  the october 1 watchtower 2001 features articles on training children "properly" and dealing with a "prodigal child.

  the latest inside u.s. figures reveal that 86% of jw children leave the fold, with some 29% who eventually come back for reasons of family ties, most never "reaching out.

  " that means over half leave permanently.

  note: i wrote what follows this introductory paragraph some time back on the old h2o.

  it may be of some interest here, in view of discussions on the read gods word the holy bible daily thread.

  the poster known as friend had also participated on this old h2o thread, which will explain the references to his name.

  please read the following brief paragraph carefully: .

  "once again, the ruling ecclesiastical class suppressed efforts to make gods word available to their flock.

  they violently silenced a voice that pointed to some of the errors of their non-biblical beliefs.

  Read God's Word the Holy Bible Daily

  by Nicodemus in

  1. jw

  for decades now, those words have appeared atop one of the watchtower societys buildings in new york city.. that exhortation may never have been more needed by jehovahs people themselves than it is today.

  recent posts have asked good questions regarding what can or will sustain individual jehovahs witnesses who do truly love god, but who may be disheartened by various things they have seen in the organization.. it is clear to me that many witnesses spend far more time reading the societys publications than gods word itself.

  one reason sometimes given is that the preparation and research has already been done for you, thus making it easier.

  "Freeness of Speech" Between Elders

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what does it mean to have "freeness of speech" between elders on the elder body?

  can they ask another elder on the body anything about his personal life and/or questions they would never dare to ask one of the rank and file?

  can't find much about it in the publications.

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  question: does the watchtower society want individual witnesses expressing personal viewpoints about vital religious issues to persons whose intent is to record and document the findings?

  the following letter written under the new letterhead from the societys service department documents the answer to this question.
