the wts has always included minors and adults in the same categories - publisher and baptized.. i am interested in knowing how many minors, approximately, are included in the publisher count.
and, at what age a person started publishing.
what age was the youngest publisher reported?.
My JW baptism in the mid 1980s was quite strange and unique. I was a child and had not yet been approved as a publisher. In fact no announcement was ever made in my entire life that "so-and-so is now an unbaptized publisher."
To complicate matters I had already previously been baptized as a child into my mother's religion and have actually never renounced this.
two weeks ago i got an email from a friend saying that according to a recent prophecy, trump would win the election by a landslide.
as i dug into it, i found the following:.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God." - 1 Thessalonians 4:16 American Standard version
why is it ok to look at naked pictures/videos of your wife/husband but porn if you look at another man/woman naked?.
if you happen to divorce your spouse is it then pornography if you look at naked/sex videos/pictures of them?.
The word "pornography" starts with the letter "p" the same as the word "pagan." Both words also contain the letter "g" as the middle letter. This letter "g" is also the first letter in the title "god" as well as "governing body" and "guardians of doctrine." Hence the Bible condemns all things pagan and all forms of pornography.
Are we not grateful that in the last days of this system of things god has revealed the us these gems of Bible truths to lead us on the right path towards everlasting life.

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.
is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.
there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.
scratchme1010 - There isn't such thing as the great tribulation.
Please no spoilers. I like the irony of watching all the JWs slowly growing old and slowly dying off without ever seeing the end, all the while proclaiming everything from the pyramids of Giza to WW1 and on to Trump as somehow fitting into their interpretation of the old testament and new testament.
i am incredibly disturbed.
many of the jws i'm still friends with on facebook are incredibly excited that trump won the american presidential race, posting, "yay!
i'm so happy!
