wasblind, you just don't know what you missed by not getting baptised.
Congratulations on being too smart to get dunked.
Personally, I got rebaptised as a Christian after I left the cult.
we have been going through our literature and throwing away a lot of it which feels great.
my hubby came cross the program from my baptism in 1986. the divine peace dc held in the astrodome in houston, tx.
he always wrote the attendance and the amount baptized so on that day there were 30,894 in attendance nd 531 baptized!

is this just a local practice to south florida or is it done in other areas too?.
i'm driving to work last week and on one of the most popular radio stations (primarily talk and politics) they were advertising the district assembly in west palm beach florida for next week.. it was about a 30 second spot and was the typical "everyone is invited ... no collections taken" .... etc.
etc.. is this common in other areas ???.
'No collections taken..."
Wait until the visitors see the big brown "Contributions for the World Wide Work" boxes at the end of every session.
the rest of us should remember that we are guests here and should mind our manners accordingly..
I found out the truth about the U.N. on this site.
I printed out the emails between the Guardian and the Watchtower, the letter from the U.N. and the
Guardian newspaper articles and showed them to 2 elders after they denied the allegations that the WTBTS had
affiliated with the U.N. in any way.
They called the P.O. and he said that there had been a letter from the WTBTs regarding it but couldn't remember
where he had placed it in his files (uh huh).
This is definitely a discussion forum for JW's who are interested in TTATT.
....when they did not include a translation of the hebrew scriptures in your special kingdom interlinear bible?
perhaps it is easier to manipulate the new testament to fit with their twisted jw teachings?.

Julia,
Burn the calendar!!!
It's demon infested.
The demons always find their way into an apostate's home and are particularly fond of living in and around shit from Jehovah's organisation so they can make sure no one takes in the good spiritual food it provides through the faithful and discreet slave AKA Octopope.
my husband has started playing violent samurai video games again!
he's grown a beard!
he watched lord of the rings!.
I hope you are happy.
Because you have left Jehovah's organisation who taught you that Jesus is stunt double Michael and the angel of the abyss in charge of the locusts AKA 144,000 mentally disturbed individuals except for Octopope at Bethel who came out of the pits of hell and rejected the faithful and discreet slave who were appointed in 33 A.D. uhhh... 1919 A.D., he is going to have to kill you.
Congratulations on your progress!!!
Way to go Malcolm!!!!
Love the three 6's he he he he he.

You nailed it, Terry.
i always was a critical jw, now df and agnost.
but still this religion fascinates me.
in my eyes most jw are very sincere, but dumb sheep.. this board is filled with ex-jw.
1009 has left the building.
so i tt mom and dad via skype last weekend (they live on the other part of the county) and the topic of abuse came up.
of course they went ahead and blasted catholics for their coverups.
i mentioned gonzalo campos, now mom and dad know this guy he went to their hall for several years in san diego.
I feel for you Guapo.
You know what to do about the elders so I will only make one comment...
Thank God I am out of that messed up cult.

1009, have you considered seeking professional counseling?
