Anyone from the UK read or subscribe to the New Humanist mag?
by NoRegrets ini'm asking because i was reading an article on the huffington post about ricky gervais having arguments on twitter with christian fundamentalists.. they talked about ricky being on the cover of the new humanist magazine in september/october and how that was part of the controversy.
they showed a picture of the cover and on the lower left hand corner there was an article teaser about "leaving jehovah"!
just wondering if anyone read it and/or has access to it.

Any sucessful wrongful death lawsuits?
by NoRegrets ini was just wondering if there are any documented cases of a sucessful wrongful death lawsuit against the wt.
(excluding the car crash caused by a sleep deprived bethelite.).

A witness charity benefit?
by NoRegrets inanyone here ever try to host a small benefit-type gathering for a witness in need?
my wife's aunt and uncle fell on hard times and someone decided to have a gathering where everyone brought a little food and then could give them a little money if wanted.
it was all pretty informal and unofficial but for some reason their son contacted the co to make sure it was okay to do something a little unconventional.

I just "witnessed" officially for the first time!!!
by NoRegrets ini mean door to door (sort of), not informally to non-witness friends and family!.
so for a few weeks, i have suspected that my neighbor across the hall was being studied with by witnesses.
i wasn't sure but saw a couple of older women leaving with what looked like bibles, but never saw watchtower literature.
