There are some very Hypocrite JW's. The most aren't.
Infant Baptism
It's wrong to baptize a child, but a 9 year old witness is ok.
Well, this are really exceptions. Elders are informed that the person must be able to make a decision for themselves. Mostly youths are baptised around 15 or so. Sometimes later.
You hear of it quite often. My 8 yr old daughter was being pushed into baptism by an Elder until I told him to lay off. That the decision must be hers. She was baptised at 14.
Asking for donations
It's wrong to pass a donation plate, but ok to spend half the meeting asking for more donations.
The reason for not passing a donation plate is that everybody sees who put how much money.
So, they do not say it is wrong to ask for some donations. Don't see any hyprocrism here.
And money is mentioned sometimes but really not that much. Never half of the meeting.
No the reason was because it was something Christendom did, stems from Russells time. Besides it doesn't have to be a plate. Many churches use an offering bag, so no one can see what another has put in.
Money is mentioned every month at the service meeting when the " congregation accounts report" is dealt with. After telling us how much money they have sent to Bethel for the "Worldwide Work" and/or how much the CO's expenses were. We are then told theres not enough left to pay for the upkeep ofthe Kingdom Hall, so please could we have some more. Also every year you would get a Watchtower article dealing with what to do with your money, make a will leaving it to WT or congregation, Deed of Covenant, how to get tax aid on your donations etc.
Superstitions
Superstitions are wrong, but if Witnesses have a run of bad luck they will burn any second hand goods.
Sorry, never hear such a thing. Must be some local freeky metally ill witness proposing something like that.
Where have you been? This is common among JW's. Run of bad luck, or trouble at home. Must be demons. Did you buy anything from charity shop, been given second hand goods off non-JW relative or friend. Anyone brought "apostate" material into home. Well get rid of it!!
One story from my own congregation was that a sister was having a bad time. Visit from Elders. Elder looks at wallpaper in lounge. It has a fleur-de-lis (three feathers pattern) on it. Tells sister that its is a sign of the Trinity and needs to be removed. Thats why she was having troubles.
Just search on here and you will find plenty of the same from others.
