Have the UK JWs been stepping up their patrols lately?
by figureheaduk inhi everyone, sorry i've not been here for ages............... anyways, lately our house has been fetting quite a few knocks on the door by a jw who lives on my street.
sometimes he's alone, sometimes he's accompanied, but the odd thing is is that before we could go months without a visit from the wt's foot soldiers, and now lately we've been getting visits once or twice a week.
if we realise it's them we don't answer the door, but every now and then we get caught off guard and have to explain nicely that we're busy and not really interested.

Question about Governing Body
by figureheaduk ini remember flicking through my ex girlfriends copy of the "proclaimers" book back last year, and there was a page with the pictures of the gb at the time (roundabout 1992 with henschel, jaracz et al).
apart from noticing that the gb was totally comprised of males (well, with the wt's almost neanderthalitic view of women, you wouldnt expect a female contingent within the gb would you?
), i noticed that they all seemed to be white, and, judging by some of the names, probably american.

Some odd biblical rules.......
by figureheaduk injust got these from a feature on the daily mirror site (www.mirror.co.uk) about strange bible-based rules.
anybody know what the wt's take on any of these are (and if the wt flouts any of them, even though it claims to follow the bible as god's true word).
i know the following quotes probably aren't taken from the nwt version, but i suppose they would be along the same lines........ deuteronomy 21:18-21 has some bad news for wayward sons:if a man have a stubborn and rebellious son... then shall his father and his mother... bring him unto the elders of his city... and all men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die.. .

Need advice on splitting up with my JW girlfriend
by figureheaduk inmany of you that i have become friendly with on this board will probably know the story of me and my jw girlfriend.
for those that don't, here is the lowdown:.
three and a half years ago i met my girlfriend, and everything seemed great until about two or three months later she told me that she used to be a jw (and that her brother and certain other family members still were).

"Should religion be funded?"
by figureheaduk ina few months back i was at my girlfriend's placed when i noticed a copy of the watchtower on her dining table.
if i remember correctly, the picture on the front cover was that of a donations bowl being passed from one hand to another, with the title being something along the lines of "religion : should it be funded?
" i didn't read the article (or any other part of that damned magazine for that matter), but i'm guessing that the following may have came up in that article in one way or another:.
