If your not baptized in the name of the father, son and holy spirit. was your baptism official

by goingthruthemotions in

matt 28:19 "go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit,.

i don't ever remember hearing at my baptism nor any other baptism of a jw.

the person giving the baptism talk or person doing the dunking saying that i/we are baptized in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.. so i have come to the conclusion that my/our baptism's are not official.

Honesty

You were baptised into a cult that worded the baptism so that you can't win a lawsuit against them when you are shunned by your relatives if you decide to leave and sue the cult because you are being shunned.

The JW baptism has been based on legalities since 1985 so the society doesn't incur liability when your relatives follow rules and regulations instead of following Jesus' example of love.

I feel sorry for everyone who has relatives in the cult.

So my mom called me out on Facebook today

by lriddle80 in

my dad posts the daily text on facebook everyday.

today's text had to do with disfellowshipping and this is what my mom commented on it:.

mom: i have a daughter also who is baptized but not disfellowshipped but doesn't want to learn about jehovah i pray that she see's soon before jehovah closes the door!.

Honesty

Your mom is scared because she really believes that God is going to have to kill all nonJW's, including her own family members.

Jehovah's Witnesses have an unhealthy fear of God because of the lies they have been told by false prophets who produce religious literature filled with failed interpreted prophecies, constantly changing doctrines (read Ephesians 4:14 and see who it applies to), medical policies that have caused many of their followers to lose their lives prematurely, etc.

Your mom needs prayers asking that God start a good work in her like He did with you and your husband (Phillipians 1:6).

It was terrifying the the first time I attended to worship services at a church after I left the JW's.

I thought God was going to strike me dead on the spot when I pulled into the parking lot and saw the cross above the building.

I asked Him to let me know what to do and it was if I was being pulled against my will to the front door.

I went in and met my friend who had invited me and within 30 minutes inside I knew that almost everything I had been told abour 'Christendom' as I was growing up was not true.

It was as if God had pulled a blind fold off my eyes. I heard things about Jesus that I had never heard in a kingdom hall or read in a Watchtower magazine.

A lot of JW's would leave the cult if they had heard what I heard about Jesus during that sermon.

I think you may have opened a door for your mom with what you told her.

Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?

by booker-t in

this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.

the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.

Honesty

booker-t,

Here is the trinty doctrine in simple terms:

The Father is God.

Jesus is God

The Holy Spirit is God.

The Father is not Jesus or the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is not the Father or the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is not the Father or Jesus.

Appeal Against Elders Decision... Can Anyone Advise..

by Almond in

i meet a 6 years baptised jw girl.

we planned to marry here in philippines ( no divorce here }.

judge told me he can do the marriage so we livived together to be married.

Honesty

Almond, why are you allowing some widow washers to control your life?

Those fools have not been educated to deal with situations such as the one you are in.

Just leave them alone and live your life in happiness.

BTW, the Jehovah's Witnesses are so far away from the truth they wouldn't recognize it even if Jesus appeared in every kingdom hall and taught them truth.

They would disfellowship Him... Oh, they already have disfellowshipped Him in favor of their Governing Body.

Facebook Site

by Ding in

i ran across a facebook site entitled "ask a jehovah's witness anything.".

it seems to be run by jw elders for jws and studies who are seeking information about "the truth.".

they don't want apostates there or wt bashing.. i wonder if some people here would like to go to that site and ask questions.. of course, it would be easy to say stuff there that would get you banned.. i think the challenge would be to be respectful and see how long they will tolerate genuine questions.. i don't know how much follow-up they will allow.. of course, if you're fading, that's not a place to post.. .

Honesty

I am for leaving them alone and allowing the idiots to bask in their delusions in peace.

Tomorrows World - Sister Religion to Jehovahs Witnesses?

by lostlantern in

http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/welcome.shtml.

my husband and i watched a sermon today and it was eerily familiar, very weird.

go to this website and look at their magazines, twins i swear!

Honesty

I turned the TV on this morning without checking the TV Guide.

A Tomorrow's World snake was blathering on and on about the beast of Revelation.

Since leaving the Jehovah's Witness cult I always google any religious broadcast that pops up on the TV screen.

It took less than 30 seconds to see JWN and www.Tomoorowsworld.org at the top of the rankings.

I looked at www.Tomorrowsworld.org first and the slide show told me all I needed to know about this group.

1. "Easter or Passover: Which is for Christians? Does it matter which festivals you observe? The answer may surprise you!" Passover Good, Easter Bad Easy to figure out this group is into Judaism and hates Jesus.

2. "Who Has The Truth?" A DEAD GIVEAWAY...It's a CULT

3. "What is ahead for Humanity?" What is the hope for humanity? What is the Good News that Jesus taught?

Reminded me of an Awake! magazine. 100% Cultshit wrapped in fluff to confuse the masses.

4. God's master Plan by Roderick C. Meredith Rod Meredith has been a false prophet since the mid 1950's.

I quickly switched to a real Christianj broadcast where the topic was about Jesus saving mankind from their sins.

Baptism

by Vindico in

is there a scripture that states that our salvation is based on getting baptised?.

Honesty

The thief on the cross next to Jesus wasn't baptised.
