Born ins..Were You Forced to Be a JW Growing Up?

by LostGeneration in

myth: parents who are jehovahs witnesses.

force their children to follow their faith.. fact:witness parents strive to inculcate love.

for god in their offspring, just as the bible.

This is the WTS admitting in a roundabout way that they are losing many of their "born-ins". What they don't bother to say is that by the time the children become adults, they have already been baptized and are officially a member of the organization. Choosing to leave as an adult isn't as simple as "making a personal choice with regard to worship". Now they have to weigh the considerations of losing family, home, job, support; because this is what will happen if they choose some other avenue of worship

So true Undercover , I was 8 years old when my parents converted as JW, and the constant indoctrination,guilt trips,etc, I was baptized as soon as I turned 14. So by the time I became a adult , I couldn't take back the baptism. Up to this day there has been no normal relationship between my parents and I.

WT: "Disfellowshipped teenagers = Nadab and Abihu"

by cedars in

continuing on my objective sojourn through the latest watchtower study editions, i thought i would write a few words about the article "god's rest - have you entered into it?

" taken from the july 15th watchtower.

incidentally, this watchtower is the same one that i discussed on my previous post concerning the society's latest bout of apostate-bashing.

That's what is great about this site, I get to understand when my parents go on a rollercoaster ride of emotions when dealing with their DF/DA children.

Interracial Marriage

by Quendi in

here is a question i want to pose because i do not know the correct answer.

i have seen many interracial married couples among jehovah's witnesses--moreso than i have seen in other religions.

however, i have been told that once upon a time, interracial marriage was frowned upon by the wts hierarchy.

COLORED BRANCH
A few years ago the work amongst the colored
brethren of the United States was organized separately,
not for the purpose of separating those who are
in the Lord, but with the thought of rendering more
efficient service amongst the colored people. The
Lord’s blessing upon this effort shows that it was a
wise course to take. The colored brethren have their
own organized classes, and many class workers and
colporteurs in the field. They have put forth a splen-
did effort during the year past, and the results are
gratifying.
The pioneer colporteurs in the field have placed
