Do You Often See JWs Out In The Ministry?
by minimus ini used to always see them preaching.
now, it seems as though they rarely are around.
the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..

I moved from my old hall's territory 8 years ago into a gated townhome division. I have not had any contact with local JW's. There has not been one message on the phone, which records when somebody dials up at the gate to be let in. UPS, Fedex...yes, JW's no. Which tells me there has not been any attempts to work our complex.
However, I have seen groups of hispanic JW's sloooowly walking down the street talking to each other, not contacting any houses. And I am mean SLOOOOWWW.
I've been thinking about this. There are still a number who regular aux pioneer, and they must recognize DTD is just not productive. I know one pioneer who goes out dressed casually (jeans), and not just in her territory, and talks to whomever she sees. I feel she is doing her ministry with the right intent; too bad she can't tell anybody because it is verboten.
It sure is a different day.

More WT Propaganda: 10 Year Old Children Should Get Baptized!
by Oubliette ini just caught this in an upcoming study article which will be "studied" in the congregations the week of 11/18-24/13:.
he and his wife were elated when their eldest daughter, age ten, told them that she loved her parents, loved the brothers and sisters, and loved jehovah very much.
she said that she wanted to dedicate her life to jehovah and get baptized.

How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God
by confusedandalone inhow are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.
when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.
when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

AFter I left JW, I took the time to read the gospels...and thoroughly enjoyed them with my JW filter off.
Then I started to read the OT. I decided I didn't like god very much. He was mercurial and schizophrenic, and down right scary. It really sucked to be born a Canaanite. If god wants your land...you are SOL. I never recovered. Could not marry "God is love" with the real god. Does he love the world or hate the world?

A new start? Watchtower renaming at HQ Columbia Heights
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
who was in any doubt that our jw believe is a marketing model, see this pictures of the still existing hq of jw at columbia heights.. earlier comments on jwn that something is going to change in the organisation, these comments are true.. in a few years we will not talk about the watchtower society, we wil talk about jw.org.
i think the current leadership will make a transfer to a new start.

i think the marketing of JW.org is very intentional. How many thousands have stumbled on JWD/JWN by trying to look up the WTBS home page! I think they want to work against that by making the addy easy, simple and unforgettable. They don't want anybody searching WBTS, OR Jehovah's Witnesses.
Old timers won't know what to think, but they don't care about what people think. They only care about the corporations's survival.
It's getting interesting to say the least.
