  the final order was issued few hours ago:.

  the record establishes that darkspilver made fair use of the watch tower ad and chart.

  my wife and i are not religious nor do we want to be.

  we are very set in our spiritual beliefs.

  we have worked with a jw who's family have been like a part of our family for 6 years.

  Welcome Dano!

  Watch this YouTube from the Mentally Diseased channel on a spouse converting. It is the closest situation to yours:

  Also, watch the Demon Problems video. ABC, 123, Demons are everywhere!

  PS. JWs call those who leave the group mentally diseased, hence the channel name. I think it is from a 2011 Watchtower.

  Baptisms exceeding 300K last year – a possible reason

  by Viva la Vida in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two facts to consider: 1) most baptisms take place during assemblies and conventions; 2) the theocratic year goes from september to august.

  my theory: the borg changed the calendar of conventions and assemblies so to concentrate the baptisms in a single theocratic year.

  if some conventions used to take place in july/august, for the 2018 series they moved them to september.

  Here's the reason: They crammed baptism or die down their throats. My MIL complained about the special talk being only about baptism, because it was! Also, isn't this the year they showed parents teaching their toddler(s) all about baptism in a WT study article? It was a year of getting all the kids that haven't been dunked yet.

  Someone in Washington has been setting fire to Kingdom Halls; it helps them feel persecuted. "Look how much they hate us! Just as Jesus said!" No one has been harmed to my knowledge, except for delaying their waking up process.

  BTW, the FBI is investigating, as they should.

  Is the FBI investigating the CSA problem? I don't think so, but who knows?

  Horrible people start burning down buildings; normal humans keep it to camp and bon fires. There are better ways to make a better cult, or tear down the cult.

  I swear I read somewhere here, or reddit, that they count the groups as congregations. It was supposed to be from bethel. Anyone else come across that?

  Sounds like something they would do. Seems like groups are popping up everywhere, and sometimes they only have a meeting quarterly.
