Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB
by konceptual99 incan't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.
given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.
i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

Hi NVR2L8!
That's all you need if you are going to dunk 1 or 2 kids at the circuit assembly...the good ol' days of mass baptism are over.
I think they baptised 500 or so this way at the Melbourne International in 2014 - see photos in OP

Howto: get access to scientific papers
by Anders Andersen insince most people are not aware on how to get (free*) access to scientific papers and journals, so here's a short list of resources.. search http://scholar.google.com for the paper.
maybe you'll get lucky and find it somewhere for free.. if you can only find a paid for version of the paper, get the title, doi (sort of like an isbn number) and link to the download page of the paper on the paysite.. if you don't know the doi, find it by searching your paper's title on http://crossref.org.
go to the libgen site (links here: https://sites.google.com/site/themetalibrary/library-genesis ) and search for the paper.

Quantity or Quality - Which?
Quantity or quality - which impresses you most? Fallen human nature is prone to be impressed by quantity rather than by quality. Superlatives as to size or number may appeal to inherent selfishness in man. But quantity is not everything......

Hi dubstepped!
I love you guys and your videos but have to admit that the only time I run across you is during self-promotion. Sure would be nice to see you guys respond to the threads you start, to emails, etc., maybe even getting down in the trenches and helping one on one at times. I think I'm friends with you on Facebook, per your request, but you only show up about yourselves. Maybe that's not fair, but I've lost interest due to it.
haha welcome to the age of digital narcissism and slacktivism
And, be honest - ok, perhaps not with the OP, but with other youtubers etc - yes I'm sure they're perfectly 'nice' people, but admit it... after watching some of them you silently say to yourself in an undertone - "Thank god they weren't ever in my congregation!"

Remote Translation Offices (RTO) of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhat do you think about these things.
it seems like a monumental waste of time and money, a pipe dream of the governing body based on wishful thinking.
this corporation is going down the tubes with these asshole deluded genius's calling the financial investment shot.. buying chemical dump property around the world to build their financial empire headquarters on while facing massive child molestation lawsuits now and many more in the future means it looking kind of bleak for these messed idiots running things.. http://jw-branchoffices.blogspot.com/p/watchtower-remote-translation-offices.html.

Hi millie210!
Honestly, I dont see why it couldnt be done in a closet. Or a basement.
Wow, kinda glad I don't work for you - hard task master! haha
Yes, they could, but probably not so effectively, or even so accurately.The point being, I dont see why they cant do all of this at headquarters. All it takes is a computer to transmit data.
Remember, buying a property is a capital asset whose valve can be realised when sold and not a 'running cost' whose valve is lost.Look at how the U.N. does it. Lots of language flowing in and out there. No need to have an expensive property in Florida.
Interesting example - as, no, they don't - they use just six languages. If you wanna make a statement in your own language (not one of the 6) perhaps for political PR reasons, then you need to bring your own translation.The European Union at least uses 23 official languages, though only effectively three working languages, of which English is the most used apparently - might cause a bit of a problem when Britain exits....Oh, and building in the out back of beyond in Africa is probably way way cheaper than having it at 'HQ'I suppose the bottom line is everybody should speak English - I mean they're all gonna be speaking English in the 'New Order Paradise' aren't they - after all it's the 'perfect lanuage'!(please, that last paragraph is meant to be ironic) -

Hi Slidin Fast
On another thread the baptism "pool" or rather stainless steel sheep dip is shown in an assembly hall.
to be fair, that seems to be an Australia Melbourne only thingy? Unless anyone knows differently?

Hi millie210!
So how does any of the above apply to the Ft. Lauderdale office in Florida?
haha - the exception that proves rule?
But seriously, out of all languages, by it's very nature Sign Language is going to be the least geo-centric language.
But why Florida?
Because it is one area of the USA that has a highest number of hearing disabled people
Check out:

And, more importantly WT-wise, a high number/density of congregations (publishers) - you can see that quite simply by doing a basic 'state' search for ASL congegations on jw.org.
They have to translate ASL somewhere, they need a bigger and higher spec place for the production of video.
Where in the US would you have expected WT to do ASL translation and video production??
