On the Eve of 2013, Predictions
by breakfast of champions innot predictions for 2013 per se, but a couple i could see happening in the not-too-distant future:.
the society takes the hundred year anniversary of 1914 head-on with more spin and disinformation.
already laid the groundwork with the "100 years ago" feature in the new yearbook.

by Dold Agenda inbiblestudies in the report, is the numbers they show us correct?.
i've been thinking of this, and as i am from sweden i use my own country as an example.. to notice is that sweden is high penetrated of internet.
the young ones here is often really good in english.. and i suppose that hardly one third of the jw kids finaly get baptised.. at most positive.. .

Innapropriate for young children? Scare tactics?
by The Quiet One ingods word for us through jeremiah page 128 '..his mother bought a ram and a ewe.
he looked after them, and the ewe produced two lambs a year, so the flock began to grow..."early one morning while i was still in bed," he recalls, "i heard them bleating.
when i finally did, i saw a pack of wild dogs running away from my lambs, which had their bellies ripped open.

WT to release tablet computer at next convention?
by moshe inthey could make a lot of money with this business model.
by selling their own dedicated hardware, new e-books wt literature, selling profitable internet service through their own "safe" proxy servers that screen out all dangerous material, and the jws can show catchy pre-loaded wt sales videos to householders at the door or in their studies.. i wonder if they can get a chinese knockoff tablet computer, like the hapiad, down to $99 and still make a big profit?
it comes with wifi - and is preloaded with the wt cd , some videos and other wt junk.. how much could they sell wt approved internet for?- going through their wt proxy screening server to keep us out.. books at conventions- they will have an e-reader version of books for sale immediately- those who want print versions will have to wait- and pay more.. they can bring their wt haipad to the meetings and read the wt lesson on it, don't even have to print them out.. this could have downsides, too - like when the kids figure out how to jail break them in order to watch what they want.. i could be wrong, but i think they could sellout a limit of 1000 $99 tablet computers in one hour after they are released- they would have to have mob control to keep order at the counter.

Small Victories!
by emperorslaundrist inmy husband's cult personality has relaxed since he's been seeing me go out in service and underline my watchtower, so yesterday it felt right to nudge him just a little more.
"you know, i normally love the watchtower articles but the one i'm studying for tomorrow is just crazy.
i'm beginning to think that there's a narcissist somewhere in the writing department.

san francisco three decades ago, a convicted kidnapper named phillip garrido stunned a leavenworth prison psychologist by turning down an offer most prisoners would leap to take help with a transfer to a mental health facility.. instead, garrido opted to spend at least three more years doing hard time so he could complete his religious studies.. along his twisted trail of drugs and sexual violence, records and interviews show that garrido invoked god at every turn before he was arrested aug. 26 and accused of kidnapping, raping and imprisoning jaycee dugard for 18 years in his backyard.. photos: missing girl found 18 years later.
again and again, he claimed he had found god.

you mean I don't know everything?!!!
by emperorslaundrist ini was a true blue dyed-in-the-wool starry-eyed believer until six months ago.
i've since been on a reading binge, everything my 'spiritual diet' never allowed before.
bible commentaries, 'apostate' books, occult, evolutionists, taoism, shamanism, philosophy and even my first trashy romance novel .

KM Bible Readings
by emperorslaundrist inback in 2009 jws started a new bible reading cycle with genesis.
i remember being really excited about the new schedule because with only 3-4 chapters a week we would really be able to dig deep into the scriptures.
i remember i couldn't wait until we got to my favorite parts of the bible- prov, ecc, psalms, jesus etc.. well, now with 2013 this bible reading cycle is concluding... and it was so disappointing.... .
