up. Thanks!

  Are you planning on presenting/publishing your research somehow?
