Who could have forgotten you Seeker4 ?
I just came back from a 5 weeks stay in France.
The JWs had their summer conventions over there, in only 3 places, compared to 20 last year... the numbers are going down, but they try to hide it. These conventions were covered in the news on national TV in France, I couldn't believe it ! They were saying that there were 250.000 JWs in France. In a newspaper article, it said that this number includes JWs and interested ones. It's more something like 100,000 members, and going down.
Some JWs interviewed were complaining about the fact that France doesn't recognize them as a "religion" and call them a "sect".
Ex-JWs were interviewed too, so that was good.
See you around.
Stopped at the Café for a baguette this morning.

Again, from France...
Today in the local newspaper, a short article about the assemblies of the JWs in France.
Apparently, they're having assemblies in only 3 places in this country this year. Last year they had them in 20 places !
The number 250.000 they like to name is apparently members and interested ones, not all members.
The numbers are going down, but they lie about it. -

So What Sort Of Dogs Are These?
by Englishman ini took this pic last week on the family farm in bonnie scotland.
her ladyship is busily munching on her toast and marmalade whilst 2 of the dogs watch and drool.. my question is this: both the dogs are top pedigree animals and weigh in at 140 pounds each.
can you identify the breed?.

Wow ! I can' believe this. I am in France and right now the JW are having their summer assemblies all over the country. Tonight on 2 national TV channels during the news there was a segment on them and these assemblies. They complain about the way France is treating them, that this country won't recognize them as a "religion". One "elder" type was interviewed, he had two small kids ; he was asked about the blood transfusion issue, and of course he said that Jehovah forbids it and he wouldn't change his mind even if his kids were involved... sickening. They showed a few baptisms in the pool.
An ex-Witness talked, and said that on the surface TJ look like wonderful, loving people. But behind the scenes they have the same problems as anybody else, and everything is taken care of internally, with judicial comitees, and one of the reason he left was that he discovered that pedophilia was happening among the loving brothers and it was hidden from the public.
250,000 JW in France, they said ! I thought it was only 120,000 !
When will people see the light ????? -

Mulan, Hi, What are you doing up at this time of night ? Four in the morning in the USA ? Here it is almost ten-thirty in the morning, glorious day in the mountains. Thanks for your answer.
