Comments Please
by searcher inisaiah 10:1,2 (nwt) .
woe to those who are enacting harmful regulations and those who, constantly writing, have written out sheer trouble, 2 in order to push away the lowly ones from a legal case and to wrest away justice from the afflicted ones of my people
sounds prophetic to me!

Why dont JW's have a youth group?
by In_between_days insomething that has been alarming to my jw family is the amount of teens ("young ones") that have bailed out of the organisation, never to return.. they use the excuse, as would most jw's that "satan is getting them - he knows young ones are vulnerable.".
if you want my opinion, young people are getting far more educated - they are becoming far more broad minded than they were say 10 or 20 years ago.
because of the slow yet sturdy slackening of the "no college" rule, many more young jw's are attending university or college than ever before, and with further education comes more knowledge, more interaction with reasonable and intelligent conversations with educated people and most importantly -use of the internet ("satans latest tool, as put by a jw i talked to recently).

Rodney Stark Video
by herbert inthere seems to be speculation that dr. stark might have been misquoted by the wts in his comments on molestation.
certainly, he might have been misled by the wts publications and by the spin put on by the organization.
however, at http://jw-media.org there is (a) a video interview with him and (b) a transcript.. now, janh has apparently raised concerns about "smearing" dr. stark.
