The real reason for the push to get children baptized.......

by EndofMysteries in

i think the real reason is that many when they are in their teens and able to start thinking for themselves end up leaving by the time they get out of home, never baptized, and still continuing assocation with their family.

the wt doesn't like this loophole, so they are hoping to get them baptised before their teen years so that if they wake up and decide to leave, they will be dfed.

hoping to keep them trapped and be trapped before they understand the religion.

I totally agree. Child manipulation, they are loosing to many that stopped going in our cong

Beginning of Electronic Assemblies?

by Fading Begins in

do you think this could have been an experiment to see how smoothly these events can be processed, and what the reaction is from the rank and file?

it would sure save a lot of money if events like this could replace at least the one day circuit assemblies.

there has to be some recognition that the "flock" is becoming weary and they don't have the funds to be travelling to these events.

Hey hey, you could be onto something......good point, I agree the local elders who relish in power wont like it. Hahahaha!!!!

Internet VS WTS

by joe134cd in

ok here is another spin on the wt verses the internet argument, and this time i'm going to be pro-wt.

i have read articles and seen graphs that show in countries that have high internet penetration, growth rates diminish.

this is used to support the idea that the information age is killing the wt.

A click away did it for me, and I am new to TTATT this year.

But I would also like to say in my opnion, like a couple of others (cofty, jwfacts), seeing athiests in the trenches is possible. My precious boy, who is having a terrible time right now, and is in the trenches, told me yesterday, he does not believe in God anymore. Being in the trenches is how many become athiest and has nothing to do with the internet for them in my veiw.

Internet VS God........................I don't know the winner yet?????????????????

Internet VS WTBTS....................winners are JWN, jwsurvey, jwfacts, AAWA all excellent sites that made a huge difference for our family

Dear IAMNOBDYOFCONCERN,

You have gone a little off topic dear one. The WTBTS are begging for money this weekend in my view, please comment on your opinion or SMURF OFF or please stop using unchristian language on this thread.

You are here for a reason, you are disobeying the WTBTS by commenting. I am glad you want to join in. So please stick to topic, and we can have a nice warm conversation my dear one

Warm reagrds

The contrast of the religion's magazines Today as compared to the Past!

by LongHairGal in

just out of curiosity, i picked up several of the religion's magazines that were laying in a public place.

half of them were recent editions of the wt and awake and the other were older editions over 12 years old.. the contrast is like night and day!.

i am not referring to the paper, either.

70wksfyrs

Alan, even the study edition is basic, they have an English simplified so there is no excuse. It really is more basic, the writting commitee are either old and dumb.

Or..........

There is a very clever apostate on the inside in NY helping us all to get out. Have you seen the latest AWAKE teaching us how to be critical about what we read. I mean come on!!!

I agree completely. That's why I started checking out other sites. I felt "empty" after reading everything on jw.org. So here I am popped out this year. If it worked for me it could work for your loved ones too. I hope so.

brazen conduct, dissensions

by hoser in

as predicted by jwn loose conduct has been replaced by brazen conduct.

galations 5:19 2 peter 2:2 .

a catch all phrase for apostates.

70wksfyrs

Very interesting. I suppose at the elders school they will be taught how to identify apostates, using these scriptures. But won't that end with the whole most of the association of brothers being Df'd.

The GB's system is a house of cards, a gust of wind is coming!!! hehehehe!
