A lot of the increase in the UK over the past couple of years has been from the Eastern European immigrants particularly from Poland.
I'm just so happy that this is the first year I'm not included in any of that report!

the yummy bars of chocolate! i used to love them! you can get something similar from aldi and lidl now.
i remember the homemade cakes at the circuit assembly too. The food was always the highlight for me as a child - getting a strip of tokens to spend as I liked!

Another JW email making the rounds: Stay in the Beehive
by truthseeker inyawn.... .
stay in the beehive.
one day a young boy was riding in a horse-drawn buggy down a country lane with his father.

how cruel is that! the bee wasn't harming anyone - was going about doing its business by pollinating the flowers and some idiot goes along and knocks it off!
quite sick inducing if you ask me! hated these chain emails when i was in and hate them even more now!

Let the children decide.
by angel eyes inok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.
so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.
last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.

AE - if your kids said they didn't want to go out what would you do? You couldn't leave them at home alone.
For a lot of parents weekends are the only time they can go out - that means taking their kids with them! There are no other options for them!

Do you wear a poppy?
by dozy ini always wished that i could wear a poppy on the run-up to rememberance sunday ( for details on this british commonwealth custom see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/poppy_day ) and often used to buy a poppy but binned it before anyone saw me wearing one.
as i understand it , it is a dfing offence ,though i cant see anything explicity in the wts literature.
anybody who is faded but not dfd worn one and what feedback did you get?.

Going to buy and wear one this year. My grandfather who wasn't a witness couldn't understand why we wouldn't wear them.

AE - I do not for one second think that any elder would approve of your liberal viewpoint. Whilst it is admirable I just can't see any elder condoning it.
From what ATJ has just quoted from the elders book you could very well get df'd for this.
Why don't you tell the elder that knows you come on here and ask his advice on the matter.

All right, do JW's REALLY do not marry outside of their faith?
by dgp ini've been a lurker in this site for some time.
i am not a jehovah's witness, but was here because i wanted to know more about the organization, since i am in love with a jw woman.
she recently rejected me, on the grounds that "she would not risk her relationship with jehovah for someone who would die in (snap fingers)".

The woman your friend married is not baptised and therefore wouldn't be considered a JW by JWs so doesn't count.
It does happen - one of my friends who is a witness recently married a former witness. I know a few people mainly sisters who married "outside the Lord". Doesn't happen very often though.
