BOE Letter 4 Dec 2017: Changes To Circuits
by pale.emperor innot sure if this has been posted already, i didn't see it on here.. looks like a shakeup is coming in britain in regards to the circuits.
apparently the number of circuits has grown and they'd like them all to be about the same size.. i think it's more likely that with the merging congregations, there's larger distances between them so they're having to re-jiggle the circuits.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ardwrqmxdssvvhzathrjioajgpwwgwlm/view.

UK TV Drama: Doctors - A Question of Faith
by darkspilver ini tried posting this yesterday morning - but it seemed to hand on 'queued for processing' - it's been 24 hours now and it hasn't appeared yet, so i'm posting again..... wednesday's episode of bbc tv's long running daily late-lunch drama/soap 'doctors' was centred on a jw-related 'blood' story - looking at the knock-on effect three years.. they don't mention jw, just god.
they've also taken a number of liberties in order to make the story work (sister giving out personal mobile number to man, making 'return visit' on man by herself etc.
the time frame for the story is also really only a few hours) - but it's an interesting twist on the usual portrayal as it looks at the knock-on effect three years.. you can watch it in full on the bbc webste via ipayer for the next couple of weeks.. wednesday 1 february 2017 - bbc one tv 1.45pm - doctors: a question of faith.
