  there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.

  what if we could stop one of them?

  wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i have done a breakdown for the usa, since the majority on this forum are american, along with the uk and australia.

  us growth has slowed, but still moving along, but uk and australia have are at a virtual standstill, and in fact decreasing against population growth.. .

  jehovah's witness publisher statistics - united states.

  @viviane I think you are confusing absolute growth in population over a 10 year period with single year growth for the JW's...unless I'm missing your point?

  Good Netflix shows to watch

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

  house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

  Poster country flags and privacy

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

  before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

  first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

  I think a good compromise might be for default position is correct country as assigned by the forum software OR opt out if user wishes forum software will then show a skull and crossbones as your country flag.

  Under no circumstances should users be given control over what country flag appears. Correct country of origin or pirate, no 3rd options.
