Hi OrphanCrow!

This appears to be the latest HLC handbook (pdf download)

Firstly, I respect you, this is not personal and I know you have a strong medical interest.

What makes you think that this PDF is "the latest HLC handbook" ?

It is on a defunct website about home schooling that last references the 2013-14 school year
The PDF itself dates from Saturday 14 September 2013

The PDF apears to be purely rehashed Kingdom Ministry and Watchtower articles with cross-references, most recently from 2006, plus a couple of diagram, the only 'unique' thing seems to be the single page at the end from the 'Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine'.

There is nothing on the PDF to indicate any association with any 'HLC' etc etc.

I suspect that this is purely the work of an over-zealous person back in 2013 thinking they're being helpful by pulling together a few WT articles

Hi blondie

From The Gainesville Times:

Jehovah's Witnesses open new kingdom hall in Flowery Branch

The new Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall on J M Turk Road in Flowery Branch implements a new construction design.

A large plot of land on J M Turk Road in Flowery Branch was once covered by a forest, but has been cleared away in the last year to make room for a new Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Kingdom Hall. The hall opened in May after eight months of construction, said one of the congregation elders Robert Rankin.

The Flowery Branch kingdom hall was designed with a more modern, "educational center look," Rankin said. "This is the new design," he said. "You used to build them with a more residential look, with the sloped roof, you know. But in the long run, this outlasts that." His wife, Mary Rankin, said it is a commonly used international design, because it meets codes in just about any part of the world.

Robert Rankin said the facility is made of absolutely no wood, which saves time in construction because nails don’t have to be driven into planks. And the building’s flat roof allows air conditioning and utilities to be stored on top. The hall also has a dehumidifying system to help keep the temperature comfortable, Mary Rankin said. "I always have a problem being too cold," she said. "But this is great."

Hove KH sell off

by Damascus in

anyone know when this sell off of the brighton and hove kh was put on the market and where will the cong go to?.

Hi cantleave!

£550,000K should pay a few legal bills. TBH that seems quite steep for a commercial property even in the middle of Brighton.

It seems that the suggestion is to convert it into residential, which probably makes sense.

Hi nugget!

I used to attend Portslade congregation when they had the hall next to the railway bridge. At the time the congregation seemed pretty active how things change.

Maybe you where the heart and soul of the congregation?

Hi konceptual99!

One of the problems they had was that Hove congregation was pretty small and getting smaller. Disbanding two congregations and merging them in with Hove and another one (can't remember which this was) not only boosted the size of Hove but also allowed them to free up some property in a prime area of Brighton.

That would seem sensible - the two exisitng halls being used are only five miles apart anyway, and the third (old) hall is directly in the middle.

The Reynolds Road hall, while being further West is still pretty well located for central Brighton including for buses etc - I believe it was rebuilt in the early 2000.
