Shit that's disappointing.
Still it sounds like you have a plan. This time next year you will be getting pissed in the student's union!

30I sent off my application to study Palaeobiology (MSc) at Bristol uni and ...
by LoveUniHateExams in... they've accepted me!
finance is already sorted - they're waiting for me to give them my new student number so that they can start paying me.
just need to formally accept bristol's offer and sort out accommodation.. accommodation should be ok - i've been told priority is given to new students, plus i'm enrolling onto a program for a real degree as a postgraduate - i won't be studying gender studies or some crap like that.

Dirt Fishing - Latest Coin Finds
by cofty init's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.
the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.
it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.

haha that's priceless! I wish I had thought of that years ago when my two were young.
Maybe that's what happened in 1610?

Tonight another James I penny. That's two identical coins from the same field. Somebody had holes in their pockets in 1610. Notice the Scottish thistle on one side below a crown and an English rose on the other indicating the Union of Crowns of Scotland and England that happened in 1603 with the death of Elizabeth I

EU Court Ruling Against WT on Data-Protection
by cofty intoday's london times reports on the july ruling of the eu court that forces the organisation country to comply with data protection.. the action originated in finland but the ruling will affect every eu country.
the cult tried unsuccessfully to argue that the notes taken by jws in the door-to-door work were personal and not accessed by the congregation.
the court ruled that they are acting under the auspices of the congregation and therefore they must comply with data-protection laws.. keeping lists of do-not-calls also falls under this ruling.. why does the cult always feel that it is above the law?.

Paul didnt write most if them. He dictated - Morph
There is no evidence of that. However a number of letters attributed to Paul are forgeries by other unknown 1st century authors.

What difference does that make?

several months ago, they were already forms sent out to congregation members requesting their permission to store and use their information. - Doubty
The EU ruling was not about the congregation collecting information about its members. The cult is already compliant in that regard.
It was a ruling that individual JWs writing down information about householders, Not-homes or Do-not-calls is also covered by the legislation.
The cult were opposing this and have now lost the case in the highest court in Europe. No further legal redress is possible. They must now decide how to change their practices in order to comply.

Doubter - until the cult is fully compliant with the new EU data laws all collection of any information of any sort, in connection with the preaching work anywhere in Europe, in any format is illegal.

My guess is that it will just be ignored and everything will go on as usual - Splash
That will be a very costly mistake.
The EU Court will now require the Data Commissioner of every member state to ensure that the WT organisation in their country is compliant. They will have to register with the commission and I suppose they will need to submit evidence of their new data protection policy and procedures.
Normally this requires people whose data is being collected to be formally informed of what, who and why and to be able to request a copy.
Data is a hot topic in the EU.
The next move needs to be to require all elders to submit to DBS (criminal records) checks. I would actually like to talk to my MP about this.

Overwhelmed
by Freedom rocks indoes anyone else feel overwhelmed on what to believe?.
i've been doing lots of research on beliefs, evolution, creationism but i feel no further forward about what i truly believe.
for example i looked at the fossil record and tiktaalic and thought great it proves a lot but then i've seen counter arguments on youtube of people basically saying its a load of rubbish and doesn't prove anything.
