Its their organization and policies that most people have a problem with, not the people. I have nothing against many of the people that used to keep in contact with me. I'm not disfellowshipped or dissasociated but they just don't keep in contact anymore, some who were very close friends. Theres a problem where an organization teaches one thing and so blatantly practices another. There is a problem when children are forced to be seperate from their peers and pressured into joining the religion. There is a problem where people, even close family members are shunned for various reasons, some just for disagreeing with said organization. There is a problem when the "organizations" interests are put above the individuals. There is a problem when people are fooled into refusing medical treatment because they think god wants them to. Theres a problem when children are only allowed limited contact with their "nonbeliever" family members. MOst of them are fine, regular people, but the organization they follow is not for me. Maybe its for you, but you haven't exactly given yourself the "full experience" yet.

"Natural affection" in families INCREASING -- sign of the times?
by Gopher inthe jw's have been preaching these are the last days ever since they started aeons ago.
one of the main signs they used from the bible is a decline in natural affection among family members.. such a decline is accepted as fact by many who aren't even jw's.
however, when teenagers themselves are polled, the results are quite different and surprising.. here's a link to the article published in today's minneapolis newspaper, and i have pasted the key part of the article below:.

I think its the JW's who have a "natural affection" problem when they are so willing to disown and treat as dead their close family members because they have been disfellowshipped, leave the religion or never were believers in the first case. This scripture applies more to THEM than anyone else.

by metatron infeel free to correct me but i am utterly unable to find any trace of the blood issue or mention of masturbation in the.

Well there are certain levels of logic and reasonableness and one being illogical in one regard does not necessarily mean they will not be logical in another. Knowing the witness organization and their 'conservative' stance on sexual issues, I think its 'logical' that they would not include information on masturbation seeing that it is a book aimed at 6-11 year olds.

Since the new book was for "younger" kids, I don't think they would include information on masturbation (JH's recent post notwithstanding) I DO find the non-information on blood interesting however. Possibly another sign that lawyers are having more say.

The 10 point resolution adopted at the 2003 District Conventions
by crownboy inas most of you probably already know, from time to time the watchtower society likes to use district conventions as a platform for adopting silly resolutions, which more than likely are forgotten by the people who gave their approval to it by the time they leave the parking lot of the convention.
this year, during the final talk of the convention (talk entitled: "keep bearing much fruit to jehovah's glory"), a ten point resolution was adopted, with all the baby seal-like clapping following its adoption.
here's the main jist of the ten points (i didn't copy it word for word):.

Interesting analogy [WARNING: LONG!]
by embalmed ini found this recently and thought it was pretty interesting.. .
once upon a time, there lived a very powerful king.
he was the proud father of many children, but wanted more still.

Heh, Simon...
Anyway, yes it does seem like the pinnacle of cruelty to damn mankind to eternal mortality just for the first "inexperienced" humans eating some fruit. Almost sounds like the stuff of LEGEND or MYTH to me.
