Since it seems that the only "new" JWs are children of the current ones, I wonder if they will openly reverse this recommendation? If they do, I wonder if that will have a bigger effect than the generation change on couples who wanted children, but made the sacrifice and now it's too late?

Not Having Kids in 'This System....'
by lonelysheep inone of my former bs conductors and her husband decided when they got married, they wouldn't have any kids 'in this system'.
i know the world could be better, but i see no reason not to have children if that's what your wishes really are....and you're able to for that matter.
she just turned 34 and really wants to have a child.

I was curious about JW use of the word "christendom" so googled it and came upon this site--which does not seem to be JW, but sure looks familiar. Do you know whose site this is?

baptism of the dead
by peacefulpete inthe cryptic words of 1 cor 15:29 have ellicited much discussion through the years.
what did the writer mean, "baptism of the dead"?
the answer may be locked up in the controversy over who wrote those words and when.

How many "real friends" did you have in your congregation?
by JH inmost congregations have about 80 to 120 people.
out of that, how many could you consider being a "real friends"?
personally, not one of them was a "real friend".

" You spend 40-50 hours a week working toward a common goal with these people. How many are you "real" friends with? One or two? That's about the same odds as at the KH."
While this is true, it is seldom that your employer expects you to consider the co-workers your true family and to restrict your relationships with non co-workers to a polite acquaintanceship! -

While I was buying Christmas books for my family, I bought Crossan's "In Search of Paul" for myself. I'm really enjoying it, although struggling with the poorly remembered history not very well learned almost 40 years ago!
I would be delighted to find that anyone here was also reading it and interested in discussing it. -

I choked
by Seeking Knowledge ini have done up a letter to my ex asking him to cease & desist with cramming his "religion" down our sons throat and also to stop our son from calling his wife "mom" and other issues that he's in violation of our custody order with.
it was a nice letter, i told him knock it off or we're going to mediation (in our custody agreement as well) to figure it out.
this was at the advise of my attorney.

Hmmm. They can refuse to accept the registered letter. What is one's legal recourse if they do?

Sure sound like regular ol' hymns to me! (I listened to the non-English versions, so I'm just reacting to what they sound like.)
