It's interesting that they only have 1 book. I don't think they are going to make millions.

Come to think of it, I don't know why we were given the Family Book
by Nosferatu ini know it's a jw tradition at worldly weddings to give the stupid family happiness book.
i really don't know why it was given to us, since i told my mother that i have all the publications on the wt cdrom.
i could read it if i wanted to.. i'm guessing it's a way to enforce it, or possibly convert my fiance, which is very doubtful from everything i've told her, and especially after she saw the fifth estate special.

The Family book has more than 1 use. If you read it into a tape player, then play the tape backwards it will tell you how to totally destroy your family and cause lifelong emotional harm to your children. Nifty little book actually.
(Congrats on the wedding!)

Old JW books & Apostate literature
by AuSet ini had a funny experience at work the other day.
i'm working at a christian college for the summer as an electrical apprentice....we've been in the library for the last couple of weeks, and i happened to discover several old, old jw books (the old paradise lost book, and many others) right alongside of crisis of conscience, and several other "apostate books" .....whoo hoo, was i excited!
all the jw literature had taped written warnings on the outside of the book covers, saying "do not read for any purpose other than to study the jw religion!!

Auset - Welcome to Junior Memberdom! I read CoC about 2 months ago -- after being out for 18 years!! Even after 18 years that book really made my head swim!! Brace yourself for some really appalling "insider" information! I couldn't put it down. I wonder what other apostate stuff they had?

Baptism
by ConcernedMom inwhat is the usual age for someone raised as a jw to be baptised?
is the belief that you must be a baptised jw to survive armageddon?

I was baptized at 13 and that was WAY too young. It is a major life decision - one that should not be made until a person is able to make other, equally significant decisions. The reason that it is significant in the JW religion is the ramifications of that decision. If a baptized person ever changes their mind about the religion they are disfellowshipped and other members are not allowed to speak to them....including family members.
IMO its no different than allowing a 13 year old to get married. We can be sure that, given time, the mind of a 13 year might change. That's a given considering their developmental stage. They should not later be punished for a bad decision and have to live with it for the rest of their lives - especially when they have older, wiser parents to help them avoid making irreversible decisions.
This obviously is not the answer you will get from the WTBTS - just my personal experiences and opinions.

Elder arrested for beating daughter
by ezekiel3 inelder david nesler was arrested in jackson california for striking his teen-age daughter (also a jw) in front of a high school.
he is currently released and an active jw member who is allowed to participate in meetings, although his status as an elder is unknown.. this was not alleged to be sexual abuse, but it does certainly call into question the discretion of this elder.
if this is what he does in public...?.

"The BIBLE said that all these things would....that was alive in 1914."
by hubert ini haven't read all the posts in this forum yet.
so, i apologize if this was covered before.
i found a statement written by "god's channel of communication" in the "you can live forever in paradise on earth" book, c.1982, page 154, par.

If so, where is this written in the Bible, and how can they get away with saying that "the Bible said it" if it really didn't?
Great post! You ask good questions. Unfortunately there are no answers that will make any sense. They have been getting away with it for a very long time and will probably continue to. For me, it's a matter of acceptance. My mom - and many millions of others - buy into every insane ranting word spoken by the WTS. Nevermind the evidence against them. Nevermind the lost family members. Talk about the discrepancies and you're a vile apostate.
