The Society, Race, and an always white Adam.
by nicolaou inokay, it's an old question but we haven't examined it here yet so let's have your thoughts.. adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.. the hebrew people were not selected as jehovah's chosen nation until abram had found favour with god so presumably all races were equal in his eyes before then [as indeed they always have been].. so then, what basis is there, if any, for deciding what adam and eve's skin colour may have been?.
could they not indeed have been black?.
this is a pointless discussion i grant you.

(A Childhood Memory) THE MYSTERY OF THE LOCKED CABINET
by TerryWalstrom inthe mystery of the locked cabinet.
when i was about 10 years old, there was a tall, white handmade cabinet back in one of our storage sheds (a converted chicken house from back in the 30's, when my grandparents raised chickens in the great depression).
affixed to its door, there was a big padlock on the cabinet.

I always thought it outrageous that the movie 'Birth of a Nation' in 1915 portrayed the Klansmen as heroes and was the highest grossing film until the late 30's . Then one of the major Watchtower articles in the 20's was also named 'Birth of a nation'. Surely the readers back then made the connection.

Before many conclusions could be drawn, we would need to know something about the assumptions used. Anything before the time of writing is largely an educated guess. Even in more recent times, there is great uncertainty. There are wildly different estimates of the population of the Americas prior to 1492, for instance.

Many songs have a Wikipedia entry. Why doesn't someone create one? This is one thing the wiki folks would allow.

My Take on the Convention
by xjwsrock in4300 in attendance - 17 baptized.
odd mix of congregations assigned, i'm sure to throw off any scent of a decline.. no distinction made whatsoever between loyalty to jehovah god and loyalty to the watchtower bible and tract society.
the convention is riddled with parts whipping up your love for the creator and jesus, with a quick reminder that the wbts are their gatekeepers.. parallels are implied constantly between israel and jehovah's witnesses.

How baptism rate at conventions relates to yearbook growth rate (Discussion)
by bohm inwe had a number of posters report on the baptism rate at conventions which is usually less than 1% and rates lower than 0.5% is by no means uncommon.
despite this there is still a positive growth rate in the us (0.71% according to the yearbook) and i wonder how these numbers relate.
i wonder if anyone can help me out if these assumptions are true:.

correction: The 1973 Detroit convention had 982 baptized with 49,911 attendance, which rounds to 2.0%.
