This is a big change. So, I've seen unbaptized publishers be removed but I've never heard of someone baptized not allowed to be a publisher. How is this going to work? Hmm, I see some metrosexual suits in my future!!!

i think this is amazing!

Love the fact these things continue to be leaked.
What a sick video. It seems they are definitely getting more hardcore in shunning even immediate family members. Cult

Died Due To Refusing Blood Transfusion
by rrb2016 inwell, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.
she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.
i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.

"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)
by Poztate inin the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .
(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.
i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

thought I was the only one that had nightmares about being tortured during the GT! I remember being about 10 and thinking that the military would just come bursting in one day during the meeting.
I think the good thing with the videos are that kids are so conditioned to view everything as a TV show/movie and not real that this may not have much of an effect on them. The adults on the other hand will eat this up.

I'm getting baptized
by BlackWolf ini know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.
my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.
i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

Wow, what a great response. Even if you don't wake him up, at least maybe he'll back off a bit. I'd suggest you take each topic you want to discuss and outline it with your thoughts. Maybe post them here and the board can give you specifics thoughts. -

So the one report says their family didn't ask for it? How bizarre is that? This thing is taking some crazy turns. I've never heard (JW or not) of a funeral being held that the family didn't want. Weird. -

Another generation....
by joey jojo init has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

TD - I think you are attempting to apply logic to a theology that's not logical.
JWs/WT = the visible or earthly part of Jehovah's organization is the only theology that matters to the average JW. Everything else is simply noise.
Of course, there are some that try to delve into theological type of thinking but honestly those people are few and far between in my experience. And the ones that do are often viewed suspiciously.
I honestly don't understand Fisherman's argument either. Fisherman, if you are a JW, TD offered the official explanation. There is a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. After the Thousand Year Reign is up, there's a final test and Judgement Day is at the end. Everyone alive is judged on whether they followed Satan and the demons once set free from the abyss. If you pass (twice if you live through Armageddon) the final test, then you are home free. If not, you are destroyed forever along with Satan & the demons. And the petting of pandas can continue! Come on, you know that's the teaching! Seriously there is no way that you could be a JW for any length of time and not know that.
