Yeuppers... I agree with you 100% on this. I was 16 when I was baptized and in my area, that is getting pretty darn old...so you better get the deed done with or something is wrong with you!!!

I was the last one in my group of friends who got dunked, PLUS I wanted to date and that was a no, no unless you had "dedicated your life to the org." Ya, I guess I felt a bit pushed into it. Everyone was happy when I made my decision, no questions about if I was REALLY ready or mature enough.

But 2 years later when I wanted to get married at 18, it caused a big fuss....

the following is an e-mail my husband sent his youngest sister ( her and her husband are still in) after a few weeks of our family going back and forth between her and her husband trying to defend our actions and reason for leaving the religion.. patricks predictions (at the risk of alienating you even more):.

in 20 years the 'end' will still be "just around the corner" jws will still feel like theyre not doing enough, even though most of their energy was spent in the society's interests you will have cast off many more friends and family at the society's behest you will still feel like this world can't go on any longer what you believe today will not be relevant after 20 years of "new light" you will be upset that i dare to speak this way, determined to prove your faithfulness to a man-made organization .

hold on to this email.

Patrick,

Although I realize the chief reason for your ever sending any form of e-mail regarding the witnesses is simply to get a rise out of me or whomever you choose to send it to- to simply get someone arguing, I will not.

However, what I will tell you is that this is ridiculous. You know my stand, you know **** stand but you and the rest of my family will not quit until I see things your way. I know what you believe, or should I say what you fail to believe in and what you hate and I am certain you know that you have made us well aware of this by now. So then, can you explain why you would outright ignore us and deliberately attempt repeatedly to force your opinion on us? This is of course a rhetorical question.

**** and I have given the rest of you guys “your space” so to speak, we do not bring up the subject of religion with you as we have realized there is no real middle ground. We never force our opinion on anyone else. We assumed that we could expect the same but apparently you just don’t get it.

So then, if you insist on making a public mockery of my beliefs and failing to see your fault in doing this, how can you really expect me to accept that and remain close to my “family”.

On a somewhat separate note it appears that you have become one of those people posting negative messages on the internet about the witnesses and Krissie is indicating that she is looking forward to a time when her parents will see things more clearly, and won’t be witnesses anymore. So Pat- it looks like you got what you wanted and it didn’t take long. Krissie followed after you because she really can see the truth now, right? Of course, how could anyone live in the same house as you and NOT see things your way? Now don’t you just want everyone to study the scriptures and publications from the witnesses and prove for themselves the light that you have found? How noble of you. Except that you don’t want people to read and examine things unless they get the same thing out of them as you do. You want a challenge and an explanation of ones believes but only if in the end it means you can prove how you are right or maybe just how the witnesses are wrong.

I have made my choice also and again, without getting into the various reasons for sake of redundancy, I do not agree with you, mom, dad, Kellie and Krissie and you ALL make it harder and harder for me to not be ashamed of you by what you say to me and also by what you do behind my back.

I’ve copied Krissie, Kellie and dad on this e-mail as well. I assumed they would all be seeing it anyway. I pray for you all and especially for mom that you can find some kind of peace and just let go of the anger you feel, even though you deny it is there. Perhaps one day you will be more inclined to spend time creating forwards to send to people about the wonderful creations from Jehovah and how fascinating his personality is. Real love draws attention to Jehovah and to Jesus and what hope there is for the future. If you think that this world is all there is and all there will ever be then I'm sad for you.

Patrick’s predictions (at the risk of alienating you even more):

In 20 years the 'End' will still be "just around the corner"

JW’s will still feel like they’re not doing enough, even though most of their energy was spent in the Society's interests
You will have cast off many more friends and family at the Society's behest
You will still feel like this world can't go on any longer
What you believe today will not be relevant after 20 years of "New light"
You will be upset that I dare to speak this way, determined to prove your faithfulness to a man-made organization

Hold on to this email. Remind me about it on March 30, 2026!!

One question: Why do you think I left? Please list your reasons. I’m interested in your opinion.

Patrick – of the “persuasive heretic” class.
