by AK - Jeff in

please do not try it - the balance of the thread will explain.

i am locking this thread and letting it fade away, but those who read it should see that there are some problems by some that i did not experience before i posted the thread.

i have notified admin to address the email/identity issues.

Pubsinger

OK I'm confused!

This post has been duplicated on JWN but I can't seem to post or logon there

I take it it's not totally live yet?

I can't.

My username or password don't work and I can't find anywhere to create a new profile.

Someone help me out!

I find the "folk" tag one of the most confusing as I like quite a bit of the stuff here but I wouldn't classify it as folk - Alison Krauss being an example.

I normally lump them all together as (mainly) acoustic singer songwriters.

Here's a couple . . .

Jehovah's Witness British Branch - All Time Peak!

by slimboyfat in

according to the december 2008 kingdom ministry jehovah's witnesses reached an all time peak number of publishers and pioneers in august 2008. .

onwards and upwards... .

Pubsinger

There doesn't appear to be a figure anywhere in this thread . . .
So what is this peak? I'm so out of touch I've no idea what the UK figure is.

As has been said - only the average publisher figure is worth bothering about as a true representation of the number of JWs.

So does anyone have these figures?

Following on from Besty, unless they've changed it since I left over 9 years ago the British Isles figure (I'm sure that's what the WT says) is actually England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland which is part of the UK/GB/British Isles is actually lumped in with The Republic of Ireland's figures as they both report to he Dublin Branch Office.

Pioneer Hour Requirements Not Changing

by Joker10 in

i was told this morning by my parents that the circuit overseer told everyone in the congregation that certain rumor, the change in hour requirements for pioneers is not being lowered.

he mentioned he got this information from the governing body.

he advised everyone to stop believing in rumors!

Pubsinger

I agree with that Honesty.

It might turn out that the info about the change is true.

But until then I think we should just be dignified.

Schoolteacher loses job for telling kids the truth

http://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/2/community-news/17526/santa-isnt-real-teacher-banned-from-school-after-christmas-blunder.

what do you think?.

Pubsinger

Ok let's get the facts straight.

Firstly this was in the UK not the US - so it's not "Only in the US"

The teacher was banned from one school and a complaint lodged with her agency - so she was a supply teacher filling in for absence.

I agree with her ban/suspension from that school.

I don't think it's anything to do with "The Truth" it's to do with using some DISCRETION and understanding other peoples expectations.
It might be true that the Headteacher in the school was fat and ugly - but to tell the kids that would be unacceptable.

Lots of people, families and neighbours have different standards and perspectives but we don't go around pointing them out.
We just mind our own business and shut up about it.
It's called good manners and respecting other peoples standpoint.
