  Is there a 'dark mode' available for this site?

  by ProdigalApostate in

  2. tech-support

  i view this site on my mobile browser and would prefer to use it in dark mode (white text on black background).

  dark mode helps conserve battery on an oled display used on most phones.

  how do i enable it for this site?

  The popularity fad of home-schooling!

  i know this has been discussed over the years on this forum, but i just had to post this again!.

  it seems that the popular fad amongst the "spiritual" ones in the local circuits is to home school their children instead of sending them to school.. now to clarify, we are in a very nice area of semi rural australia .

  one with very community minded, and strong family values.

  Home schooling is good for children with disabilities. It helps them focus on learning and not deal with the social anxiety of attending school. They may face the fear of being bullied and failing in school because the teachers do not have the time or the resources to help them. There are well structured home school programs that could greatly help the child if followed strictly. The Calvert school program is one such example.

  They do not carry WT literature and are much more casually dressed. They usually sit at public places, at a park, a mall, they do not go knocking door to door. They start up an informal conversation about the weather or current events to get a conversation going and eventually divert it to the 'good news'. They may pull out a bible and quote from it, but it is usually a translation that is not banned. For Witnesses who are not a resident in the banned country, they would also need to carry their passport at all times and be prepared to provide such identification to the authorities and be deported. This is based on my experience with Witnesses who are banned in Singapore. Not sure about other countries and their methods.
