"joe moreno, the alderman whose opposition of a proposed chick-fil-a on chicago's north side helped fuel the recent controversy, told the chicago tribune the company has pledged to include a statement of respect for all sexual orientations in a memo to staffers, and has promised that the winshape foundations, its not-for-profit arm, would no longer contribute money to groups that oppose gay marriage.".

I've got to say, I admire their business savvy! First, get all the Christians to give you their money. Then do a 180 and get everyone else to give you theirs. I'm not saying it's morally admirable, but hey, that's big business for you. Personally I don't even like their food.

This is actually pretty similar to how the Republican Party works. They use the votes of Christians to get elected so that their candidates can then serve Big Business.

Absalom prefigured young JWs who fist bump, play video games, and take pictures of themselves with the opposite sex

jehovah's witnesses top the list in not being able to hold on to their younger members.

so what do they do to combat this?

do they go out of their way to change things to keep the next generation, their only real hope of long run survival?

Great analysis, folks. Unfortunately this is not a one time strange article. This is becoming the the norm for WT teachings- especially at district conventions. The only real hope for this religion is to mainstream but they are heading the opposite way. Prepare for more ugliness as the leaders grow crazier, more paranoid, and ever more controlling!

any suggestions?

attending an invite (strange we're invited but hoping to make it worth my while) but i don't want to suffer big consequences as i've already said enough wrong stuff.

i'm stuck reading hassan's ccmc book (about half way --- just don't have time and not into it).

I will always be closer to Jehovah than you are- I'm taller than you.

No, as usual, they double down on crazy and go out of their way to alienate them.

Cults eat their own.

That's my impression of the most recent WT study which had an artist's rendition of an ordinary teenager doing ordinary things- fist bumping their friends, playing video games, and taking pictures of themselves with the opposite sex. This poor ordinary guy gets labelled a modern day "Absalom" and the WT conductor says the only answer for others around him is to "cut off all association with him".

Gee, I wonder why the WT just doesn't seem to appeal to young people anymore?
