  Hi bohm,

  I see it as the other way. All the literature is printed in Germany then shipped to the UK for distribution through the country. This means no printing in the UK.

  Indeed it would be huge news to anyone outside of the propaganda machine. It seems like they are trying to bring a change in through the back door. We've had news recently about how much work is being done at Chelmsford. Then this comes in through a letter to the BoE with no instruction to read to the congregation. Not only that but the letter does not reference any end of printing or anything like that, it simply talks about the fact that now Britain will do distribution. At some point it will all be obvious but since the change has been done with no fanfare it will be a seamless transition without the possible repercussions of a proper announcement.

  Of course, all of this is slightly moot since an easy excuse is the move to more electronic distribution and the sheeples will lap it up anyway. But why make it a talking point at all if you can do it on the sly...

  Just to be clear. My reading of this is that no printing will be done in the UK. It will be done in Germany and sent to the UK for distribution to the local congregations. Have I understood it correctly?

  I'd love to say it's punishment for the constant aloofness of the British bethel heavies and the resulting poor relationship with the US but I think it's just economics given the contraction of the WTBTS as a printing organisation. It makes more sense to have one super branch in Europe and it makes sense for that to be centrally located.

  Keep going Wifi. The mere fact that every bit of video the org produces is being leaked and put out for the world to see is fantastic!

  Southampton. The Dell. Late 80s, early 90s.

  One convention we had a bloke run on to the pitch and streak naked until being rugby tackled by an attendant. And no, that's not a euphemism.

  Same place, same time period. A sister mixed her words up in an interview and said shit.

  For us teenagers sunning ourselves on tepee south stand it was pure comedy gold.

  "Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

  the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

  paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

  does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?
