menrov: What does it even mean, a person who is “rightly disposed”???
In some Wt leaders cynical view: a naive convert, with a fistful of dollars for a green handshake, pioneer application, and ready to do anything to curry their god's favour.

like those performed by john, these baptisms symbolized the individuals’ repentance over sins.......however, after jesus’ death and resurrection, baptism would take on a much different meaning for his followers.. (not according to acts 2:28 - “repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of jesus christ for forgiveness of your sins, (as well as matt.

March 2018 Study Watchtower
by Listener inthe first study article is about getting bible studies and children baptized.
there is much more emphasis placed on parents to get their own children baptized rather than focusing on bible students.
they try to impress on others the need for urgency.

Wt may have lowered the age of consent, but even grown ups at their baptism do not understand, and are not advised what the clause " part of spirit directed organisation " really means.
Bible writers should have thought of that, and included it in the earlier extant scrolls. drole.

Wt prides itself on being the only true religion based on their "true", unique Bible interpretation doctrines. Exposures like the above demolish those claims. There can not be enough of them, even if only few are interested to read, and to be swayed by them. Proof has been published, ignoring it the becomes the non-readers problem.
The Elephant in the room is of course the talking snake, walking on water story collection in the first place.
500 assembled to have Jesus present ? in jws mind, that is a special assembly, can not be without new light, special announcement, Like "advertise, advertise the King [of 1914]--"

Confrontation. This may be you approaching a jw at a cart.
Jws have as matter of policy approached people at their doors, in the streets all the time, they are used to it, it can be done, if you are unknown to them in subtle ways. example
On a resort Island approached a cart cherub, and said I have a bible question for you: Cain and Abel, what did Abel do with the leftover meat from the sacrifice-- answer: "discarded it."--" the dump perhaps?" -- "nn--jeah" " where the meat always went, because nobody even the dogs would eat it?" food -meat- for thought. hopefully.

OC , Another photo would be the front cover of Maclean's magazine (year?) as "Man of the year" man o man.
Yes, a JW at his core. Blaming everyone and everything else for the persecution that they themselves invited and not only that, desired
Chapman and Greenlees, Covington, nice company.

SDA:
Sorry for the misspelling of Matt Lauer name.
that was a master stroke! You do not lay your partners, willing or not, on a matt.
as minimus noted earlier.
