Fred look! A body of water. What prevents you from straping 100 lbs of society literature to your body and diving in?

Perversion of Baptismal Vows
by AlanF inan appendix in the book contains some 120 questions along with hundreds of scriptural "proof texts" that the proselyte is then expected to study.
12 jesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.
the following quotation shows what the proselyte is expected to study just prior to baptism:.

door-to-door records
by philo ini'm trying to get a picture of how d-d records are used.
particularly, with regard to household security, are 'persistent nhs' kept in the maps in your area?.
i used to file the cong maps, and we kept old d-d records back to target these persistents at unusual times.

I've run across individual publishers who were very "tight" about record keeping, and I suppose they would then be "tight" about keeping the territory serpant informed, and records going with the maps.
My general impression of the congregations as a whole, however, is that we were pretty lax about record keeping. Every now and then, a CO would give some encouragement to tighten up in that aspect. My guess is that only a small majority even keep NH records at all, and those make a perfunctory stab at catching the people at home, but even that is often done with a whole car group working the NH's at approximately the same time and day of the week they were missed the first time.
I'm not aware of "persistant" NH's being targeted other than through persistant work by anal retentive pubs.

Real quick... what kind of 'man', Adam...
by AGuest inmay you all have peace (and i will try to keep this brief - yeah, right!).
when using and thinking of the word 'man', most people think that it only applies to humans, physical people.
for it is only flesh with spiritual blood... holy spirit... and not 'earthly' blood, red hemoglobin... that can enter into the kingdom.

I ended up giving a gift certificate to borders, and a book from the bargain bin, "You can live to be 100". It was either that or "idiots guide to pro wrestling".

MORE ON WHY THE PRESENT SYSTEM IS DOOMED!
by You Know inreality is a hard thing to keep at bay.
yet, many apparently prefer to live in a make-believe world, and so they readily embrace delusions for their own emotional comfort.

Reality is a hard thing to keep at bay. Yet, many apparently prefer to live in a make-believe world, and so they readily embrace delusions for their own emotional comfort. Anything that seems to threaten the security of their fantasyland is dismissed, ignored, or ridiculed. While it can readily be proven that such popular delusions eventually lead to calamity, those who are adverse to the truth are doomed to suffer the penalty. The most common delusion of You Know is that this system is going to end soon. / You Know, don'tcha?

Bonsai Kitty
by suzi mayhem inok.. i know i've been a bit of a buster in the past, but this is for real.
there is a site out there, and apparently a demand, for modified housepets.
in a nutshell, what these ahem... [people] do is take a kitten, sedate it, insert the poor thing into a glass bottle with air holes drilled into it, and run tubes into it to feed it, and tubes into it to take care of everything else.

Somehow, if the exact same parody had used li'l JW children as the subject, I don't think this discussion would be taking place.

Sorry TR,
I understand approximately where you are coming from, being a father myself. Still, it seems to me you are not part of the solution by deciding that adults and children just shouldn't interact.
Folks, for all the bluster, when all is said and done, you're a part of the problem when you show your kids irrational fear and anger.
Maybe I have the wrong picture, but it almost seems to me, TR, that you think anyone engaging in your kids in conversation is, "messing with them". So what now? What are you gonna teach your kids with that brand of silliness? And honestly, you can play the tough guy, but your really just you, with all your human and legal limitations. Both of those limitations might really prove disasterous for your kids the way you talk.
By the way, if another adult is not there, perhaps the child IS in danger, and DOES need your help.
Seeker- I appreciate your perspective, it seems most reasonable.
