  i am starting a new topic since this blog entry is about something different.. i have posted before about my recent split with the jws.

  no exit comes out of nowhere and there were seeds planted long before this.

  i have never enjoyed field service.

  Aah the door work in brutal weather, few home(blessing), fewer interested. Do not forget the horror comic book covers on magazines. And the just loud enough you can't converse kingdom melodies playing in the car.

  The ideas on the Bible are plagiarized among all the end times religions despite protestations contrary. So imagery would be similar.

  Has Rutherford's 16-cylinder Cadillac been found?

  i ran across this episode of jay leno's garage on youtube today.

  all i know is it seems very similar to j f rutherford's much-vaunted 16-cylinder cadillac.

  watch the episode and let us know what you think.

  Seems a fit. Believers will not admit Rutherford had a caddy, let alone 2. The provenance would not add value like Humphrey Bogarts Deusy, or AL Capone car. It is fun to look at the craftsmanship in the video no matter what

  There will still be serial numbers, instead of a VIN.

  Interesting. Also note the USA was a ( small d) democratic country with supposed no class distinctions. We have no nobility, castes, etc. The now decried white protestant ethic led the exceptionalism of an expanding country. We do have a growing elite, a parasitic entitled woke population, and a reliance on 2nd and 3rd world countries for grunt labor.

  Why infant baptism in Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Antonio_Madaleno in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "adult baptism was not simply a question of religious dogma; it was an issue of power.

  if baptism was delayed until adulthood​—thus allowing a person to make a decision based on faith—​some might not get baptized at all.

  and individuals not baptized would, at least to a degree, remain outside the control of the church.

  JWs brag about children as young as 6 being baptized. They are for the most part precocious snots.

  A reasonable age would be past puberty and close to if not at an age where important decisions ( marriage comes to mind) can be made

  What`s the reason some of you think JW`s are in decline ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.

  is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.

  The bookstudy groups were the last vestiges of fun and " love". The service groups are just work parties with varying levels of incompetent leadership. Add old age, disjointed ever changing doctrine, pressure to be poor and uneducated.

  I made a standing donation through the WT, earmarked for the local congregation, mostly because wife us pimi (mostly). When they gave away excess funds per WT instructions I deleted the deduction because I could find no way to decrease it. Then I put in a new lower amount, but noticed on the bank statement they still take the larger amount. GRRR
