Can you sense how people are changing in your countries?

Where I live it’s definitely getting worse.  More violent crimes even very local to me and drugs are a big problem.

When I was growing up in the 60s you heard of this place in America where people got shot in broad daylight and almost every day there was a murder: The Bronx

 

What we got was only a single sided version of this place (as is usually the case with the media and film) I used to think of myself in that 'place' and wonder if I would ever go out of the front door!

 

Now.. Here in Birmingham (UK) people get stabbed or shot almost every day. It is not even reported as a 'new thing' ; just run of the mill life. The Radio and TV reports get seconds; not minutes

 

Do we stay indoors all day?.. of course not. You have to live and go about your business and just be sensible when and where you go... So the Bronx is now Birmingham.

May I ask how do the apologists of the religion of peace in Birmingham come to terms with Jehovah's Witnesses? Do they view them with disdain as they do with most of Christendom's followers, or more neutral? Is there trolley service there in public squares at all?

Hi Ruben

 

Your reply is too cryptic for an old man   who are the 'apologists of the  religionists of peace'?

 

Trolley Service in the City? The Carts? Yes we do. Metropolitan Witnessing is doing well.. There are the inevitable ruffling of feathers but it is relatively peaceful.
