Has a single mistake brought down the Mormon Church?
Or the Christadelphian Church? Christian Scientists? Seventh Day Adventists? Any Church?
Hmmmm . . .
It's not gonna happen.
Individuals will however come to personal conclusions.
with decisions by bankers etc bringing down financial systems, other situations decisions have had wie ranging consequences makes one wonder if a single decision could bring things down.

I wouldn't know what "declaration" you have to make to become a member, but I can tell you that there is no restriction on who can use the fascilities.
gives me shivers.
let's just call it for what it is: a big damnlie!!!!!.
any other good names?
I don't.
Very first thing I "unconditioned" myself from.
have posted this on the other thread but just making this one as well:
i need to let you know that dad passed away this morning at 8am.
he fought so hard but in the end they could not get his blood pressure to rise and he died of heart failure.
So sorry.
Our thoughts are with you.

please do not try it - the balance of the thread will explain.
i am locking this thread and letting it fade away, but those who read it should see that there are some problems by some that i did not experience before i posted the thread.
i have notified admin to address the email/identity issues.
OK I'm confused!
This post has been duplicated on JWN but I can't seem to post or logon there
I take it it's not totally live yet?

Someone help me out!

I find the "folk" tag one of the most confusing as I like quite a bit of the stuff here but I wouldn't classify it as folk - Alison Krauss being an example.
I normally lump them all together as (mainly) acoustic singer songwriters.
Here's a couple . . .

jwd will soon be morphing into jwn, and this game may be left behind.. can everybody please join and play before it does?.
today's topic is music.. i think you'll like it.. sylvia.
Why would it be left behind Sylvia?
It's not directly linked - I wish everyone would use the same names there as here though!
so, my jw wife and i are having breakfast at our favorite restaraunt this morning and i mention that my workplace has a food bank to help homeless and needy families with meals.
our waitress cuts in and says she has some food that she would like to donate and asked if i could take them for her.
i agreed.
Yes they are in several pubs in every town too but they don't like to talk about that either LOL
according to the december 2008 kingdom ministry jehovah's witnesses reached an all time peak number of publishers and pioneers in august 2008. .
onwards and upwards... .
There doesn't appear to be a figure anywhere in this thread . . .
So what is this peak? I'm so out of touch I've no idea what the UK figure is.
As has been said - only the average publisher figure is worth bothering about as a true representation of the number of JWs.
So does anyone have these figures?
Following on from Besty, unless they've changed it since I left over 9 years ago the British Isles figure (I'm sure that's what the WT says) is actually England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland which is part of the UK/GB/British Isles is actually lumped in with The Republic of Ireland's figures as they both report to he Dublin Branch Office.
