  Alternative Watchtower

  heres a thought expereiment.. what do you think the watchtower would be like if it had started in europe instead of america.. in europe at the time of the 1800's you had an interesting period of social, political and scientific change.

  womens rights movenment were making strides in bettering their standing in society.

  many religious institutions welcomed darwins explanation of evolution over time.. how do you think this back drop would have influenced the religions precursers and founders?

  New magazine Carts

  news from my wife from the recent meeting is that our congregation will be recieving 2 new magazine carts for market witnessing.

  we live in a small market town in north yorkshire and have regular street markets.. the congregation is small (75+ publishers, -1 now) so it seems that this is being rolled out pretty conprehensivly now to all congs.

  i still have no info as to whether each congregation has to purchase these from the hq or costings per unit..

  so i have another visit from the elder this week.

  this time they want to speak with my wife, still a believer and myself.

  i think they want to know my position about my children attending the meetings and some other things.. while preparing myself for it i though of a challenge for the elders and my wife.
