The estate of Lina Heydrich was at the outskirt of Prague, but today it is just couple miles from end of the subway station "C" almost at the entrance of the city. There were actually two chateaus in Panenské Břežany, one owned by K.H. Frank and second by Lina Heydrich. Lina employed mostly German and Dutch JWs who lived there until arrival of the Red Army. I am not sure if any JWs were working at second chateau at the service of Carola Blazek Frank, the wife of K.H. Frank for certainity, because Czech records have Lina listed as Bible students, but other records mentions the word Jehovah witnesses at the service of Reichprotector (but no mention which one both K.H Frank and Heydrich were Reichprotectors during WWII). In Czechoslovakia the Jehovah Witness name was used since 1930'. I have seen books published in Czech language with this name, not under Bible Students. I think this is source for some of the confussions when dealing with JW/BS from Bohemia versus Germany. Carola would employ most likely JW from her native city of Most, which was in Sudetenland, and headquarters of the JW community for German speaking population of interwar Czechoslovakia. The oldest KH in Bohemia was in Most since 1911. Carola was fluent in Czech and German; extremely beautifull, charming, and liked by everyone. After war she was arrested and deported into USSR, and she suppossed to be seen in Prague in the 60's-80's. All her workers employed at Prague and Panenské Břežany were arrested and brought in front of retributional tribunal to investigate their conduct during WWII, which included nany and medical staff (Carola was also doctor working at Bulovka hosptial). JWs/BS who were at Lina Heydrich were not native to Bohemia and Czechoslovakia, were sent back o their native country. This would not be the case for JWs who were at service of Carola. I wish to know more, but there is just fraction of information I heard and read over these years. I remember than around 1980 there were talks that some JWs in Protectorate were investigated after war for compliance and non-resistance to Nazis and they won because they pointed to persecution of JWs under Hitler. Communist regime did not start until 1948 where most of the retribution courts were already closed.

Question for those converted to JW as adults
by DaleRivers inwhy did you become a jw, what particular teachings attracted you to 'the truth' ?.
.
in my case (baptized at 20/21) it was the only religion i knew; my mom, her mom, and favorite sister were jw; and the teachings of no hellfire or immortal soul made sense to me.. .

I grew up with it. My mom was brought into cult by my father sister-in-law who was JW since 1950's. She started to study with both of them, my father was a victim of political purges in 1969, difficult times socially and economically. Then came the buzz to 1975, I think my parents studied for years, but my dad refused to get baptised, but my mom did around 1975 or so. Many people who joined in 1960's & 1970's saw only god Jehovah capable smashing communist system.

I think it is important to say that JWs did indeed suffered and many died for their beliefs. Other thing is that many JWs are anti-semitics, especially the older generation I knew and many were interwar and postwar convert. Addtionally, not all JWs sufferred equally, and many lived in the WWII imprisonment in relative comfortability working as servant for highest Nazi officials likes Heydrich and after war revolutionary and various retribution tribunals wanted to prosecute them for compliance with the Nazis. The same issue is raised with victims of Stalinist oppression where some JWs collaborated with the communist regime and were informant for the state police. I had checked some of the names in the communist files opened after 1989 and I was actually suprised to see one of the elder name there as informant with his wife, DOB, addresses, and various information they provided to the state police. Some of the JWs that were well known in 1960's but died since since then were actually very active with the communist police. These information are well known and published. If there was collaboration during Stalin era, there was certainly during A.H.

I have experienced anti-semitism from elder JWs in Eastern Europe long time ago. Anti-semitism was widespread in KH especially among JWs who went to cult before, during and right after WWII. One elder sister regularly called Jews as Jesus killers who will not be resurrected.
I am also skeptical on some of the WWII accounts as I have read some postwar documents from retribution tribunals that charged some of the JWs with collaboration and compliance with Nazi regime. When I will be back in Prague, I am thinking to request from DoJ material on JW that deal with this issue. While I am not aware of any case when JW was prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but some of these accussations were brought up into the court and they will be available at archives per requests. For example Reinhard Heydrich, third highest ranking Nazi official assassinated by Czech underground resistance in 1942 employed bunch of JWs as his servants at chateau outside of Prague. These JWs lived there in relative comfortability and abundance at Brezany until May 1945. After war some of the JWs were indeed charged by revolutionary tribunal as did many people who were employed by Nazi regime.

Where and How HIV infections (Aids) spread to Humans
by fulltimestudent infrom the time that hiv infections came to the notice of the medical community, scientists have been attempting to trace its origins.. .
an electron microscope scan of a huv-1 virion budding from a cultured lymphocyte.
if the above process was occurring in your body, you would be in for a lot of problems.. the latest research conclusions are that the first cases occurred around the year 1920, in the african city of kinshasa, now captital of the democratic republic of congo.. scientists have been able to track at least 13 transmissions from apes to humans, but only one transmision involved the hiv-1 virus group that has resulted in some 75 million human infections to this time.. the team of scientists involved in this study see the following factors being involved in the development of the pandemic.

Barious biomathematic models estimates that HIV crossed human population between 1885-1905 in time of genocide of Belgium Congo. I had read somwhere in peer journal that HIV was described as early as 1930's and that was years ago. Biological material from USA and Europe are preserved with HIV samples as early as 1960's. HIV is in population for many years, but it took about 70 years before it was noticed by scientific community. Ebola is known since 1976.

michelle, there is a problem with a Christian thinking and theology which insists that Jews must believe in the same as they do because they got it wrong and Christianity right. From the Jewish point, there cannot be a redeemer for sins, G-d could not suffer and die, there is no abyss of sin between humanity and G-d that is bridged by Jesus. There is more to it than accepting Jesus as messiah for Jews and Christianity is way different than Judaism. This is fact.

Of course it matter, because Jesus was not messiah, and very bad prophet. He still failed to return 2000 years later. Yeah, but you believe it because Paul said so even when it violated the OT on multiple places.

USA is the only western democracy which has relativelly good demographics. Russian, European, and Japanese is againg and dying off rapidly. China is not far behidn iwth the one child policy. It will eventually slow the economic growth as the population will mirror Japan in next 40 years.
fulltimestudent. what you descibe can be summarized as illusion of freedom. Additionally, majority of citizens in democracies absolutelly do not care about politics and especially the middle class which is passive and resigned. In 1960's there the same mass protests everywhere without making a dent into political structure of these countreis and in the 1970's these protestes were forgottoen. In 2010-13 there were huge protests everywhere in EU with millions of people in the streets from Madrid, to Athens, Prague, Riga, Ljubjana to Budapest, and nothing happend in the long run.

Chinese economy is really unknown and upredictable as there is a lot of internal, hidden problems. It is mixed of capitalism and communism where the debt level is hard to estimate, and much of the money is waisted on programs that do have not value for the economy. China due its size have a significant potential but it will not be able to postpone economic problem indefinitely. In 1980's I heard how Japan will rule the world, today it is said about China. USA debt is a major burden on American economy, but Japans and British debts are the biggest problems for industrial world.
