  Surely this brazen money begging must be waking up some of the dubs?

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the increasing number of young ones leaving "the truth", it is critical to brainwash them regularly from young!.

  monday, may 16. the one who has dealings with the stupid will fare badly.—prov.

  13:20.. a child could drift away gradually on a spiritually dangerous path, being tempted by harmful association or degrading entertainment.

  I wonder how long it will be before they will be baptising toddlers?

  CHILD BAPTISM

  by megabyte_vijay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is strange to read the last week watchtower that encouraging child/teenagers' baptism.

  even jesus was baptised as his 30. jws encouraging marriages at an older age.

  but why they are encouraging children to get baptised.

  I'm getting baptized

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  What about saying that you want to finish your college education first and face the test of faith that that will bring in order to know if you are ready? And then once you have finished your education then you high tail it out of there by getting a job and moving out.

  The JW's probably think this is giving a "good witness" (!) Fools that they are. Most jw's I've met seem to think that the rest of the world secretly agrees with the JW's in their view on gays.

  Again fools.

  Are the anointed really "lovely people"?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.

  and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.

  i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?

  Is this right? What was your experience of the anointed?

  I said recently to my jw parents that the WT is going to have to abandon the number of anointed being literal and also 1914. They were appalled and said that will never happen since both doctrines are core doctrines of the JW's.

  I wonder what their reaction will be if this does happen?

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new awake is up on jw.orgwith the legalization of gay marriage in many countries, they decided it was time to show: "what does thebible say about homosexuality?

  "does the bible promote prejudice?still, some people would say that the bible promotes prejudice against homosexuals and that those who adhere to itsmoral code are intolerant.

  ‘the bible was written at a time when people were narrow-minded,’ they claim.

  This article is still telling gay people that in order to be acceptable to God they need to change. I think alot of gays would find this idea to be very offensive.
