I have an in-law who is a pioneer. She has a sister who was inactive for awhile.
The pioneer used to be so concerned about her sister's children dying at Armageddon that she literally wanted to adopt her kids so that they would be saved by her righteous standing.
Her sister attends meetings again now so perhaps her children will be okay.
God only knows what she'll think about my child when I disassociate.
The pioneer used to be so concerned about her sister's children dying at Armageddon that she literally wanted to adopt her kids so that they would be saved by her righteous standing.
Does this come from the scripture about holding on to the coat tails of a JeW?
Do they teach a proxy clause now?
I believe the modern-day application is to "take hold of the skirt of a self-righteous pioneer". But I'd have to do a little research on that to be sure.
The doctrine taught by the Witnesses that includes the concept that minor children are saved by their legal guardian's works righteousness is called "family merit". There's a lot written under that topic for the reading enjoyment of all who will do a CD search.
My parents wanted me to sign over custody of my daughter, so she'd have a chance at everlasting life.
weird...then never worried about my son.
I gave them a big fat HELL NO to my daughter.

I don't have a CD to search.
So, does this mean the parents must turn in higher quota in FS to cover each child?
If one parent is df'd, does that screw the child's chances?
If legal guardian can "save" a child through door knocking, why does anyone need Jesus for salvation?
So how could she legally adopt her sister's kids unless she demonstrated to the courts that her sister was a seriously unfit mother. If she is so concerned about saving children, why not adopt children without parents? Some jws are fruitcakes in any setting.

Yep, they are...but being in a cult just enables them to be even fruitier...
So, does this mean the parents must turn in higher quota in FS to cover each child?It must. Ya might have to ask yer local Laundromat Witness how that works.
If one parent is df'd, does that screw the child's chances? I''d think it'd have to.
If legal guardian can "save" a child through door knocking, why does anyone need Jesus for salvation?No angles are needed for salvation, just the SDO. Jesus is the bad guy riding a ghost horse murdering children at Armageddon. See SDO mass produced tabloids.
