i'm glad they are becoming their own people and emerging from their grandmother's control.. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/paris-jackson-prince-michael-jackson-jehovas-witness/.
Or, continuing the above thought - go take a really close look at how many JWs are really, truly, doing door to door right now - even when it is required...
I would willingly bet that it is far less than 50% of them.
Back when I was in 35 years ago, I would say that well over half the ELDERS did not actually do it unless the Circuit Overseer was watching.

How is this woman still allowed to go door to door, yet she's had well publicized birthday parties and Christmas celebrations? That's like some pioneer inviting the congregation to their bday and Xmas celebrations, yet they still turn in their hours, I have a feeling the average dub would be in that back room for a private meeting!
Please see my previous comment: It is all about the money. Follow the money. How is the artist formerly known as Prince getting away with what he does? How did Mickey Spillane? The Williams Sisters?
How popular is door-to-door service with the JW rank & file?
That would be easy enough to determine: WT could simply make door-to-door preaching optional.
Then watch and see how many JWs actually continue doing it.
Exactly.
he is accused of performing "abortions" after the birth of live babies.
where does planned parenthood stand on this case?.

Yeah, drew, it is not so much about blaming pro-lifers (who mean well, I'm sure) as it is about connecting the dots - i.e., unintended consequences: if pro-lifers are successful, there will be disastrous consequences.
OK - I am again going to shock the people on the website by agreeing with BizzyBee and Beks on the topic in this limited sense:
If the hard pro-lifers succeed in completely outlawing abortion, then we will have abortion by back-room abortionists who are essentially butchers in hiding, and things will be worse.
If the hard pro-lifers succeed in intimidation of inspection of such abortion facilities (and here I mean in the negative sense - causing a backwards reaction AGAINST inspections by intimidation of abortion in general - (think about it)) - then this kind of horror will be automatically repeated.
I do not like abortion. I do not think it should be used as a general form of birth control.
However, it is a reality in this society - therefore, it should be done as humanely and as safely as possible.
NOW - a note to the far left: If abortion is reality and should be made as safe and humane as possible, (but NOT banned) then so are guns a reality. Comments?
i worried most about losing my dear family, but i also had silly worries like, what would happen to my pets?
say i didn't have a chance to let the cats out, they would starve inside my house.
and what if people were so starving because of the big gt famine and stole my chickens!
I was worried that it would not happen by 1975 (well, not really worried, more like intelligently aware that it would not) and that we would all be exposed as idiots.
Which, of course, we were.
But not all of us knew it (or were willing to admit it) at the time.

Logan's Run should really have been named "Logan's Gun"...
so does this mean aawa is going to stop shunning?
are they themselves not guilty of shunning those who shun?
shunning can never be stopped no matter how bad you want it to.
The adopted cat was tempted to say that Marvin Shilmer is off topic - except that the topic legend said "other things".
The adopted cat thinks that use of "other things" in topics should be very limited in the future to avoid cosmic chaos.
about a week ago, i posted that my sister in law believes the earthquake in china is proof that there are more earthquakes today than before.
i posted the details that i sent her that show hands down that there is no increase in earthquakes.
and i also posted that she never replied.
I wonder how many if the GB told them to, would kill someone or themselves? Grape Kool-Aid anyone?
That question has already been answered.
At least 75% of them WOULD KILL THEIR OWN KIDS if the GB told them to. (blood transfusion)

Wonder when the granny will grow up.
Probably not even after she gets a judgement from the production company and the quack doctor that killed Michael.
You must never forget that this is all about the money.
Just like you must never forget that about the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
