    I wonder how many JWs are aware that Job Centres formerly known as Labour Exchanges were started by the Sally Army(Salvation Army!).

    Should a JW therefore enter a Job Centre because of its connections with Chritendom?

    They might be demons lurking in the dark corners of a Job Centre!

    Okay, I can figure out that job centers are something like an unemployment office. But please tell me, what the heck is a Citizens Advice Bureau? When I saw one in "The Prisoner" TV show, I thought "How Orwellian, how dystopian." Then I heard that they actually exist, and - during a side trip from my week in London - saw a sign pointing towards one whilst in Canterbury last Friday, but didn't have time to stop by.

    heehee bod ... the old CAB is an institution that has existed for many years - well, the prisoner was a sixties prog right ?

    it's an advice centre for people who need to know their rights - civil, legal, family law etc etc etc - they are a charitable organisation as far as i know and rely on sponsorship and donations ... sound familiar ?

    y'know i never thought of it as orwellian ... i wonder which Ministry it would come under ...

    Interesting idea. I often find myself wondering about laws but with no clear path to find out about them. Should I write to my state attorney general about what I feel is inappropriate telemarketing, will I get a reply? Doubtful. I wrote one of my Senators about the practice of banks fingerprinting check cashers even with proper I.D., yet never got a response. True, the web offers some information, but it is usually not localized.

    As far as "The Prisoner," I had seen episodes of the show once or twice, but recently bought the complete series on DVD. Good show, weird ending. I'm still trying to find appropriate application to the Watchtower Society of the phrase "Number Two is unmutual!"
