I feel this image is all about attempting to look legitimate as more and more of their ugliness/psychosis is exposed ala JW.org, JW tv and the ongoing and increasing legal cases surrounding the pedophile/child abuse problem.

Why are the Jesus people so obsessed with spreading their message?
by fulltimestudent inare they fearful that they are mistaken, so they must argue with everyone, and try to prove all otehr religions wrong, but their's right?.
i'm not talking about the well-known jw persistence, in which we all once shared.. i'm talking about nearly all brands of christianity, the witnesses and their other branded counterparts.
here are two incidents to demonstrate.. a week or so back, i read in a chinese newspaper of a complaint by two tibetan buddhist women in the city of xining, qinghai province, in western china.

They're still stuck in the 1st century.
Think about it... when you first start a new organization, you need membership so as rebel8 said, they had to 'spread the word' in order to increase the flock. The agenda is clearly documented in the Bible. If you don't get 'reborn' as a Christian, you risk judgment and eternal punishment/torture. We've got all the answers. Sign up now and be saved. You will have eternal happiness after you die.
I like to point out to Christians that if spreading their message is so important, why are they doing a piss poor job of it? I usually get the offended look. I then say, "Look. There are 7 billion people and growing in the world. Christians amount to about 2.5 billion. That's less than half the world's population. There are people born on this Earth, that live their entire lives and die without ever having heard of Jesus. So I guess they're screwed then?"
Kinda like these peeps:

New Light - How would you feel reading this as a JW?
by Ginx in"scripture can be likened to a lamp which illuminates the truth.
it's mission is to shed the light of truth.
when a brighter light appears, the mission of the old one fades.

lambsbottom said: Holy smoley! My wife said she thought it was from the WT.
It certainly sounds like something the WT would publish. 'Cult speak' at its finest.
What I never could accept was that if Jehovah/scripture/God/The Flying Spaghetti Monster/Jibbers Crabst (the newest interwebs deity) kept making the light 'brighter', why didn't he/they/it/she just come right out and say the real truth right off? What's with all the obfuscation and years of f'ing with mankind?
Simple answer: There is no grand Sky Daddy directing anything or anyone, least of all any organized Christian religion, on the face of this Earth. It's all coming from the human imagination and psyche. And that explains a lot.

rebel8, the 2 songs you've listed rankle me immensely. "Please Come Home For Christmas" irritates me too. As a matter of fact, many Christmas songs do.
One that I do absolutely love though is Metallica's and Trans-Siberian Orchestra's instrumental versions of Carol of the Bells .

Can anyone tell me any narrative of having successfully avoided Baptism while being raised JW?
by SonoftheTrinity ini just worry for my stepkids about their future that way..

My Mom actually did not encourage child baptism - she felt this was a decision that should be made as an adult. She used Jesus as the example.
Whew! I am so glad she did.

Hassan's B.I.T.E Model is a good indication. JWs hit every one of his criteria.
