This is worse than saying "on or around 1914". Adding this "ambiguity" to they're keystone date is probably their first step (of many to come) towards eventually eliminating what they already know is an indefensible doctrine.

RNWT: Page 1767: About 1914
by StephaneLaliberte inin appendix b1, there is a timeline for the message of the bible.
on the second page of that appendix, there is a small section entitled "about 1914", what is this?
don't you find it odd that they use the word "about"?

Crazyguy... there was new light about JWs who are just plain lazy and just won't get up to speed on their own... you know, the kind of JW that always asks: "hey, what's the latest?" without much effort put into looking things up themselves...

I was also raised to hate gay people... but after my awakening a few years ago, my wife and I have become close friends with a gay couple... in fact, they've turned out to be our best friends!
My advice... be yourself and don't worry about what others think of you. The world is changing quickly and soon you'll be free to openly roam the earth.

The real reason for the push to get children baptized.......
by EndofMysteries ini think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.
the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.
hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.

There's a young brother in my ex-congo who got baptized at 12 because he wanted to have an impressive resume by the time he was old enough to apply for Bethel Service at the Puerto Rico Branch... Unfortunately, his bubble busrt when they announced the sale of the Puerto Rico Branch early this year and now he's scratching his head wondering what to do now... so sad...

BUM WITNESSES
by The Searcher incan anyone save me the stress of listening to the self-appointed faithful & discreet slave for 3 hours, and give a clue as to roughly at what point in the proceedings was the derogatory term 'bum witnesses used, and by whom?
i'd really love to extract that comment and send it to a weakening witness, to highlight the judgmental arrogance and name-calling being displayed.. many thanks in advance folks!.

New U2 album - song called 'Yahweh'!!!!
by City Fan inhaving been a huge u2 fan ever since around 1982 i still eagerly await their new stuff.
i remember being told to throw out the 'war' album by my jw parents because it was about war.
it took about a week to explain to them that it was actually an anti-war album!

I guess that explains why he's now one of Yahweh's Witnesses...

For what it's worth, this is my take on the AGM
by stillin inas i was leaving the kh where i watched the meeting, i overheard several conversations, all to the effect that"what a great bunch of guys the gb is.
" the sense of humor among them, the naturalness and ease they had while speaking, etc.. for that matter, i too, was impressed at how like able they seem to be and, believe it or not, the 3 1/2 hours went by fairly quickly, thank god!
but as i think about it, i'm concluding that that was the main goal of the wide viewing of this event: to assure the rank and file that the gb, the men who are in charge of god's household, are a great bunch of guys.

Lost Generation said: (except for Morris, who comes off as a pompous ass)
I agree... I've heard him speak in person and he really came off as an arrogant narcisist...
I'm really tired of him leading with: "When I was in Vietnam..." ... WTF? Does he want everyone to picture him as Rambo?
