Nope! I had grave doubts about witness teachings even as a kid JW. My doubts centered around the blood issue, the killing off of mankind at armageddon, the subjection of women and disfellowshipping. Now, half a century later, I see that those doubts were sufficient to ease my passage out of dubdom.

All I see now is a divided Scotland and an England united in their determination to have the same benefits as have been promised to Scotland.

The UK is a nuclear power. It keeps its weapons in Scotland. They'll have to be moved or destroyed, the Scots don't want to be part of a nuclear partnership. That could affect the US and other countries too.

On Tattoos
by tim hooper intattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid.
your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together.
your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless.

I suppose a ship's propellor tattooed on each cheek of my bottom might help push me forward. I saw that once when a sailor dropped his pants in a crowded bar.

Yep - to each his own. But not everyone realises how ghastly tattoos can look years later. I know a really pretty woman in her 50's who had a tattoo across her front shoulder and breast about 25 years ago. Now it looks like a big blue blot, as though her ink pen has leaked!

Don't do it. Tattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid. Your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together. Your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless. Not only will tattoos become quickly out of date but they'll sag and distort along with your skin. Just look at someone in their 60's with tattoos and you'll see what I mean.

Rebranding of the Watchtower to JW.org - how long in the works?
by truthseeker inthe transformation from watchtower to jw.org is nothing short of remarkable.. animated cartoons (caleb and sophia), the new jw.org slogan, international convention websites (featuring previously unthinkable entertainment in the kingdom hall) - how long do you think this has been in the works for?.
i feel very uneasy about what is happening - it's so sudden, seems like it all happened within the space of a year.. i sense some intelligence about all this, as if it has been some carefully orchestated performance - to dazzle and distract.. the kingdom ministry of 1999 was totally against the internet and now they seem to embrace it along with tablets and smartphones.. why the sudden change?
do you think it is anything to do with social media?.

I did a job for someone last month who turned out to be a JW. He actually printed off some stuff that he assumed could be appropriate for me from the JW org site. He never mentioned the WT mag at all, just kept referring to the site.

Tricky. Southampton General is, IMHO, a pretty crappy hospital when it comes to communication. And if you see your child apparently not being given the care / consideration that it's entitled to, then it's quite likely you'd just walk rather than spend hours justifying why you're removing your child. On the other hand, the CPS spokesman says they have information on the parents that they're not prepared to divulge just yet. We're missing a lot of esential info here.
