I love the picture on page 26. This looks like a child packed up and leaving, not being sent away.

Notice that the footnote on paragraph 22 says
Today, God speaks to us through the Bible.
The Bible has the power to change our lives.
So, what we read at Hebrews 4:12 is also true
about the Bible.So when they want, the bible can speak, but then one cannot have the truth if they use just the bible without them and their interpretations.
CULT!!!!

A Parasitic yet Useful Wasp
TRUE, the ichneumon wasp is strange looking, almost frightening. But why is it labeled parasitic? Because it usually propagates by laying an egg on or in the larva of another insect or a spider.
In North America there are more than 3,000 species of true ichneumon wasps. These wasps, in turn, are part of a large family of different types of parasitic wasps. Scientists estimate that worldwide more than 40,000 species belong to this insect family.
Ichneumon wasps vary in size from about an eighth of an inch to two inches [0.3 to 5 cm] long. Their slender, curved abdomen is longer than the head and thorax together. Ichneumons are different from stinger wasps in that they have longer antennae.
The most distinguishing feature of ichneumons is a needlelike tube at the end of the abdomen. Called an ovipositor, this egg-laying structure is often longer than the body. It is no thicker than a horsehair and has three threadlike strands that slide back and forth to force the egg down the tube.
How does the ichneumon detect the larva of a potential host? The female Megarhyssa wasp, a genus of ichneumon, has been observed tapping a tree with her antennae to pick up vibrations of a larva living an inch [2 cm] or more beneath the tree bark. Once she senses that there is a larva, she intensifies the tapping. Eventually, she begins to probe into the bark with the tube, as if drilling into it.
Observers have noted: "Once the tip of the wasp's ovipositor touches the larva, a single egg is squeezed down the tube, to be planted next to, or on top of, the doomed host." When the egg hatches, the new larva feeds on the host larva's fats and body fluids. Then it spins a silken cocoon in which it will develop into an adult wasp. When the wasp reaches the surface of the tree, it is ready to plague a new generation of insects.
Although one may describe this insect group as ruthless parasites, ichneumon wasps serve an important purpose. Their larvae feed on insects that are harmful to food crops, including chinch bugs, boll weevils, codling moths, and asparagus beetles, to name a few. So ichneumons evidently control the proliferation of agricultural pests.
Even though ichneumons are very numerous, they are seldom seen by people because they generally feed, breed, and lay eggs in habitats seldom visited by humans. Ichneumons thus serve as another example of the diversity and balance of living things that man has yet to comprehend fully. -

Can't argue with what sizmik says. Seems like they have a number of lawyers on the writing committee.

Oct 15 WT life story of Fred Rusk beating children to attend church not a good idea?
by life is to short ini was just flipping through the oct 15 witness only wt about fred rusk as someone on this board had posted about it.. one point that really caught my attention was when fred was talking about being raised by his aunts and how they forced him to attend the baptists church.
he says in his own words "grandfather's older daughters managed the household.
although he was not a religious man, his daughters were strict southern baptists.

Yup. He had little regard for religion at an early age but for some reason by the ripe old age of 15 could be interested in - wait for it - religion. I am constantly amazed as I read these "stories" and that is what they are, just stories, that I at one time read them and was impressed. Now, without the blinders on, they are just so silly. How many at this age can remember details like he relates. I know some remember quite well early life, but most like myself remember fragmented bits of "stuff" from early life. Anyway, his memories are tainted by who he became and he sees and remembers what he wants to. And isn't he and his dear wife so privileged to have a home and are cared for while so many others without the same standing are sent home when illness and old age make them less useful at BETHELL.

Can't be more ambiguous than that. I am looking for instances where they clearly state that one who leaves can be called or labelled an apostate. Not the "may" this or that as in the info above.
