I don't think jw. org or any of the turkey-buzzard cults could cope were there a significant amount of interest shown by the refugees whose repatriation will involve all manner of NGOs.
Four, apparently:

Jehovah's Witnesses post 'anti-gay' 'Harness Your Habits' leaflet in North Devon
by OrphanCrow injehovah's witnesses post 'anti-gay' 'harness your habits' leaflet in north devon.
devon and cornwall police have said a leaflet posted through doors in north devon isn't a crime – despite it advising gay people to "control their urges".the leaflet, entitled "how to harness your habits", was distributed in north devon by jehovah's witnesses and contains an article asking "what does the bible say about homosexuality?
"in it, the religious group states that "rejecting homosexuality" is completely different to "rejecting people of a different skin colour" and says their views are the same as people who "view smoking as harmful and even repugnant".it also compares gay people to animals, but says "unlike animals, they can choose not to act on their impulses".the journal was contacted by a reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, who felt "belittled" by the leaflet.

paying for sex is currently illegal in the UK
I understand from the below link that:
In England, Wales and Scotland, the exchange of sexual services for money is legal, but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes. Although the legal age of consent is 16, it is illegal to buy sex from a person younger than 18. In England and Wales, it is an offence to pay for sex with a prostitute who has been subjected to force even if the client did not know.

a bit off-topic, but that's absolutely hilarious!
Well, as this thread's title says....
if he'd harnessed his habits....
Anyway, it's really just like buying a car...
Peter Tatchell, the human rights and LGBT campaigner, says that MP Keith Vaz has “not broken any laws” and should not resign over claims in a Sunday newspaper that he paid for sex with male prostitutes.
“We don’t demand that MPs who buy or own cars step down from committees when they are debating legislation to do with the car industry,” he said.

Synthetic Blood trial slated for 2017
by Lee Elder inthe u.k. to start trials in a new synthetic blood substitute.
all previous versions have failed to gain regulatory approval, but perhaps this one will offer a way out for jehovah's witnesses.

Isn't this from over a year ago? June 2015?
Lee Elder: We would welcome that development. That said, however, it would require a substantial reform of the current policy which forbids the use of red cells.
Has anything changed in your view?

The Daily Mail, Express and Sun are now all picking it up....
