JohnAquila - I hate to say this, but I wonder if the GB prefer children!
i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.
the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

for decades, i slaved for wts, mentally, emotionally, financially, familially, socially, educationally.. at times, when i was the only one caring for the maintenance needs of the local kh, and being discouraged at the "sacrifices" being contributed to the borg, my spouse would say: "jehovah sees what you are doing.".
and yet, later, my spouse turned on me, turning instead to "jehovah's elders" and totally threw me under the bus.. paul, allegedly, said in hebrews: "for god is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.".
i feel nothing of the sort.. does anyone feel similarly?.
"For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name."
Sounds familiar;
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
Checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
i'm confused.
reading the day's text for yesterday, they talk about jesus coming and that it is a future time after the great tribulation.
i thought they have always said he came in 1914 and earlier at other times (russell).. .
He did come, but not to America to inspect his corporation.

Did they have spectacles in Noah day?I
I guess that explains that little indiscretion. Noah thought it was his wife. Surprise!
(Genesis 9:24, 25) . . .Finally Noah awoke from his wine and got to know what his youngest son had done to him.
can history really be destroyed?.
would otherwise moral authorities participate in such destruction?.
can we believe there is accuracy in historical documents pertaining to the early christian church?.
Eusebius was frustrated that Papias interpreted things literally, and accused him of “misunderstanding the apostolic accounts, not perceiving that the things said by them were spoken mystically in figurative language.”
So in other words it’s like me coming home from work and saying, “I'm so hungry I could eat a cow”
Of course I can’t eat a cow, but Papias would have taken it literally.
I wonder what else was taken literally or misunderstood by some of those writers of the Gospels?
Quote By Jesus after He hits his thumb with a hammer; “Well I’ll be a Son of a gun”
Same quote by Jesus written by a writer; “I am the Son of God”
so i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.
i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.
i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..
John, the WTS calls it "micro-evolution" to distinguish it from "macro-evolution". But of course they will not (and cannot!) explain where the boundary would be then between these two.
Thanks Nelim!
imagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.
they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.
persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.
and the ORG is called "Mother."
