Two halls were within a block from a playground - so when kids were little, and "acting up," we went for a nice 1-hour break.
When they were older, I would sometimes nap in the car, or else 20-minute bathroom breaks playing games on the phone.

That website is simply scraping info from the CRA site, and filling in their own verbiage. JW's do not use the word "fundraiser" in their returns.

What is the main reason the Watchtower Society baptize their children so young?
by RULES & REGULATIONS injesus was thirty was he was baptized.
today, you hear of young children getting baptized as young as 10 years old.
the parents, family and congregation think it's a wonderful idea that someone dedicates their life to jehovah at such a young age.

@Rules you forget that at the time that Jesus walked the earth John the Baptist just started with baptising people.
furthermore billions of people (in other denominations that consider themselves christian) are baptised right after they are born
Anyway the main reason is,... WHY NOT baptise Teens? We let them make career and education choices that influence them the rest of their lifes at that age so why not the choice to serve Jehovah?
there are biblical examples of young people who make a stand for Jehovah,.. Samuel did, David did,.. Jesus did, to name a fewhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/284627/children-being-baptised-aid-book-v-insight-book
"The whole early period knows baptism only of adults"
Paragraph 1, Page 188
Either you follow the first-century or you don't.

I'm studying with Jehovah's Witnesses!!
by Kulotti79 inhello all... i currently studying the bible teach book and i'm just curious what information does the study conductor record about the student and is it passed on??
and they keep on saying "the truth" which is starting to get on my nerves.
lol.

Why are you "studying"?
Do you think it is the "only true" religion? If not, then stop now...before you get "love-bombed" into getting baptised...then dropped like a lead balloon shortly after.
Sorry - disagree.
If you have an exploratory personality, view this as a thesis opportunity to generate Cognitive Dissonance and develop conclusions.

It would depend upon how long you have been "studying" as to what type of info is passed on.
Generally, you have been used / are being used as a: "I started a Bible Study" "MY Bible Study (insert: should be MY Bible Student)," blah, blah, blah - "Thank you Jehovah" (also see conclusion of: Consoling a (Hot) Grieving Widow video).
When the CO visits, pubs are encouraged to arrange for the CO to attend PROGRESSIVE Bible Students.
Are you progressive enough? (Are you progressive enough, huh, are you? [Apologies - a bit Clint tonight] )

Funny post.
I have thought that about reality shows and movies for about 15 years - "Hope Armageddon doesn't come before ... "
We're such idiots.
