A big problem for JW's in the UK?
by Jim Dee infrom the sky news web site - 23.06.05giving the cold shoulderdoorstep salesmen who cold-call are to be targeted with the launch of a new scheme banning them from certain areas.
residents who feel harassed by their tactics will work with police to create no-entry zones for them under a plan by the trading standards institute.. .
the no-go zones could cover anything from a street to an entire estate and will also help combat so-called "distraction burglaries", which have been linked to cold-calling.. persistent doorstep sellers would then be reported to the authorities for follow-up action.. ron gainsford, chief executive of the institute, said: "people are sick and tired of uninvited doorstep callers.

Have you ever heard of a Disfellowshipping overturned
by Jim Dee ini was an elder for 14 years.. i sat through 23 disfellowshipping decisions and 6 appeals - and not one of them was approved.
i checked with the guys i grew up with and they hadn't heard of an overuling either (and one of them is now a co).the i think about my 35 years under the cosh - and i cannot recall an overuling from that perspective either.. it would be worth knowing, has anyone hear ever heard of a disfellowshipping being overruled?
or is this another case of animal farm coming true.

"What is life if full of care - we have no time to stop and stare"
by Jim Dee inthat prose was written many years ago by a great poet - william henry davies from wales.. 4 years ago i realised that the child molestation issue was totally out of order and the society was plain wrong, and helped in my own small way to help those who highlighted the problem - and in the following years i also realised that the poets words were right.. for 40 years its been - monday wt study prep, tuesday group, wed prep for tms, thursday tms and sm, friday personal strudy, sat field service, sunday wt and field service.
there was no time to stop and stare!
a treadmill with no happiness or ending - just acceleration.. now on a sat and sun i go away the wales, the lake district, the fenlands of norfolk or the museums in london.

Green Thumb in the UK - a new way to Pioneer?
by Jim Dee inin the uk a new craze is underway in the org - its called "green thumb" and is run by an elder in heswall on merseyside.. he is recruiting other elders and ms to buy franchises and county areas and employ pioneers to sell the services door to door or on the phone.
been going now about 4 years and the bro in heswall is now worth 30million.. he encourages the franchise holders to employ pioneers and "youths" because they are reliable, experienced salespeople and dirt cheap.
