Are 800 new JWs really baptised per day?
by losthusband ini came across the quote below on a yahoo answers page discussing the growth of religon:.
i'm one of jehovah's witnesses and on average every day 800 people are baptized as jehovah's witnesses.
these are individuals who have studied the bible for a period of time and have to show that they understand, truly believe and want to live by god's standards.

by losthusband inwhilst trying to discuss the history of jwism with my family, the 1914 and 1919 dates were brought up!.

Biblical Creation vs Darwinism vs Young Earth "Creationism" - "Remain Close to Jehovah"
by losthusband indon't know if anyone has seen this....... .
biblical creation vs darwinism vs young earth "creationism" - "remain close to jehovah" - youtube video posted by a jw from the recent convention.. it might just be me, but in the middle section does the guy say that jws should seek out knowledge.
and then say that jehovah has given them all the knowledge they need in awake magazines.. not much seeking required there.....try going to library......ooops forgot... they would find out the real truth then!!.

Anyone here from the North West of England!
by losthusband inas i continue my research to enable me to help my family see that they are not actually in "the truth", i am am looking to meet with a "real-life" ex jw, or at least converse with one via email etc.. it does appear that there are some differences in organisational rules/regulations/enforcement across the world, so i would like to speak to someone who is local and familiar with the uk set up.. i don't have any particular questions etc.
at the moment, it would just be nice to have a friend who i can ask help from and maybe even offer some support myself.......maybe even buy them a pint!!!.
cheers!

Discounted Insurance for JWs - www.4jws.com - Honesty does Pay!!!!
by losthusband inthis is advertised on a banner ad on jwn.. "in this old system honest people are often penalised - paying more for shopping, insurance and so-on in order to pay for those people who are dishonest.
thankfully even organisations in the world are beginning to recognise the real value of an honest trustworthy customer or employee.".

Baptism & Blood Cards
by losthusband inhi all.. (unfortunately) my step-daughter will be getting baptised in a few weeks.. as she knows i am strongly against this she will not discuss any of the procedures etc.
with me.. could someone fill me in as to what the actual procedure is?.
also what happens about the "blood card" she has to carry, is this given once baptised or would she already have one....again this is a sore point between us........she is only 17..... is this card legally binding as she is officially a minor?.
