so--all those jw's from very different countries--decided to come to the UK--presumably for a better life ? so much for the new system arriving in their home country any time soon.

The Amazing Teeth of the Great White Shark
by LoveUniHateExams ingreat white sharks are able to subdue and eat almost anything they come across, thanks to their amazing teeth.
consider: the great white shark (carcharodon carcharias) needs to catch and process food in order to survive.
its teeth are remarkable, being arranged in rows and rows that move forward, like a conveyor belt, so that these animals always have a full set of functioning teeth at any one time.. furthermore, the shape of this shark's teeth changes throughout its life.

how do you define "group" as opposed to "congregation " i find it difficult to believe there are that many immigrant jw's in the UK. maybe a dozen in a large city.

the ratio in the UK--in the '60s was 1 in 800+.
i moved to the isle of wight in 1971. the ratio here was 1 in 400--over double the national average.

back in the 60's--the total for the UK was about 60,000---i heard a circo say "the british field is dead"
on the subject of immigration---it is now very expensive--and difficult-- for NON EA people to emigrate to the UK. my wife is filipina--so i know what i'm talking about! i am surprised there are 8 filipino congregations in the UK.

in the UK--the magazines sold for 4 pence--pre decimalisation money. pioneers paid a penny each. i had a big magazine route--and the 75% profit paid for my petrol ( gas )
i remember when the black gold edged new world bible came out--we pioneers made a good profit on those. and thats all we were--door to door salesmen.

My Dad wants to study with me
by BlackWolf inso my parents continue to pester me about getting baptized.
the other day my dad told me that i was old enough to make a decision, and was wondering why i wasn't ready (assembly is in a few weeks) so i told him calmly that i have many doubts and if i were to get baptized it has to be 100 percent my idea.
he was a little annoyed by this, and now wants to study the "is there a creator that cares about you" book (which is complete bs) with me.
