BTW - I don;t think the recent emphasis on jw.org means the demise of any of the corporate entity name Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, the publication Watchtower or the religious denomination Jehovah's Witnesses

using these terms interchangeably is confusing to me - a website, a religion, a corporate entity and a magazine are all different things

Baptism is a risk says JW.org - New YouTube video

by RayPublisher in

i've been working on this one for a few weeks and it is finally done.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inmzhysxa-o.

here's the description from the youtube video:.

baptism is a risk!

besty

Ray - if you feel that the Watchtower quote

"Some parents consider their children’s baptism as a beneficial step that involves risk—much like getting a driver’s license."

can be paraphrased to

"Baptism is a risk says JW.org"

then you should brush up on your critical reading skills - I think the paraphrase is inaccurate and incorrectly attributed to the wrong entity.

just my 0.02 - I don;t want you to lose credibility with your audience, or worse - end up with the wrong audience - see Rick Fearon for details of train crash activism where nobody with 2 brain cells believes anything he says.

i hope this link works but there has been virtually no sunspot activity since the beginning of this year and the suns magnetic field is down 60%.. if this link does not work, you might like to try googling: sunspot activity 2008 iceage.. the last time this happened we moved into a little ice age which lasted from 1100 to 1800.. global warming lies may well have met their match with reality.. so how will they tax us for the 'ice age?

do we get our tax back that we paid because of 'global warming'.. is this why they have made fuel so expensive....because they know what is coming and they want to make a killing?.

its interesting when you look back and see that they have been pushing this denier meme consistently each and every year for some time now...

even if the UK was entering a mini Ice-Age it wouldn;t change the facts around global warming or climate change - neither of those bodies of knowledge suggest that everyone globally will get to wear shorts and t-shirt all year.

Hyperlinking to a specific post in a thread

by besty in

if you want to post a link to a specific post its quite easy (thanks jeffro for making this obvious for me).

every thread has a general url which will take you to the top of page 1 for that thread eg.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/266550/1/atheists-what-is-the-best-argument-for-god#.uos8aupdu4q.

besty

haha - a new way of dissing people on JWN is born

quote their own words back to them with the exact link, and change the hyperlink text to better reflect your agenda - genius....

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/266550/1/Atheists-what-is-the-best-argument-FOR-God#.Uos8AUpdU4Q

The key to linking to a specific post is to identify that post number and replace it over the top of the last bit of the thread URL after the #

eg http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/266550/2/Atheists-what-is-the-best-argument-FOR-God#4886611

Note that you also have to change the page number to the page matching the post you are linking to.

Identifying the post number is easy - mouseover the 'edit post' icon and look for the post number at the bottom of your browser window - it will reveal the URL including the post number - naturally you wont be able to edit someone elses post so dont bother clicking it unless you like getting error messages.

Hope that helps!

ray if I could just suggest your title is inaccurate

jw.org does not say baptism is a risk - it says ' some parents think "baptism is a risk" '

jw.org does not say anything in fact - jw.org is a domain name, but that would be getting all tenth of a mint on you :-)

keep going with the videos though - it all helps!

Florida teacher suspended over [JW] kids Pledge of Allegiance

by AndersonsInfo in

http://www.azcentral.com/news/free/20131106florida-teacher-suspended-over-kids-pledge-allegiance.html?odyssey=obnetwork.

associated presswed nov 6, 2013 3:34 pmspring hill, fla. a florida school district has suspended a teacher after requiring a fourth grade jehovahs witness to participate in the pledge of allegiance.. the tampa tribune (http://bit.ly/1arwmom) reports that the hernando county school board recently concluded an investigation.. the student, who is jehovahs witness and prohibited by the religion from worshiping objects, refused on religious grounds, the investigation found.. officials said teacher anne daigle-mcdonald twice placed the students hand over his heart when the class recited the pledge.. the student told mcdonald during the incident that jehovahs witnesses do not worship objects, and that he stood during the pledge of allegiance out of respect for the country, but was not permitted by his religion to place his hand over his heart, according to the investigation.. after the student informed mcdonald of this, mcdonald went to the front of the class and said, if you dont want to say the pledge, you still have to put your hand on your heart and if you dont want to do that, you should move out of the country, according to the report.. the report also shows mcdonald said something about there not being a religion that prohibits doing the pledge, according to the investigation.. the district says that mcdonald violated a host of state education rules, professional conduct principles and the students right to free speech and freedom of religion.

several other students in the class corroborated the allegations, according to the investigation.. mcdonald was removed from student contact, and placed on alternative assignment on sept. 12.. while speaking to administrators at the school on that date, mcdonald said she thought the religion applied only to holidays, but said she did not attempt to contact the students parents for clarification, according to the report.. the investigation showed that she also said she didnt think it was good practice to regularly place hands on students, and that she feels strongly as a citizen of the united states that one should show respect to the flag.. superintendent lori romano ordered mcdonald be suspended five days without pay, reported the incident to florida department of education and ordered mcdonald provide proof of completion of diversity training..

Yep - they love freedom of religion, until you want to leave.
