  The WT doesn't believe in infant baptism, but does an 11 year old really understand what they're getting into isn't just a pool with a lot of people looking on?

  my dad now an ex witnesses was visited last sunday by an active witness who said that during the special talk in the assembly in colchester england they would be advised to begin stockpiling food and water for what could a economic meltdown!.

  my dad reminded him about the ancient israelites who relied on jehovah and were provided with mana after their escape from egypt, the point was lost on him!.

  have the governing body become a pseudo survivalist regime, and where is their faith!!.

  I have noticed an increase of talk about disaster preparedness. Pretty standard, common sense recommendations like having three days of supplies in the house, emergency contact lists...they even talk about individual families having bug out plans now, and of course want to know where you will be going if you bug out. They are even compiling records they are having dubs fill out with all this info.

  Is this something seen in other congos? I am wondering how much of this is regional or is it directions DIRECT from the GOVERNING BODY?

  I was just going to say...no references, logical fallacies, sweeping generalizations, and absurd pseudoscience...it reads like a lot of periodicals from this era.

  I thought this was spam, even after clicking through. If this is something you want to share with the forum, its a good idea to write a little text about what we are clicking to read about.

  And when I saw 'summer camp stories' in the link, I was expecting some kind of accounts of abuse, given the topic of the day...

  Proof that humankind existed at least 28,000 years ago

  by The Oracle in

  i wonder how jws will react to this recent evidence that intelligent man existed at least 22,000 years before adam and eve arrived on the scene?.

  it looks like membership will continue to decline as far as intelligent jws are concerned.

  i'm sure there will be plenty of society's bottom feeders who will continue to find their way on to the jw publisher lists.

  Did anyone else get somewhat offended by the term "rank and file" that the WT attorney used.

  i was just surprised by that term being used by jim mccabe when he said "jonathan kendrick was not a leader or a pastor, he was just a rank-and-file member.".

  i thought that was only an apostate term and also what a put down to us lowly members.

  we are just a rank-and-file person.
