  Thanks Blondie...always love your insights!

  Password and bobid, you took the words out of my mouth. Mormons seem to be much more successful in their conversion rates than JW's. Why the WT continues to torpedo their own line of reasoning with facts that can actually be turned back around on them continually amazes me. Maybe the reason people remember JW's more than Mormons has to do with the persistent and boring message that they are bombarded with. If it were so compelling, why is the conversion rate so low? As bobid points out, if JW's wanted to make a bigger impact, they would use the newer media methods available such as TV, internet, etc. Oh wait...that might allow the bearers of the message to be exposed to apostate ideas!

  RULES & REGULATIONS

  Blondie.......Great study as usual!

  I attended yesterday's Watchtower meeting and found how dishonest the WTS really is.

  In paragraph1,I found that if you read Acts:10:22,34-48 the apostles were ordered to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ not ordered to preach.

  Then Peter said, 47 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

  Also in your opening statement you asked:Why does the WTS reference only one outside source and why that one?

  Paragraph 6 they reference one scholar (who had an extensive analsis of the Christian Greek Scriptures) that Paul went preaching "house to house". What didn't they name this scholar? MAYBE....JUST MAYBE.....there wasn't a real Scholar but just the writing department making it up.

  Then in paragraph 11,they name a book written by David G. Stewart who states how Jehovah's Witnesses missionary work has proven to be more effective than abstract,theoretical(urgings from pulpits).
