I always refrain from any criticisms of this board, but after perusing this thread I know just the thing this board desperately needs!!!!!
Subtitles!!! Reading these posts are as bad as watching an Irish DVD before turning on the subtitles.

wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.
keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.
my conclusions are:.
I was thinking of a conscientious way to protest singing the songs. You could make the argument that you like to give your best to Jehovah and that the new songs are of poor musicianship and quality. As a result it offends your conscience to to sing inferior praises to Jehovah.
i've quoted and posted from this survey in the past, as have others, but i noticed some posters were unfamiliar with this.
so i wanted to post a link, but also post some of findings related to jehovah's witnesses.
for this survey, over 35,000 americans were interviewed.
I've quoted and posted from this survey in the past, as have others, but I noticed some posters were unfamiliar with this. So I wanted to post a link, but also post some of findings related to Jehovah's Witnesses. For this survey, over 35,000 Americans were interviewed. Here's a link if you wish to read the report in its entirety. Following, I'll post some of things we might find interesting here on JWN. The way I posted the data points is taking into considertion other religous affilations such as Catholics, Evangelical Churches, Mainline Churches, Historically Black Churches, Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish, and Mormon faiths. I didn't mention the statistic showing 2/3 of born-ins leave JWs as thats common knowledge. When I posted these statistics, I wasn't looking to paint JWs in a negative or positive light. This is strictly for information purposes. I found much of it interesting, and understandable.
