Are they really closing down branches in Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guyana ?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i just got this information on the phone, from a local jw family member : the society is definitely downsizing its worldwide institutional network and they intend to disband their bethels in the three french overseas departements of martinique, guadeloupe an french guyana.

i've not heard about the fourth departement la reunion in the indian ocean but i gather that they might go the same way there.. i wonder , what about the decent amount of money i donated to them in order to build one of those bethels , is it bound to be siphoned off to brooklyn ?

objection, that was not included in the deal.

after the two concerts he delivered in paris last we, prince was interviewed by le monde journalists, where he confirms he "belongs to jws" and says that he considers it as a means to hold his freedom between boundaries, give balance and meaning to his life and have an outlook on the world.

cette liberte a-t-elle un prix ?.

si je suis pour la liberte en toute chose, il faut savoir aussi ne pas aller trop loin.

London cops told to stop & search more whites to keep racial balance in stats
by aligot ripounsous in

.

london policemen have to report statistics showing a smaller proportion of black and muslimlike people being stopped and searched in the street, which leads them to do so randomly with white people, just to keep racial balance and out of political correctness, regardless of whether they seem to correspond to the targets of the antiterrorism policy.. now, looking at it under another angle, one could rightly argue that producing such racially balanced statistics, even if they are rigged and don't lure anyone, will contribute to a more peaceful social atmosphere and, perhaps, defuse tensions and resentment that lead to some forms of criminal activities and maybe to terrorism, who knows.
