since i was a child it was reinforced that there would be these situations against jw's (slowing of the preaching work, restrictions on their ability to preach), as well as the ever well known belief that eventually god will have found all his "true followers" out of this system of things, and the new "dubs" enlisting would dwindle (which is happening if you look at the stats).

The JW's claim to be god's earthly channel of communications, right? That would mean that they have claimed to have spoken in God's name? Right? This being true, they have made prophetic errors in god's name. Check the bible, and you will see what God himself said of prophets that speak in his name:

-- Revised Standard Version --

Deuteronomy 18:20 - But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'

Deuteronomy 18:22 - when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him.

Now, look at their prophecies they have made over the years.. How many of them have come true? NONE!

Then, to address your fear I say this (From the inspired word of GOD himself):

Deuteronomy 18:22 - when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him.

I agree with ya out..

Personally, the more I re-think my tounge in cheek reply earlier, the more I like it <G>..

Everyone has to register.. It's not oppresive to anyone individually

It is actually a safety issue with us: How do we know the person knocking on our door isn't a their 'casing' out the house to come back later and perpetrate a crime (Theft or other), or a pedophile wondering how many small children live there?

And why do they need to be anonymous?

And, it certainly isn't stopping their right to preach the good news to those who want to hear it? All they have to do is register.. Hopefully, a background check is done, and get their ID card..

It is, after all their choice.. It's a conscience matter to them wether they want to register and continue in the field ministry or not <ROFL>..

Sorry,
It's wannahelp, but I posted too many times today.. So had to make a second account (wannahelp2).. How original, huh..

Anwyay:

I can see merits to this system -- BIG TIME --

It can protect the citizens by having the person register with the town.. The town should do a background check to make sure the person has no criminal record that would preclude this stuff (Say, petty theft, etc) as well as a sex-offender database to make sure the person is 'safe'..

Only after that should an ID card be granted..

This way the resident answering the door can instantly see the ID card, and know that the person they are talking to has been screened and is safe by the authorities..

The JW's should have no problem with this, after all, they have no problem following secular authority.. They pride themselves on how well they follow the 'law of the land'..

And the JW's cannot state that they are being forbidden from preaching the good news.. After all, it's a conscience matter if they choose to become registered and stay out in field service or not.. But it is their choice..

<ROFL>.. Damn, I scare myself sometimes..

Actually, seriously.. I just re-read this.. It makes sense.. I think a representative from Silent Lambs should goto that court appeal with all the 'pedophile' stuff, and show just how dangerous a situation can arise from this stuff.. Just using the JW's as an example, but the same can happen with any door-to-door saleman, not just JW's..

Maybe we should lobby for a nation wide system as such!!!!
