My son has made his decision
by CaptainSchmideo inthis is the followup to this thread:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/276119/1/well-its-march-and-the-college-answers-are-coming-in#.uyjdu_ldv2e.
the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .

Is this still their view about "Those resurrected"?
by Snoozy indo the jw's still teach that those resurrected will not marry and be without a sex?
(eunich).
can't help but think that it is the same with those hit with radiation during a bombing.. .

What kid wants to sit nicely through ANY adult "seminar" with uncomfortable clothes and shoes? Do you sincerely think that a kid with this level of writing skills really has an issue with religion? We don't know what denomination of church this is, but generally mosts adherents put in an hour to an hour and a half max in 7 days... not nearly what the JW kids endure.
Shirley... I've wondered the same in reverse. Trying to imagine the opposite makes my brain hurt.
My perception of religion is open and the freedom I've always had makes me curious about what I don't know. Studying hermeneutical contrasts is fascinating to me. The notion of locking in and declaring one denomination more righteous than another seems inherently judgmental. Is that who we're supposed to be?

Jehovahs Witnesses make a big deal about following first century christianity, so please explain this.
by smiddy inwhere in the christian greek scriptures do disciples of christ record how many hours a month they preached.. " " " " 10 hours for women and children and slack husbands with no ambition.
" " " " do they record how many back calls / return visits they made in a month.. " " " " have they set down how many bible studys they had in a month.. " " " " do they have pioneers ,special pioneers , aux.pioneers , with goals to reach each month.. " " " " do they have d.o.
, c.o., zone servants , etc.etc.. " " " " where in the christian greek scriptures is the word " organisation" applied to christianity.

Jesus/Michael came to earth so women could wear pantyhose. Is there a preferred sanitary napkin brand?
As an outsider, I'm going to venture to guess that the preferred brand of the GB would be "Always."
"Stayfree" would have to be an apostate-endorsed brand.

"We have NO idea how many in our congregation were baptized last year."
by NeverKnew inwas i lied to?.
are the members of a congregation even mildly aware of how many people who belong to their very own congregation were recently baptized?

As an fyi, the three I was speaking to are very engaged.
I was talking about the growth of other denominations so there's only one reason I can come up with for being deceptive.

Carla, that's what seems odd to me. With all the prep work one has to endure, I would have thought that there'd be a line up that would be the equivalent of a graduation ceremony at one's personal congregation after the swim.
Apog: A few handshakes? Wouldn't a person be capable of providing a vague estimate?...
"let's see, I remember congratulating Brother Bob, Sister Jane, and Brother Bob's 13 year old last Summer, and Brother Alfred last Fall, so 4 maybe?"
Pam's girl, you might be on to something. :)

This congregation, I'm told, is right around 100.
Is there no celebration of one's baptism? How about an acknowledgement?
....congratulatory handshake? Anything?

Aren't Jehovah's Witnesses really standing in front of the LIGHT and blocking it?
by Terry infolks are about as happy as they decide to be.. looking on the bright side of life gives you more of a foothold when things go awry.
nurturing hope builds a foundation for you which enables you to save for tomorrow and build toward the future and hang on when things get tough.. people dig their own graves when they become pessimists.
"why bother" replaces "that's worth a try!".

Very accurate!
As an outsider, I'm baffled by the notion that things are horrible. People have lost their lives for the freedoms that some now have. To not give God praise for the blessing of life and instead complain that the era of birth isn't working out for them, to me, is an insult towards God.
