Why So Many Young People Are Leaving The Watchtower
by Jeremy C ini have been giving a lot of thought to the young people who are leaving the watchtower organization in recent years.
last night, i was reading the thread posted by jwfacts a while back in which he provided some statistics and graphs showing the rapidly declining growth in the watchtower.
one factor that was discussed at length was the high number of young people who do not stay in the organization.

We can't let them get away with it: HAVING IT BOTH WAYS!
by Terry inwhat is the claim of the watchtower society as to the source of their authority to create public messages of dire warning?.
mouthpiece of god.. .
anointed remnant (faithful and discreet slave).

Good post as usual Terry,
I hate it when they use the "apostles had wrong expectations" as an excuse for their blatant false prophecy. When you read the example they alway site (Acts 1:6), there is nothing there that suggest they were preaching false prophecies. Jesus has been preaching a lot of new ideas to the Jews of the day and they were simply trying to clarify what it was that he was saying. It wasn't as if they had been running around the countryside declaring that the kingdom was being restored to Israel right then and there..

Watchtower's view on gambling changed?
by donny ini just got off the phone with my mom and she told me my daughter had told her that the society has recently relaxed its rules on gambling.
she said something about some folks could be a card dealer and a jw.
has anyone heard anything in this regard?.

Thanks for the updates. I would hav ebeen surpirised if such a change had occurred and I not heard about it. I find it amusing how some rules have been "relaxed" since my time in the org. JW's here are going to R rated movies, heavy metal and ghetto rap concerts, attending "Thanksgiving
and "Chritsmas" dinners/parties and going to "hookah" bars (as long as you dont inhale). So why not add a little fun gambling to the mix. -

The Polarizing of America: Rep. Michele Bachmann wins Iowa Straw Poll
by darthfader inhttp://news.yahoo.com/bachmann-wins-gop-2012-test-vote-224544660.html.
minnesota rep. michele bachmann won a test vote of iowans on saturday, a show of strength five months before the state's caucuses kick off the gop presidential nominating season.. the result is the first indication of what iowans think of the field of republicans competing for the chance to challenge president barack obama next fall.
but it's hardly predictive of who will win the winter iowa contest, much less the party nod or the white house.. well... there goes the neighborhood....

Do active JW's understand the "new light" on the feet toes of the staue in Daniel?
by donny incan someone enlighten me as to what is the new understanding vs the old one regarding the vision of the statue was given by god to king nebuchadnezzar of babylon in a dream?
i have asked two of the jw's who work with me and neither of them were able to explain it to me.
the best i got was "well the feet and clay are not just the u.s. and great britain, they are i think most of the big powers as a whole or something like that.".

"Something like that?" This guy is a pretty dedicated witness and just got back from his convention and he admits that it was not all that clear although he thinks he got the basics. So what is this "new light" pray tell?

Can I Please Just Say...
by AGuest inthat it's "jewel-ry"... and not "joo-lery" (may you all have peace!)?
i know, i know... very small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
but, dang, if you're gonna host a television jewelry show, shouldn't you at least be able to say "jewelry"?
