  What are the WTS leaders planning?

  by doinmypart in

  2. friends

  what are the wts' long term (5+ years) and short term (up to 2 years) plans?.

  the leaders know the end isn't right around the corner despite what they tell the r&f.

  otherwise they would not have built patterson and purchased new presses.. the leaders are faced with mounting problems: declining statistics in developed countries, the internet, lawsuits, etc.

  so, when you talk to people and they start telling you about this, say, "well we, we lost 14, too.

  now how long this is going to stay open we don't know.

  Why Is A "Non-violent" People So Violent To Its Young?

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the anomalies of the jehovah's witness worldview is that it "carries" its non-violence hand-in-hand with some fairly violent practices towards its young ones.

  so, the jehovah's witness father or mother who would reject any involvement in the military or "turn the other cheek" if physically attacked in field service, has no qualms about yanking their noisy child out of the kingdom hall and giving that child a good thrashing (i.e., beating on the buttocks, legs, arms and back) and creating an even greater noise.

  i am not a parent, but over the years of observing parents - and others - hitting children both inside and outside the kingdom hall, it slowly occurred to me just what a barbaric practice this was.
