Rec'd a letter from my Dad - need some advice...

by Fadeaway3pointer in

fader here - last meeting was in autumn 2005. lurker on this site and others.

not one to get all controversial.. typical situation, pretty much a born in and left the church at age 38 and never looked back.. i'm 53 now, parents getting older - late 70s but very active, dad is still an elder.. parents, in laws, brother and brother-in-law still uber active jws.. my family (wife and 2 adult children) out since 2005.. we have stayed close to our parents - we have treaded religion lightly and have had a pretty good relationship and have kept our personal lives and beliefs/opinions separated from them.

this was intentional - as we love them and do not want anything to cause shunning since they are getting older and want to be there for them and we respect their beliefs.. got this letter today.

Just because they shun uou..you dont have to shun them just carry on..family business as usual.

If the subject of you returning to jehovah does come up....just reply that IF you decide to..it will be on Your terms..and in your own good time...and any further shunning from then will only serve to drive you further away.

Is it possible to nullify a baptism?

by idk123 in

hope you are all well,.

i was wondering within the organisation if there are any guidelines or grounds for nullifying a baptism.

see i grew up a jehovah's witness and was baptised at age 13, i didn't get baptised for the right reasons, i felt pressured to because my friends were getting baptised at the same time.

A point to remember if family members shun you....it isnt by mutual agreement. So..if you choose to talk to a family member..then do do..just as you would to anyone else. They can reply..or ignore you. If they do so..the word ignore changes to ignorant. Do you want to talk to ignorant people?

How can a building dedicated to God, be sold?

by krismalone in

i was just wondering this morning about all the kingdom halls and branches being sold to "babylon the great" and other businesses.

every single kingdom hall and bethel branch that has been sold was "dedicated to jehovah" by the watchtower corporation.

a special meeting with a guest speaker gives a talk and then offers a prayer dedicating the building to yhwh.

Even jehovah. No doubt the watchtower would sell Him off if the price was right

Actually..thats not a bad idea..the perfect scam.

'Jehovah's Witnesses' Label Added to Trolley

by cofty in

yesterday i noticed on four trolleys i passed (and had a long useful conversation at one but more on that later) they had added a label identifying themselves as jehovah's witnesses.

it was just a simple printed piece of white card stuck on next the logo.. is this a new requirement?

was it a directive from hq or i wonder if the local council require it..

stan livedeath

I wonder...if the cult decided it would good for publicity if the cart attendants dressed up in crazy outfits...how many would do it?

Has leaving made you racist

by Steel in

so i use to go this hall that was basically 100 percent white and basically anyone under the age of 40 has either faded or makes a token effort to keep the peace at home, of course outside of the usual dregs of society .

the hall went from two congs to one and i was quite happy that in ten years they would be lights out.

then in the last two years about six young filipino families have moved in and three of them are newly baptized .

Possibly running low on literature..so stuck the label on to deter any passer by from stopping and taking anything.
