So, why do they keep this idiotic practice going year after year?
For the same reason they keep teaching that 1914 was the beginning of the last days!!!

Convention Invites are Idiotic
by cookiemaster inso, like every year, there's a campaign going on about giving people convention invites and urging them to attend the convention.
what an utterly moronic waste of time.
we live 500+ kilometers away from the convention hall.

Terry, you've had a very interesting life. You could write a book. Oh wait you did write a book, I mean two. But it's not the same as being inside your head and feeling all the emotions and thoughts that went though your mind- real time. -

My Story of Waking Up - in retrospect
by cappytan inso, many of y'all know bits and pieces of my story of waking up, but i thought it might be nice to have it all in one place.. i was baptized at 11, auxiliary pioneered every summer, regular pioneer at 17, ministerial servant by 19, then went to bethel for a year.. i always had minor doubts from time to time, but nothing serious.
always dismissed doubts and decided to "just have faith.".
after leaving bethel, i was never really firing on all cylinders "spiritually speaking.

Yep, 587 did it for me to. Everything else was like water on a duck. It didn't phase me. It seems like the 607 vs 587 is a big shaker. If you don't wake up after thoroughly researching the information without bias, you will never wake up. -

The answer I got, mid 90s, was that a reverse transition would be expected -I guess there's only one way to find out the current view for 2015, I'm gonna have to call up an elder and ask what their view is today.

Thanks BluesBrother for that 1974 WT article.
An estimated 1,500 persons in the United States and about 150 in Britain have done so
Well it’s a lot different now than in 1974. And now that it’s being accepted, I would say that it’s going to be a problem for the WTS.
Quote:
We discover to our amazement that at least one out of every 2500 persons born male in the United States has already undergone S.R.S. to become female! This 1:2,500 estimate is vastly higher than the 1:30,000 estimate so oft-quoted by the medical community. The D.S.M.-IV number is clearly way off, and by at least a factor of 12! However, on closer examination we will find the error is far worse than that!
My estimates are quite consistent with the estimates of prevalence in other cultures where transsexuals have some means to gender transition. For example, estimates of the number of Hijra in India range between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 in a country of about one billion population. Given about 1.5 million post-op Hijra in a source population of about 375 million males over age 13, the prevalence of Hijra is on the order of is 1.5/375 = 1:250.
