1986 I would have stuck up for myself with my parents and said I’m going to stay at school and go to university and become a history teacher/professor.
Special optional bonus question: What Topics are you sick of? What topics would your like to see covered more?
I’m tired of the over the top threads against the WTS ( the kind that give us a bad name)
I’m all for developing understanding on selected topics and anything that draws us closer as a community.

the 2012 yearbook has released the publisher statistics for the 2011 service year.
a scan of the report can be found at http://www.jwfacts.com/images/2011-publisher-report.pdf and i have started updating the graphs at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php.
as expected, it is following on from similar trends to the last 15 years.
Well made points all round! Im with jwfacts in that i believe that God inspired the writing of the Bible and that he would have made sure his name was used if it was essential in the NT.For God that would have been a simple task.
I really enjoy ready the posts made on this thread and its real spiritual food for thought
