Percentage of publishers that are baptized?
by Gayle inand how old does a "publisher" (one that turns in a 'report') have to be?
i forget how that works.. most churches require their members to be baptized to be counted.
but jws count publishers, though maybe not baptized, so that would be a lot of their children.. i do see the percentage of jws baptisms are clearly decreasing, though their "publishers" percentage they claim are increasing..

"New Light" on "New Light" creates a dilemma (July 15, 2010 WT)
by pirata infor the majority of my years in the truth, the "new light" did not bother me at all.. i reasoned this way: "the faithful slave is imperfect, right?
logically they're going to make mistakes.
the main thing is that they're trying to do god's will they best they can and stick as close to the bible as they understand it.

'Unbiased' Study Bible or Commentary Recommendations?
by pirata inare there any commentaries or study bibles that anyone can recommend?
i'm not sure if it's possible to be 100% unbiased, but looking for something that tries to keep theological speculation, or scripture bending to fit theology, to a minumum.. esv study bible was referenced in another thread, but the description says it is "evangelical".
not sure if that indicates a theological bias or not..
