  Odd place for an assemblyIn

  by InquiryMan in

  2. beliefs

  in the african country of lesotho, one of the two assemblies will take place in "holy trinity hall".

  witnesses can be quite pragmatic.

  remember we had to rent room in a community building for our kingdom hall... it was fun when they talked about the paganism of christmas and a christmas three was placed in the corner.. i wonder if witnesses have deposits in the banco espirito santo... .

  banco espirito santo means: Bank of the Holy Spirit.

  I intended the post to be somewhat ironic/humerous.

  i am considering getting couples counseling for the jw boyfriend and i. he's open to it.

  he got help himself for an issue recently, but it was in the short term, and it went well for him.

  i want to know if we started going regularly, and his mentor got wind of it, what are the jw views on mental health help?

  This was an interesting link. And I found quite surprising and a sign of somehow opening up a bit to the outside world.

  I gues this might end up being a one page article in Awake ;-)

  i found this interesting news on motherhood in the us vs other countries.. a woman in the us has a pregnancy death risk that is five times h igher than a woman living in bosnia, greece or italy, and ten times as big as an irishi woman, states the report on motherhood in various countries.. on child mortality_ eight in a thousand children in the us dies before the age of five, placing us on the same level as slovakia and montenegro.. an american child has twice the chance of daying before it is five than a child in finland, iceland, sweden or singapore.. only 61 per cent of children in the usa attend a kindergarten, making the united states number seven among developing countries, counting from the bottom that is.

  no other industrialialised country has such a bad mother maternity arrangement as the us (considing both the length and salary).

  norway is the country which has the honor of being number 1 on being a mother.. the maternity leave is currently at at 44 weeks with full salary (based on your job before the pregnancy.

  Sorry for not being a native American fluent writer ;-).

  Writing daying was of course intended to be dying..

  Some of these words are somehow difficult to translate, that ´s why I might have chosen a wrong phrase of describing things...

  Sorry about that.

  The study was published by a Norwegian organization, however in English, so I therefore provide the link

  I found this interesting news on motherhood in the US vs other countries.

  A woman in the US has a pregnancy death risk that is five times h igher than a woman living in Bosnia, Greece or Italy, and ten times as big as an Irishi woman, states the report on motherhood in various countries.

  On child mortality_ Eight in a thousand children in the US dies before the age of five, placing US on the same level as Slovakia and Montenegro.

  An American child has twice the chance of daying before it is five than a child in Finland, Iceland, Sweden or Singapore.

  Only 61 per cent of children in the USA attend a kindergarten, making the United States number seven among developing countries, counting from the bottom that is. No other industrialialised country has such a bad mother maternity arrangement as the US (considing both the length and salary).
  
  Norway is the country which has the honor of being number 1 on being a mother.

  The maternity leave is currently at at 44 weeks with full salary (based on your job before the pregnancy. It is a maxium of the salary-compensation). If one opts for 80 per cent coverage the duration is 54 weeks. A minimum of six of those weeks are to be taken by the father of the child. The parents can split the time as they want.

  For those who are not working prior to the pregnancy (rather uncommon in Norway), a single amount of 35.009 are paid to the mother (that is roughly 6000 US dollars).

  an elegantly dressed lebanese woman in a black and white chanel suit stood up and offered her seat to a philippine domestic worker, "please sit, i'll go look for more chairs.".

  the unusual scene in lebanon, where wealthy locals more often than not abuse and exploit migrant workers from asia, was at an undercover jehovah's witnesses congregation just outside of beirut.. .
