dozy: It's probably about time that the circuits were renamed as the names dated back to the 50's when there were far fewer congregations so are often misnamed from a geographical standpoint
Ignoring the positive spin. I think the above would seem to be the real reason.
Circuits are traditionally named after the County they are in. Breaking out of this artificiality will enable circuits to be more efficiently organised, crossing over county borders, often enabling circuits to be better arranged for the CO to visit and for assemblies to be assigned.
The WT have, at last, realised they need to do a 'root and branch' exercise, rather than just fiddle with the boundaries, like they've normally done in the past.
Even without losing any congregations, it may be possible, due to more efficient boundary planning, enable them to reduce the number of circuits by 1 or even 2.

freddo: Well... sad man that I am I had a look on jwborg and counted up the present number of congregations in Scotland
Wow - you can also check out the Scottish Charity Commission - it appears they list 110, though three are not congregations - so that's a pretty good match with your figure.

Is it true the society were considering disfellowshipping overweight people in the 1980s?
by UnshackleTheChains ini just saw the video below and thought 'no way' !!!.
but then given the obsessive amount of rules they have, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that this was at least considered.
if there is some credibility to this, then they most certainly have gone beyond the pale!.

_Morpheus: Actually it is CURRENTLY a df’ing offense.
It's not a DF'ing offense, per se...
The df'ing offense is actually gluttony...
which, of course, is one of the seven deadly sins...

Reposting old posts as new
by steve2 ini cannot find the report feature on the forum or has it been removed?.
in the past week or so poster jehovah lol appears to have re-posted as new his topic on jw talk.
i have checked and the posts are identical - perhaps not a big deal, but it's a little like internal spam.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

compound complex: never went through the three processing steps
It doesn't need too - just the first 'upload' one is sufficient - it will then either appear straight-away, or if you've been posting too much, or too quickly, it'll be queued to appear later.

It seems to have popped up in the last hours, so around 14:00 EST (Wed, Dec 13, New York) - lets see if another of your queued threads appears within the next 24 hours...
