at the end of april, there was a zone visit in france, with tv broadcast in all kh.. g. losch told he received a letter from a girl, 10 years old, baptised at 5, reg pioneer since 4 years !

what a fine example, he said....... let s imagine the faces of the parents in the kh!

i was happy to see i was not the only one to find it crazy.. if you have a child, you know how mature he is at 5. how can a child preach 2.5hours/day after 7hours of school and homework to do??

ok, so i only read the wt study articles to keep up with the indoctrination that my two "still-in" children are being subjected to.

when i read this in today's wt i nearly blew a gasket: .

[naboth] held to jehovahs law in the face of horrific abuse of power.

Types, anti-types, starting fresh?
by Crazyguy in

do you think these changes are being made so they can start teaching the r&f a new set of doctrines?

or is this just a fly in the ointment just to continue to confuses the masses so they don't know what the hell to think anymore?.

and if you think its so they can teach new doctrines, do you think their going to go more main stream?.

Types and anti types
by Deltawave in
1. watchtower
2. bible
according the watchtower study of may 10th, it has been made clear no prophetic meaning should be given to a a scripture or passage unless the bible itself gives clear interpretation of it.

therefore daniel 7 especially gives it's fulfillment to nebuchadnezzar only.

no future kingdom or 2520year wait til 1914. no gentile times or "this generation".

Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies
by zophar in

if you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.

remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?

anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

I listened. I obeyed. Then I realized...

what was that blessing part about?

i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.

maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

Question: Are single sisters allowed to be missionaries in other countries?
by Wild_Thing in
1. jw
2. friends
as far as i remember, only married couples were allowed to be missionaries.

my jw sister recently told me that single sisters can be missionaries, too.

this sounds too progressive for jws, so i just want to verify it.
