Why I remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Brother Jeramy inallow me to begin with a clarification: when i say i am one of jehovah's witnesses, i don't mean that i am an advocate of the watchtower society or a devotee of some of its more controversial false teachings.
i mean that i am a christian, a disciple of jesus christ dedicated to jehovah god, and who remains in union with my brothers and sisters who make up the family of faith that globally refers to itself as jehovah's witnesses.
some totally understand the distinction between the family of brothers and sisters and the corporate organization known as the watchtower society (wts).

Young baptism a double standard with marriage?
by thedepressedsoul ini remember tons of young ones getting counseled for being too young to date and for marriage.
the elders said, "marriage is the 2nd biggest dedication of your life (baptism being 1st), at 20 you still don't know who you are or what you want.
you can't possibly make a decision like that, that young!

I think the science is still being debated So you may have a shot ;) The point is 9 or 10 is way way too young to get married and certainly too young to join a cult -

BJ, i totally respect your right to kiss hanks ass. Personally, im 100% good with it and it dosent bother me in the least. Many of my family still kiss his ass and i love them just as i always have... The problem is your thread tittle didnt say you were still kissing hanks ass (worshipping jesus/god in some form or fashion), your thread says you are still one of the desert gods witnesses. You cant take the name without the beliefs. To identify yourself as a modern day witness of that particular deities mistranslated name identifies you with the watchtower bible tract society and all their requisite beliefs. You cant pick and choose and keep the name. So kiss hanks ass in any way that makes you happy, just be honest with yourself as you do it
@lol djs :) cracked me up as always

as long as shunning continues donations will be slow
by poopie inone of the reasons the watchtower is having problems with donations is because they have refuse to let go of wholesale across the board shunning.
the average publisher is sick of it and jehovah is withholding his full blessing.
when you do not show love to fellow humans you run the risk of not being able to show love which i'm turn has a direct relationship to your joy in turn if your not happy your not motivated to donate lots of money to and arrangement you perceive as unloving all you bethel lurkers convey this message to bro letters and rest of gb stop trying to convince fair minded people to support unloving shunning.

I say it all the time.... End the shunning policy and 1/3 are gone immediately, another third in 2 years. It will never end. I think they know it would end the org as it stands today. It will never end.
