No. You absolutely should not get baptized. The simple fact that you are asking if you should means you shouldn't.

Should I get babtized?
by BlackWolf ini know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.
she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.
my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

Isn't it always the JW way to try and mock commend first, then after you get em all warm and fuzzy, tell em what they need to do in order to not get murdered by Jesus at Armageddon? (donate money, it's all Jesus wants)
In this case it is more opportunities to "commend" the flock for their donations, explain what has supposedly been done with said donations, and then explain how there is this huge need for more money because of all this work that is left to do and ask for more money but say "we aren't asking" we are just sharing with you this information and you can decide what you want to do with that information.

Try clearing your browser cache/cookies/temporary Internet files. It clears up a lot of issues.
Restart your macbook.
Install chrome if you want to try a different browser and get the adblock extension.

Finding the value of God; Isn't it better to believe in a deity?
by Caupon inthe question as to what believing in this entity called god entails is a fairly important question that needs to be answered first.
to me, the key difference between a universe in which god exists versus one where god doesn't lies in the idea of teleology.
in my view, a universe with god entails some sort of process towards an end, an end which can be characterized with words such as bliss and unity and others.

Walking a thin line - Resigning Elder
by Sanchy inwarning of a long boring post ahead.
i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.
i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.

You can vent here.
Hate to say it, but in the org you really can't vent to anyone. They will try to understand, but they will not listen to what you are really saying, and you won't tell them how you really feel and think. It's like a half hearted half truthful conversation that will leave you at the mercy of the orgs procedures when they eventually rat on you. As an elder you know how that will go. If you step back, breathe, take care of you and yours, people will stop hammering you.
It's going to be a long, difficult road ahead one way or another. See if you can meet up with some work friends or people from here, I know it sounds weird but talking to someone about leaving the truth is more inspiring than any conversation you've ever had about someone coming into the truth.
Good luck and please ignore ice's comments, that is just silly.

Feel sorry for the ones that chose poorly (according to the video) and now are guilt shaming their mates for not being a good head/supportive wife.
Or they are just quietly wishing they could have a do over.
Not so subliminal messages:
- people at work are bad, mmmmkay.
- People who laugh or text during a meeting are bad, mmmmkay.
- Guys sit with guys.
- Girls sit with girls.
- No mingling until you are ready to make a move. Just sit back and observe the "appearance" given by people at the Kingdom Hall and JW gatherings. Such a good indicator of who a person is right there.

Kinda Sad Re: Cart "Witnessing"
by Captain Schmideo2 inslightly redacted for privacy of those involved.. so, this is "park witnessing" in oklahoma.. the parks in this community are basically walking trails and some tatty playground equipment.
most of the time, sparsely used, and today was a very blustery day.. notice the justifying comment- "quite a few" checking out the cart.
i am sure they were..... .
