I find that hard to believe! That is fast growth for an non-English language in the UK to hire out a whole arena complex beating the English! LOL. Unbelievable!

Thank you Darkspilver for pointing that out. I have lost track of what is going on in Britain as I no longer live there and I tend to focus more on Polish than any languages. Never knew that there were meetings in Slovak and Lithuanian though I can confirm that Polish were established a lot longer in the East European language field that is.

Slimboyfat: There is currently 5 circuits in Scotland namely Angus No 1, Ayrshire No 1, Fife No 1, Lanarkshire No 1 and Midlothain No 1. The letter mentions that there will be 6 new circuits in Scotland so this suggest a 6th new one is to be formed but I can't see where the progress and increase is coming from. The foreign language field is the only one that is increasing at the moment. Just look at the number of foreign language conventions that are taking place in 2018 in which some languages are having for the first time such as Japanese, Slovak and Lithuanian.

Wifibandit: Thank you so much for the letter and to the one who leaked it in the first place.

Returning to the truth.

hi i am just starting to rebuild my relationship with jehovah.

.

i would like to hear from people who may be or have been in similar situations and now want to dedicate their lives to him..

Here is expressing my own view and opinion of the matter. Please don't waste you time in the organization of JW's. You don't know life outside the box only inside once your back in and that is where the danger lies. I hate the fact that they think they are the only ones going to be saved. Please do research before commencing your journey back to the fold. Here are some links for you:

I wish you peace and love on your road to freedom and discovery.

Manchester, New Moston Congregation Charity Commission case.

by freddo in

we have had a week or so of occasional national news and certainly local news about this case in north west england.

it is on the government charity website too.. is anyone able to furnish the forum with any information about how it is being perceived in the local community - especially the local jw's?.

or anywhere else?.

That is very interesting and why not I wonder? That is very strange not to be in the printed version.
