  Sorry I couldn't sit thru those clips as my mind vomits when I hear those guys speak, but I'd liketo hear the bit with pre teenagers getting baptized. Where was that? It seems only recently they were saying get baptized at 12-14, and now they're saying 8 or 9? The Mormons baptise their kids at 8 as a rite of passage I believe.

  My interest in this revised NWT

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the biases of the earlier iteration of the nwt have been known and discussed from the appearance of the first appearance in 1950, and i assume the revised edition will be affected by the same prejudicial biases.

  one can cynically subscribe to the view that this is a financial bonanza and possibly a distraction from the imminent centenary of that distant significant date.. my interest will be to see how the impact of this revision evolves, particularly in the area of the wts's support material and on the impact its release will have on witnesses.

  some preliminary thoughts are:.

  That's very interesting. It's a very flattering picture of the British too. I find them to be a great people.

  Accepting my own mortality, and the naturalness of death - the final step in my JW recovery.

  by fresh prince of ohio in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for people who have a paralyzing fear of dying, to where it seems like it's this horrible, stalking monster, jwism is a powerful sedative.. but really, the idea of living forever, in human form, is nonsense.

  living forever isn't about living forever, it's about not dying.. death is natural.

  it can be painful, sudden, or both.

  I found it very comforting when I came to your realisation, Fresh Prince. It was actually a relief. One day, we will go to sleep, able to look back and then rest our weary bones. No pressure to live forever as a JW.
