A car! wow that is a nice blessing for getting baptized. right away something good came from it.
But shouldn't someone who wants to follow God want to get baptized without a gift?

Do JW Parents intentionally extort their children with baptizm?
by Elsewhere injw parents will do just about anything to get their kids to be baptized as jws.
do they do this with the full knowledge that they will have to shun their children if they leave the organization?
is this a tactic that parents use to trap their children in the cult, basically using baptism as an form of insurance or guarantee that their kids will stay in the cult?.

the witnesses i have talked to say that the earth (not the world) is as old as science says it is. they are not in disagreement with that.

What Profound ironies do you know about?
by Siddhashunyata inin another thread big tex related a story about the memorial wine that was so ironic that i thought maybe others saw profound irony in some of their experiences.
for example i recall a brother who gave up a military pension 2 years before retirement in order to pioneer for jehovah.. he would deride another brother for working long hours at his business ( auto repair business) and who spent virtually no time in field service.
years passed, the pioneer brother became needy and had to stop pioneering in order to work while the other brother had saved enough to retire and pioneer.

He should have waited and then got his money from the government first then, right?
Then he could have pioneered for Jehovah's good organization.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses need to explain something that is a scientist's job?

The Concept That Holds Jehovah's Witnesses Captive.
by Blueblades init isn't what jehovah's witnesses believe about the bible that has made them captives of a concept.
it is what they believe about the watchtower society that has done it.. there are two things that are necessary to compare.. 1) the society's interpretation of matthew 24:45--47, the most important scripture in watchtower theology.. with.
2) watchtower history as it relates to their interpretation of matthew 24:45--47, the most important event in watchtower history, 1919 jesus's appointment of them as god's organization.. from don cameron's book, "captives of a concept".. if you haven't read it yet, it's right up there with 'crises of conscience'.if you have loved ones that you want to help get out of this organization, this book is the key.. blueblades

why do so many feel that it is captivity?
I like watchtower magazine. it is very uplifting and encouraging with so much trash out here today it is rather good to read. plus is inspired by god so it must be good!
In Messiah,

There seems to be a lot of hate in the world today.
Why do so many people feel they have to hate to get a point across?
