Regional Identities in the UK - A short guide for Americans
by besty inso the uk is divided into 4 separate countries - the big bit called england that has wales on the side and scotland at the top with northern ireland off on its own island.. each country has multiple cultural identities.
broadly speaking (and i generalize) the wealth of england (and the uk generally) is concentrated in london, the 'rust belt' is in the middle namely birmingham and manchester and the north of england tends to be poorer.. scotland - where i'm from - is culturally rich but economically poor.
there is a long-standing argument about how wealthy scotland could have been if it had been able to keep all the north sea oil revenue instead of sending it to london.

Well said Midwich, hope yam ok, aint eard offov ya for a bit.
Besty, i aint a brummie either!!! I'm from the black country, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, pride of the Midlands!
Sylvia, there is a large Jamaican population in Wolverhampton, there's an Indian population too. I have some fond memories of samosa's and pakora's at the Punjabi assemblies and also of Jamaican bun and cheese, some of the older Jamaican sisters used to make :-)

So, what about Wolverhampton?
Pride of England!
Eventually, someone in the group compared Southerners to folks from Wolverhampton. The implication was, "country folks", uneducated and unsophisticated, etc. All in good humor, of course.
What a croc o' sh*t, we're from the Midlands, not the south, not the north. 'country folks', my a*se. Uneducated??? I'm doing a law degree, don't you know??
Wolverhampton is in the Midlands - which is the Rust Belt of the UK - its like Detroit or something I guess....
Detroit???, what???...get outta here
I wouldn't sterotype Woverhampton like that - its very much an urban area, albeit in decay.
In decay???...have you been to Wolverhampton??....sounds like you're talking about Glasgee
Sylvia, you are more than welcome anytime to sunny Wolverhampton...i'll show you around. Anything you need to know i'll tell you from the horses mouth, instead of listening to these greasy northerners, southern softies or inferior scots :-)
For your parousal..... (we're the one's in Gold and Black)

I would imagine that your state would have something similar to UK law on this.
In this country one partner cannot insist on how the ex brings up the child, so long as it isn't interpretated by a court as abusive.
This also applies to visitation, With reference to religion for instance, one parent cannot insist that the other doesn't take them to a certain church/ religion. For instance if i was a jew and my ex a catholic, she cannot tell me i can't take my kids to the synagogue on a Saturday, if i have them on a Saturday.
Your daughter taking part in a 4th July parade is not up to him, if she is in your care at the time. You can quite easily demonstrate that this is his religious requirement.
What you really have to look at though is whether you're worried he's going to report you to the elders. If you have broken away from the religion, then you need to take a stance on this and stand your own two feet as you're no longer required to be told what to do by anybody.

70 years = 607?
by allelsefails in70 years of captivity?.
i myself have always believed that when archaeology disagreed with the bible the bible must be right.
that is how i dismissed the idea that jerusalem was destroyed in 586/587 bce.

It has been proven over and over again to Scholar that Jerusalem didn't fall in 607 BCE by many 'celebrated JWD scholars'. However Scholar will always listen to the 'celebrated WT scholars' and believe whatever they say instead.

What would it take for you to conclude that the WBTS is not God's channel?
by Mickey mouse ini wondered if you could answer this question for me?
you seem to be fine with the fact that they are false prophets, that they have changed the bible and that they have entered into an agreement to "uphold the aims of the un".. what is the deal breaker for you?.
i suspect that there isn't one, and that is not a reasonable position.. please tell me there is something they could do that would make you question their legitamacy?.

I have found it interesting how a JW defends the organisation on the basis that it is not political and that individuals do not get involved in politics. Yet the reality is that some of the books of the bible were written by Kings, is it therefore reasonable that a Christian should not be involved in politics?
