they told him they are "storing and stocking up" on powdered milk and non-perishable items.......this is the second time i hear that witnesses are doing this in preperation of "the end".

If this warning of preparedness is "food at the proper time" then how come they did'nt warn the poor brothers before Katrina hit? Or was this a case of those poor brothers being set up as collateral damage by Jehovah as a "parallel" "prefigurement" of the future?
This crap must have gone on pre 1975 as I remember my 1st wifes mother storing flour and rice in large quantities then. I agree that it's a cunning Watchtower use of recent bad circumstances to bolster fear and pre disaster excitement in the ranks!

What age for baptism?
by wozadummy in.
when i was a mormon i was baptised at age 8.. as witnesses some get baptised pretty close to this age.. when they face all those years ahead with so much of life to learn and understand how can it be right to come down so hard on young people who, when going thru puberty and beyond have to come to grips with all the feelings and mixed up thinking of youth and then fall short of the ideal and ,say ,fall in love with someone and have sex and then face a judicial commitee.. everyone is different and it's naturally easier for some young ones than for others due to alot of factors and keep on the straight and narrow.. but here is my opinion on things, simply put , jesus as a perfect man was not called upon to dedicate himself for baptism and full dedication to god till he was 30!.
is it not reasonable to expect the same from imperfect people led by sinful inclinations to make a mature decision when older at 30 instead of a teen or even a preteen and expect full control and even repentence?

Mysterious
I hate the chain reaction that one youth getting baptized sets off, where they look at you and wonder why not you. Especially if it is somoene younger. This happened to me with talks, with unbaptized publishing, everything. And I hated it when my "example" got parents to push their kids into things.
I know what you mean here as I remember a girl in my congo years ago whose older sister had been baptised for some time and the girl was 19 and still not baptised and many were talking about this in a negative way and I think she knew this. In time she did but I think it was thru pressure and a carrot being held out of going to Bethel to use her special skills that she aquired at college. When they finished with her I guess they chucked her out.

Thanks and hi blondie
Another thought came to me that shows a teen cannot at times make a well thought out decision to commit is my own where, at age 17, I joined the navy during the Vietnam war not even thinking of the consequences of war, despite my father trying to talk me out of joining for he served in the RAF in England during WW11.
I was thinking of the travel and seeing the world and meeting people etc. After 3 months in I had some special training in atomic warfare and suddenly it dawned on me that I never wanted to kill anyone ,especially for some aged fat cats in government who thought I was expendable. I discharged as a conscientious objector , a mature decision but one that took me thru a rough patch in life .
My point is that to commit properly to avoid mistakes in life one needs to be equipped with knowlege and years of maturity to make right decisions for oneself

Concerning the big announcement in September
by truthseeker ina little while back i posted a topic on a supposedly shocking announcement that was to be made in september, which is just over a week away.. i have nothing new to add, suffice to say that gary1914 posted an interesting comment that he heard from his relative, a district overseer... .
