i think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.
the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.
hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.
How can they compare a child getting baptized to getting a driver's license? Would anybody in their right mind allow a 12-year-old to get a driver's license?
And another thing, I'm sure that vague, anonymous, "A witness from Greece" doesn't even exist!
some of this will not be new to those of you who read other people's notes, but i bet there are a few new bits for you here, so i've provided a user-friendly table of contents, as an homage to the contents that appear before each book of the bible in the new nwt.
i might remember more highlights later, as i'm rather tired right now, but this is what i can recall off the top of my head.. contents (use of quote marks in this section is facetious; these are not actual quotes).
"say, did you notice that 2014 is the 100th anniversary, people?".
I thought the word "impale" referred to the stabbing in the side with a sword.
first of all, big "thank you's" to everyone who put up the goods after attending!
why im disgusted.
the new bible (no, it doesnt have a new name, for all who are asking) is a huge f**king monstrosity!
No, they said they considered using the word "rice" instead of "bread" in the Chinese version, but opted for the generic "food" instead. Nothing about changing "bread" in English.
I really don't know what to say about this. Is the symbolic meaning of "bread" as food only understood in English? Do they not use bread at the Memorial in China too? They were actually considering using the word "rice" instead of "bread"? Truly unbelievable...

i came across this little tidbit on the facebook page of a regular pioneer.
true, jdubs aren't supposed to be on facebook, but what she put as her employment was rather interesting.. "employer - jehovah.
regular pioneer sep 2009 to presentspending an average of 840hrs a year teaching persons the bible,teaching persons asl ,listening and giving scriptural advice on personal problems,telling idiots to enjoy the rest of their day,encouraging others,being always prepared for impromptu assignments and having satisfying fun!".
telling idiots to...? OH!! the JWs that she hands with everyday? Or smart householders that don't want her "bible-debasing literature"???
I think she's referring to the householders ... but that would make them the smart ones! LOL
