The new facilities at Chelmsford will not include a printery and we will discontinue printing at Mill Hill toward the end of March 2018. Therefore, if you would like to see the MAN Roland press we would encourage you to visit before then.
I'm genuinely astonished!
WTF is the point of Chelmsford. Can anybody link to the original publicity about plans for Chelmsford?

Confirmation that there will be no printing done in the UK after March 2018
ok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.
without her consent.
so that would seem to be rape...right?.
According to the Luke's account of the myth Mary consented in advance.
Is it more likely a virgin gave birth or a Jewish girl lied?
"i am the way and the truth" said jesus.
also "speak truth to you neighbor and put away false hood".. this reverence for truth in christianity also leads to its undoing in the information age of science and technology.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nihilism.
nihilism is often associated with the german philosopher friedrich nietzsche, who provided a detailed diagnosis of nihilism as a widespread phenomenon of western culture.
I go by reason
That is clearly the last thing on your list of priorities.

Venus I absolutely do not believe that life is meaningless. Stop misrepresenting my position.

Venus you proudly live an evidence - free life. That is your choice.
I choose to ground my beliefs in reality. It is disconcerting to many people who need to believe there is a meta-narrative but the only explanation that fits with the facts is "shit happens".

There is no master plan.
Seeing patterns where none exist is an evolved trait.
Brokeback it would have been interesting if you had explained your idea in your own words. Nobody cares to plough through a copy-paste from Wiki.
In way do you think one leads to the other exactly?
it's a deja vu from matthew..."for nation shall rise against nation.....".
it seem that periods of instability occur around the world periodically.
since the arab spring to brexit and trumpism people want change.
Spain ought to grant a free and fair referendum with a sensible time frame to allow for a debate.
In such a huge decision I would be in favour of a majority of 60% of votes to trigger a positive outcome - yes I do think that should have applied to Brexit as well.
have any of you heard some theories from jws that are not based on scripture?
i have, in the past few days, heard a couple that have me shaking my head.. first one is that since satan was around during the creation period and probably watched on as things were being made, it is possible that he is responsible for the creation of some of the more hideous and nasty creatures that live among us.
surely god wouldn't make horrible things.. second one is that satan already had a bad attitude before the creation of adam and eve and was collecting followers among the other angels early on and stirring trouble.
"If the all powerful god controls satan he is an accomplice, and if he doesn't, he is not an all powerful god." - Friedrich Nietzsche
i'd like to show you a short video i made about exjw activism in poland.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt3qdtyxgd8.
i'm one of the people responsible for those information campaigns/protests, so you can ask me anything you like.
there's a lot i didn't show on the video because of the limited time i have for editing, i have tons of footage more.
Excellent work, thanks for sharing. I think your professional approach is exemplary, activists I have seen in other countries could learn a lot from this.
Can I please make one minor criticism? One of my pet hates is the way JWs involve their children in public proselytising. I would suggest that ex-JW activists avoid doing the same thing even if it is something that the children enjoy.
Really encouraging to see how well the Polish public react to your work. Keep it up.
