She saw the video at the convention in summer.
So she had all the information at her fingertips from the Borg and from school and made the connection for herself. She's very bright.

Driving Force well done waiting for your daughter to come to you to talk about cults. That takes great patience. You are right to be proud of her. By the way where did she learn about the ice-cream vid, was that at school? -

Great pioneering opportunity but what with starving because of the nuclear winter and the radiation sickness I'd have a hell of a job getting my hours in.

Its weird to me that the people that a month or so ago were railing against Islamic ideology are today tacitly defending it and crying xenophobia because Trump happened to make a comment last week
Who are you quoting? I can't find this quote. Do we have overlapping threads now. The end must be near.

There are seven million Syrian children displaced by this terrible conflict, many of them tiny orphans. They need warm clothes and blankets. If you're in the UK and you donate through UNICEF this winter the British government will double your donation. 👫👬👠-

November Study WT "Train You Child to Love Going Door 2 Door"
by JW_Rogue inbeen catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.
yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?
if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.

Such a waste of time. Get a child to go with you from door to door collecting for charity instead. Tell them it's to build schools for children to have an education and work their way out of poverty. My daughter never forgot doing that and now she lives in the real world with her eyes wide open, with a huge social conscience. -

Well done Simon. our lives are so much about the luck of the draw. Where we're born, the climate or politics of the country we happen to be born into.
A work colleague suggested we collect for the Syrian migrant camp at Calais. We collected toiletries and babies nappies for the Red Cross to distribute. Everyone joined in, we wouldn't have wanted our own kids to go without those things.

Yes my daughter escaped storm Desmond on Monday after forty-eight hours without heat, internet and with only a patchy phone signal. I didn't know how the heck she was going to get home because her local station was flooded. Eventually her university laid on free buses to the next city so the students could catch a train there.
When she got to the front of the enormous ticket queue she was told students that had already purchased tickets for the end of the week could use them early, no extra charge. When she had to change trains an hour and three quarters later the conducter also accepted her wrongly dated ticket because she had travelled from flooded Lancashire. Nice, helpful reasonable people in a difficult time getting kids home safely to their families for Christmas. People are good, that's it.

Tornintwo thank you very much. Yes it's been a stressful day. I'm just glad she can get to a station that's not flooded tomorrow on one of these buses the uni has laid on.
