  It's ridiculous to use the "Cost of Fuel" as a reasoning, when they still promote the useless door to door work...

  ...and when the postpone the change til January 2009.

  You could also download the latest Flash plugin (free), and it should fix the issue:

  If you're having trouble with it playing fast, then try clicking the "Download Original" link on the right side of the page, folks... then you can save it to your computer and listen to it in iTunes, Windows Media Player, or whatever other player you use.

  Maybe they'll all just move to Saudi Arabia... after all, they banned Barbie in September 2003. What a safe environment for the Witnesses...

  What is the first doll that comes to mind that has boobs, and a huge wardrobe to choose from that fits closely to the body? "Barbie"....no doubt about it!

  LOL, so true. Would be funny as hell if Mattel, Inc. sued the WTBTS, Inc.!!

  G: "Because they have bodies like women, and their clothes and shoes are those of women."

  Yeah, God forbid little girls imagine growing up into women... playing house, doctor, whatever... It's kind of funny, when you think about it, that the article didn't talk at all about the "potential dangers" of little boys playing with dolls... you know those Barbies can be anatomically correct. Might lead them down the dark path...

  Maybe that's the District Convention release this year... collectible dolls for the kids... you know, the apostles, prophets, David, the little girl who helped Naaman...

  The WT could get into the toy market! Talk about a captive audience. I wonder if the kids could bring them to the KH?

  I know thinking back that I considered my dolls my friends when I was little. It would have really bothered me to see them burned... I am so glad I didn't grow up in this organization.

  I remember my step-sister traumatically screaming as "Mom" burned her doll in the fireplace.... that messed her up for a long time.

  The article does not come right out and say that parents should destroy their kids' dolls... in fact, it mentions the beneficial aspects of doll play -- learning future roles, having a confidante and friend, etc.

  However, the article is very heavily inclined towards the demonic, religious, voodoo, and superstitious use of dolls in the past and present. Here's an excerpt from a sidebar at the end of the article, which I transcribed from the audio link above. Notice the use of the phrase "potentially harmful influence of some dolls" in two consecutive paragraphs. The "daughter's" voice in the sample "how to talk to your kids about it" was highly scripted--you could tell she was speaking "adultspeak" written out for her... she struggled with it in a mechanical tone.

  At 7:08 in the audio, Supplementary Information (sidebar):

  DOLLS—BASIS FOR PARENTAL CONCERN!

  How can parents protect their children from the potentially harmful influence of some dolls? The Washington Post lamented, "Like the tobacco industry of old, the entertainment and toy industries generally deny any responsibility and are unlikely to make changes on their own." Clearly, parents need to assume responsibility!

  The Bible commands parents to provide children with wholesome daily instruction. How might that be given in a way that addresses the potential harmful influence of some dolls?

  One mother says that she read to her daughter about modest dress, as outlined at 1 Timothy 2:9, and reasoned with her on the matter. Their conversations went something like this:

  Mother's voice

  : "Whom do these dolls look like? A child, or a woman?"

  Little Girl's voice:

  "A woman."

  M:

  "Why do you say that?"

  G:

  "Because they have bodies like women, and their clothes and shoes are those of women."

  M:

  "That's RIGHT! And after reading what we did in the Bible, do you think the clothing these dolls are wearing is the kind Christians should wear?"

  G:

  "No..."

  M:

  "Why not?"

  G:

  "Because the skirts are very short, the blouses are low cut, and the material sticks to their bodies."

  Admittedly, teaching your children godly principles so that they reach such conclusions takes effort. But it is worth it! Many parents have benefited from the help provided by the book Learn From the Great Teacher, published by Jehovah's Witnesses, to help parents inculcate godly principles in their children. You're invited to obtain a copy of this 256-page illustrated book by writing to: Jehovah's Witnesses, 25 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201-2483.
