unfortunately my 3 nieces are getting baptized tomorrow.
my dad called me to tell me how proud he was of his grandchildren.
i felt a sick feeling come over me, followed by rising anger.
I think if they are newly baptised...they will be 'strong' and it is likely they will take little notice for the time being. Don't be disappointed if there are no immediate effects. But be around to help them when it starts to fall apart. I think some of the recent stuff re UN might be interesting for them.

let's assume that there are about 9,000,000 armageddon survivors (baptised jw's and their children), after just 30 years every survivor will be sexually mature and with increased vigour and health.. .
chemical contraception, condoms, i.u.d's etc will all be long gone so any married couple with a normal sex-drive will be producing children at an average rate of about 1 per year.. .
world population at the beginning of the 20th century was less than 1.5 billion.
Nic.........ye of little faith...
Jehovah just needs to get some more planets going.

my wife and i are moving 3000 miles away so that we can fade away as jehovah's witnesses.
i am looking for suggestions as to what i should do about our publisher record cards (keep them in pa?, get them forwarded to seattle?
) so that we can start our lives on the west coast with a fresh start and so we'll just be left alone...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I would just move away. You could attend 1 or 2 meetings in the new location...get your records transferred and then disappear.
It does work. Obed did it when he moved!

they resigned as officers of the wts and made way for a generally younger crowd who took places in a multitude of legal corporations.
the idea was that they were to concentrate on 'spiritual things'.
well the un-ngo fiasco didn't indicate they had their eye 'on the ball'.
Hey openminded...we just missed one of the GB one year who had just spent a week at the Radisson cable Beach, Bahamas. One of the bell boys told us he was there the week earlier!
HAHA....R+R on the R+F!

I think pogo sticks were not around in the first century. Is this another fundie plot to mislead the masses?

Hi Dazed! I think thats what the R+F think. But I honestly don't think these guys can do a great deal in view of their age, limitations etc. They couldn't dictate if they wanted to IMO. Who is at the controls now??? I mean effective control. Its your Great Crowd dudes. They must know all this JC-FDS-Food at the proper time stuff....is CRAP!

hello, i know this board for about a week but didn t dare to register and post something, to let the cat out of the bag ... i am a jw :) i was shocked after i read through some of the topic here.
honestly, i haven t seen any apostates in action until i started visiting this board.
a little bit information to my person:.
Hey Neva! Thanks for posting! Not easy sometimes to take the plunge and say what you feel!
I think JWs believe there has to be absolute truth. Ever seen the Matrix? Reality is not always what you wantit to be ....but it is reality and the truth.
ISP
is it just me, or is there a running theme with the plethora of newbies posting?
i've noticed more than one ask about former elders, co's, do's, etc.. why the interest, i wonder....
DO's, CO's are part of the JW 'following-man' mindset. They sit up and take note of the position/title more than what is said.
