  So Britain is leaving the European Union (EU).

  The governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its European activities to the control of Watchtower Britain and the IBSA primarily because of Britain's membership with the EU.

  Further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses, based in the political lobby district of Brussels, is administered by Watchtower Britain and its officers.

  Expect major changes in the structure of Watchtower.

  Isn't all the printing going to Germany anyway? Maybe wt saw this coming and acted shrewdly.

  Oh no, you know how this is going to be spun don't you? By divine revelation wt moved their operations to Germany JUST before brexit. Must have been Yahweh.

  It's the feet of clay in Daniel's drug induced vision, they mean something again. The UK and the USA will be the dual world power again. Phew! The WBT$ were right all along.....apart from the feet of clay....and everything else they predicted.

  Not if Scotland goes to another referendum and decides to leaves the UK so as to remain part of the EU.

  All printing activities goes to Germany. And all assets, donations and economic matters will be handled by the new structure in Belgium (Association Européenne des Témoins Chrétiens de Jehovah).

  well--if there is another referendum about Scotlands future--maybe the rest of the UK will get a say in the matter--unlike last time.

  Chrétiens de Jehovah.

  Isn't there a typo? Shouldn't it be Cretins de Jehovah?

  Cheap shot I know but someone had to do it.

  Scotland might choose not to leave the UK even if Nicola Sturgeon puts it to the people. Who will protect Scotland in the event of war? There is no Scottish army or Scottish naval carriers. If they do get independence, they might have some sort of Crown dependency status like the Isle of Mann of the Channel Islands. They would be free but might have to rely on England for defense.

  They would join Nato, so you would :-). Anyway, I am sure they won't leave. Go #brexit!

  I'm interested in hearing what Obama says today.

  If it really is the end of the special relationship, and the UK goes back to the queue as he says, then bye bye Anglo American World Power.

  Another failed WT prediction right there.
