  Well, recording is one thing; I'm sure the news program crews record lots of things. We'll have to wait (possibly a long time) to see if anything comes of this.

  This isn't really that unusual, in the sense that it would portend anything for the organization at large.

  My largest thread is the Comprehensive NWT Comparison Project at 11 pages, since it required technical discussion. I haven't forgotten that I promised to come back to it once I am free to spend time on other programs again.

  My largest general-interest topics, at 5 pages each, are Witnesses: Why The 1/19/14 WT Lesson Is Dangerous (about the study article which urged people to follow any future directions from the slave; I worked hard on this one and am proud of it despite making a few errors) and Your earliest doubt?.

  Luke 11:31 is comparing Jesus' wisdom to Solomon's, though. Nothing about demons.

  I'm Shocked The Jehovah's Witnesses Even Allow Their Kids To Go To Mainstream Schools.

  by Jehovanomics in

  judging by the material that my kid brings home on a daily basis in copius amounts.

  everything about everything in elementary school goes against the doctrines of the jehovah's witnesses.

  how do jw's expect to make any money if all of their kids are defecting the jw's?

  This is increasingly a subject of interest to me as I am realizing that more of the kids in our cong. are being home-schooled than I thought. At least some of them seem well-adjusted nonetheless. I'm just frightened by the absolute vacuum of information counter to their beliefs in that environment, as well as not being able to see that non-Witness kids can be good association.

  It is like the federal government having laws, but if the local or state governments doing something to violate those higher laws, the people can petition the higher government to fix it.

  Witness: Yes, but the higher government in this case is Satan. He is the ruler of this world. Let me show you a scripture... (opens Bible)

  Today's young Muslims are not yesterday's Muslims. Many of them grew up on the Internet and feel more connected to the world. The partial anonymity provided by the Internet also allows dissenting voices to find and encourage one another. I don't want to get my hopes up, but this could be the start of a sea change.

  Okay, interesting. I'd just never heard of a reversal before; I didn't know that was even a term.
