  Defd, why do witnesses practice infant baptism?

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  instead of highjacking an earlier thread on young ones getting baptized, i thought i'd just start a new one and ask our favourite dub lurker why his faith practices infant baptism.

  and defd, if you feel that a 7 or 8 or even 12 year old isn't an infant with regards to making major decisions, i would like to hear your explanation.

  9 years old! That`s terribly young! I think that as long as a kid is not responsible enough to go live on his own, he should not be allowed to make a decision like that. It`s like a tatto, it`s for life. And if he later choses to stop, then he loses all of his family because of a thoughtless childhood decision. Ridiculus!

  But perhaps the parents think that the youngest they get dunked, the harder for them it going to be to quit...

  Hehe, good idea...now for a way to make words disolvable into liquid....

  But you know...perhaps if I made my mother a copy and ask her to leave it carelessly on a table when he`s alone, with strategicaly underlined phrases...just maybe, curiosity might be too strong

  Hmmm, I get all of your points, but unlike them, my love is unconditional, and I would make sure to tell my father that. For us the WT is only a publishing compagny, but for them, it's the world, eternal life, happiness...of course it doesn't excuse all the harm they have done to us, we are family and nothing should come between family members.

  Received a letter from an Elder

  by JH in

  2. friends

  i was gone for a few days and when i came back today, i found a letter in my mailbox.. basically it's a friendly letter asking me to come back to the congregation.

  in his letter he says, i tried to contact you often but couldn't.

  i know it's not easy trying to be a witness when no one in your family is a witness.

  I would sent something along the line of " Oh! Thank you for your concern. But I have already found Him and He found Me. I have never been happier with my life then I am now. --Merry Christmas!, JH."

  Of course, if it was me, I couldn't stop myself to that and would write on and on, probably giving more info then he'd read about why I left. I always get carried away.lol

  what is a born again christina?

  by tetrapod.sapien in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, typically, a born again christina is a guy who is at the end of his tether, and doesn't give a f*ck about much anymore, and is depressed and cuts himself.

  and then one day, on just a typical weekday, he meets a girl named christina, and she is so sweet and she gives him his faith again.

  his faith in humanity and the universe.
