  Brilliant! I know one or two in Uxbridge.

  Interesting to see a CO's wife milking her status. (pun intended)

  Would she still have a blog if she wasn't on the circuit, one wonders?

  Another non-JW reacts to Sparlock video

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ssv2nh0rc.

  and two weeks ago i highlighted another video where sparlock helped an ex-mormon.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmesmlhydru.

  though it still depresses me to think of all the young ones (including my own relatives) falling under the influence of this dangerous piece of propaganda, it's at least some small comfort that the sparlock video is backfiring so dramatically among thinking non-jws.. .

  Lurkers/faders in the US - a heads up on next week's service meeting (Warwick HQ project to be discussed)

  by cedars in

  hi folks.

  atlantis has very kindly let me see a copy of the aug 21, 2013 letter to all bodies of elders in the united states.. they are being instructed to re-organize the service meeting for the week commencing september 2nd (next week) to include a special recruitment talk to attract skilled volunteer workers for the new warwick hq.. an interesting feature of the letter is its comparison of the project with nehemiah's rebuilding of the walls of jerusalem.

  considering the relocation of hq is financially motivated more than anything, the analogy is more than a little bewildering.. here is a scan of the opening comments of the two-page outline, to be given in the next local needs item.... .

  This girl's small-mindedness is pathetic... "So what if this cartoon is manipulative? At least it doesn't affect me! Anyway, kids will do what they want when they grow up."
