  just spotted witnesses handing out brochures like they were going out of fashion this afternoon.

  this was at oxford circus in london (one of the busiest shopping areas of london).

  they were actually getting in the way and had boxes of the rubbish!!.

  They look so uninterested and prefer to talk to each other. They truly are a "happy people"!

  Of course everyone was laden with shopping bags so they were having no success. I must see them about 3/4 times a week just standing there! Easy way to get hours in!

  English Speaking Congregations in Mexico...

  by DATA-DOG in

  has anyone read a letter or heard of english-speaking congos being shut down in mexico?

  an elder told me that this was happening, and that it was based on a "scriptural precedent.

  " sounds like downsizing with a made-up bs reason to me.

  Yes, I have. The english cong was split into two about 2 years ago (maybe slightly less) and have now be merged into one again. Not sure what the official explanation was - family don't talk about witness things to me and this was mentioned in passing.

  Dubbies stopped by

  well just like everyone else, we were visited by 2 old ladies.

  mr. rebel8 was home and it went something like, "we're on a worldwide mission and we wanted to know if we could just leave this in your door.

  " so he said ok and took it (because he knew i'd have fun with it later).. the tract reads like a note i passed to a boy in 1st grade:.

  I got that tract through my door a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe how basic it was!

  I vote for the winter solstice!

  Blood sausage

  by stillin in

  2. beliefs

  while visiting our neighbors across the pond, i visited a butcher store to rustle up something for supper.

  that was the first time i had ever seen blood sausage.

  we just never see it over here in the states.. when a witness leaves the organization over there, do they all eat blood sausage once again?

  I'm sure that Coftys old hall used to be a church. The local KH in London was a church.

  A congregation in Edinburgh sold their hall to a tai chi centre or something similar.

  I'm sure I heard years ago that they wanted to relocate to Milton Keynes. That location makes much more sense logistically!

  It was JWs vs Muslims Today

  by scotinsw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was at the kcal shopping centre this afternoon (london) and the jws were out with their stand and about 30 metres away was a table with some muslims.

  the dubs dubs were engrossed in conversation with each other whilst the muslims were approaching people and looked a hell of a lot happier to be there.

  unfortunately, there was no way for me to get both of them into a picture.
