at the end of april, there was a zone visit in france, with tv broadcast in all kh.. g. losch told he received a letter from a girl, 10 years old, baptised at 5, reg pioneer since 4 years !
what a fine example, he said....... let s imagine the faces of the parents in the kh!
i was happy to see i was not the only one to find it crazy.. if you have a child, you know how mature he is at 5. how can a child preach 2.5hours/day after 7hours of school and homework to do??
This is awful!
Growing up without a childhood. My biggest pet peeve in this organization. Why can't Jesus' example be followed in this regard?
Let people make a conscious decision once maturity is reached. Why would such a life-altering choice be made when a person is not fully developed?
No different than the baptism of infants in other religions. No difference at all!!!
Parents and legal guardians of these poor ignorant children are to blame for this tragedy.

i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!
but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.
i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).
Lett sounds like a clown talking to retarded children. Most condescending and belittling tone of voice. It took all my self-control to make it through the whole presentation.

i have been brought up as a jehovah witness and want to date this boy who isn't a jehovah's witness.
we have talked about the trials we could go through and i was wondering because i am a unbaptised publisher could i date him without any consequences?
Dating the JW way and 'dating' the normally accepted way are 2 very totally different animals. Yes, as soon as you are found out, you will lose your publishing privileges and become 'marked' by them, bad association if you will. Are you up to this task?
Consider if the high is worth the pain, then proceed.

In the Spanish congs I mingle in, not a peep about this nonsense. The vast majority of us are immigrants, so any extra goes to our families here in the USA or abroad or to help our follow-up generation do better than ourselves.
If those idiots in NY have spent incorrectly all the funds already given to them, then tough luck jerks! Have enough with all the contributions sent by the congs monthly and all the moneys sent every single time there is an assembly. Greedy bastards!

so, as well reported, the latest jw broadcasting show is all about giving money.
as far as the wt society goes they have been pretty candid about there not being enough funds to meet the expenditure.
there are plenty of views on if this is really the case or not but underlying this is why are they spending so much money?.
So we have no tithing, but are always asking for $$$. Same thing!!!

hey so i'm new on here.

Just do not answer your door, or simply walk away without saying a word if approached in public. So many of us want just that reaction, I welcome it even.
A vast percentage of JWs do this busy work only to satisfy requirements of this religion. Believe me, I will never make another convert for this Org.
Knowing TTATT is the best!!!

its easy to look around and say if a singular all powerful were real he would stop the suffering of man and animal, a position i support.
however there is another even more basic premise i have pondered at times as well (im sure im not the first of course) : would any loving parent ever hide from their children?
consider it... our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him.
I sure cannot understand this temperamental, maniacal deity; only pure speculations.

the may broadcast on tv.jw.org.
we need money!.

Well, they do have to pay lawsuit settlements, and the ones still pending plus any other future ones.
Nope! Me no give one more extra red cent! Only what is fair for the local expenses. Let the COs give half of all 'green handshakes' they receive weekly from the 'men worshippers' in the congs; that should suffice.
God needs money!!!

If the biblical account is correct on this issue, God is allowing humans the time to realize we need him. He has pulled back control, blessings, etc., which would have our lives and universe running the way he intended it.
Satan, his followers, and mankind wanted independence from the Creator. Okay, have independence, but it is not going to work! Of course, all this according to biblical notion.
Some day the creator will take back the power and things will be as originally designed. If this is so, I sure would like the opportunity to experience the divine plan for humanity.
Who really knows. One can only dream and speculate. Of one thing I feel certain, though: We humans have created most problems for ourselves and others; it is just easy put blame elsewhere.
