How do you validate users to make sure they are genuine?
There is a registration form that needs to be filled out in order to users and password protected login. All users also need to also send in by facsimile an up to date identification document (typically a dpa "blood" card)
How on earth are they going to check that the "blood" card is genuine?

I'm not sure about US laws but in Europe that would be illegal as it is discriminatory against other religions.
Update - just looked at their website and it states that Europe will follow in 2011/12 and the UK in March 2011!!!
I'm positive this would be illegal in countries in the EU. After all, the couple who ran the B&B who wouldn't let the gay couple stay were found guilty of discrimination and insurers in Europe will soon no longer be able to charge different rates for car insurance for men and women.
well, im off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.
two days of sheer joy and missed sports!
!two days of the same twenty or so brothers giving talks(it's who you know so i am told) and demonstrations, reminding us of how much they enjoy god bothering people on a saturday.
@jambon - happy memories of the Brunton Hall then?!? Same elders and families upevery time - boring! Although, the highlight for me was usually ice-cream from DiRollos .
@Dold - nothing wrong with your spelling. It's as good (if not better) than a lot of native English speakers
note: mature language/content warning.
the youtube video below is a 'best of' compilation from a british tv show called 'the scheme'.
i'm told it's like a scottish version of 'jersey shore'.
fantastic programme. They had to delay the third episode as someone was arrested and ended up awaiting trial. I'm Scottish (East coast) and had difficulties in understanding the accents (West Coast).
reality79 here, hailing from the uk!
i've made a couple of posts but didn't introduce myself.. my story is a looooong one.
i'm a faded jw and have been inactive for a while now.
Welcome reality
Your experience is one that is repeated on here all too often and one that many of us completley understand. You'll find lots of support on here (I know I have).
so its been a whomping 5 months since i stopped going to the meetings!!
yay!!!.
and its amazing how quickly i have let go of everything!!.
I know the feeling! In the big cities in the UK there is a network called city socialising where people organise events and other members can go. You meet loads of different people. It might seem daunting at first but social clubs are fantastic!
recently there has been mention of assemblies with credit card machines for contributions.
it was also mentioned on the last six screens call i think at the stanley theatre.
has any one seen this taking place?
I recall seeing them about 4 or 5 years ago at a circuit assembly in England.
Personally, I find it in bad taste. Particularly when they get up on the same platform and start going on about not having debt etc!
has anyone else seen this email?
i thought i would pass it along.... .
dear friends, .
Betsy, if the email was written by a beth-hellite do you really expect them to know where Scotland is?
we interrupt your forum posting for this 'just in' item...... it appears an elder has not locked his doctor's bag and a member of the conscious class has brazeningly swiped & scanned a copy of the s-55e.
(((thank you anonymous cc jw!.
for the purpose of our bethel audience i want to assure you no actual elder was willingly involved in the obtaining of this scan.. link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mnf7a0.
I like the part about good medical insurance. How on earth do they expect the window washers and janitors to afford this??????
i'm wondering how any of your parents responded when you disassociated yourself with a letter.. should i do so?
i'm wondering how my parents will react since i'm moving in with my uncle just in time..
Is it possible for you to fade for a while before you DA? You sound as though you need to get into a position where you are able to support yourself financially before going for it.
