This thread is about JWs and the Welsh language....
Richard Oliver: For this you have to remember that in Wales there are estimated to be about 562,000 Welsh speakers that is supported by only 10 Welsh congregations. There are in comparison 41 English congregation in Wales.
No, that is wrong.
There are only THREE Welsh langage congregations in Wales. And around EIGHTY - 80 - English language congregations in Wales - I'm getting MY data direct from jw.org - where are you getting YOUR data from??
There are eight Welsh language GROUPS in Wales that are attached to English language congregations - a group is too small to be it's own congregation, generally only one or two elders and maybe up to a dozen publishers.
In addition there are another two Welsh language groups in Argentina that are attached to Spanish language congregations.
ab.ortega: How did they do it before? Or is there now less Males qualified to give the talk? If that is so, I can see a trend here.
Exactly!
And that needs to be coupled with what we know from Barbara Anderson's excellent research that we are effectively seeing ONE JW minister being CONVICTED of child molestation EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Remember the news about the JW Elder from North Wales that hit the headlines just last month on 23 December 2016....
Oh, and BTW, the article says he's from Llanddaniel in Anglesey - this means that his NEAREST congregation - a 6 mile one-way drive - is the Bangor, WELSH congregation - his nearest ENGLISH congregation is Amlwch, which is an 18 mile one-way drive.

And don't forget the TWO Welsh Groups who meet with the congregations in Trevelin and Gaiman in Argentina
Below is the Google StreetView of the Kingdom Hall in Trevelin - note the KH sign in front is in both Spanish AND Welsh

TV commercial seen in the United States, from a Law firm "Asking if you were ever sexually abused by JEHOVAHS WITNESSES, please call".
by Dunedain inok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.

Watchtower and Emoji's - your thoughts
by Tallon inon the jw.org website, the watchtower is sending out a strong warning with regard to emoji's & flirting.. my personal view is that the org is now trying to micro-manage just about every aspect of people's lives!.

That's cool, I just didn't want to copy and paste my comment
In the end I think anything that can help parent's open/start the convo on this sort of thing with their kids is good - a lot of emoji's have 'other' meanings, and I wouldn't want MY kids using them, even as 'fun', but that's just my take on it.

An identical "American Sovereignty Restoration Act," intended to "terminate U.S. participation in the United Nations," has been introduced to the House of Representatives at the beginning of each Congress for the last twenty years since 1997. The 2017 and 2015 versions were sponsored by Rep. Rogers, the 2013 version by Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia, and the 1997 through 2011 versions were sponsored by Rep. Ron Paul of Texas (all Republicans).
In each case, the most recently submitted "American Sovereignty Restoration Act" bill has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs (also known as the House Committee on International Relations) and languished there without ever being passed or brought to a vote.
