  The youth is 17 not old enough to vote or drink alcohol in a licenced venue and is still considered a minor by law , yet the WT Society deems him old enough to make a life or death decision based on their interpretations of certain scriptures.

  How often do youths change their minds about anything once they advance more in age and maturity .

  Whose to say in 5 ,10 , 15 years he will even still be a witness .

  Its criminal that the jehovahs witnesses put such pressure on young people to conform to their ever changing doctrines that could mean the end of his life.

  I know him personally. He is a nice young guy. Always polite, quiet spoken.

  he is doing ok...seems to be in remission now from the cancer.

  family has become even more "determined in the faith"

  Funny how the jehoobie witlesses will support the efforts of a "mature minor" to throw their life away for a book printing cult, but will not allow the same mature minor to say he doesnt want their so-called "TROOF" and refuse to be baptised. All such children are to be kicked to the kerb, according to talks at the a$$emblie$ last year.
