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.

bethel

I think that the WTS continually tells the parents that they should be instructing their children in the ~~"Truth"~~ "Crap" so they will become baptised members ASAP, most of the parents think, that if their children get baptized early this will serve as a protection for them when they reach their teenage years, since they will have already made this vow with ~~Jehovah~~ the WTS.

The reality of course is that these parents are really setting their children up for massive stress and trauma when their hormones kick in, indulge in sexual behavior, and are ultimately faced with losing all their freinds and family when they are df'd. I am so glad that I found out the Truth about the "Truth" now, before my two kids got baptized. I remember in 2004 we were talking to them about becoming approved publishers so that they could get ready to get baptized, I'm so glad this never happened.

My kids are free and very happy now, we all believe in a creator, but no longer believe in the BS that is organized religion, they no longer worry about Persecution (the little one nightmares about this, he worried that they would take us away from him), Tribulation, or the damned Armaggedon, yes life is truly wonderful now that we are beyond all this WTS CRAP!

I feel sorry for the kids in my KH many of them have gotten baptized and are younger than 14, it's sad, really SAD!

Welcome To Paradise

by fairchild in

glen never came back after his last vacation.

however, the sign read closed until 9pm.

the waitress caught us on our way out the door.

Fairchild, I loved that! Very interesting, please don't stop now, I want to read the rest of it! The scary thing is that this is probably the way it would really be, if they had their way.

PHOTOS - Does the WTS change them?

in line with ritchie rich's thread where abad points out that the wts has an ongoing editing policy for the littermanure.. they have heavily edited the bound volumes as opposed to the original ragazines.

they even got rid of kingdumb melodies from the song book, because their composer turned away.

ditto the aid book.. has anyone noticed if they remove people from old photos who are no longer approved?

ICBehindtheCurtain

Sorry, I should have edited that!

WOW they never cease to amaze me! I always thought that this was some beautiful sister from NY or something, I have always seen some of my freinds pictures in the WTS literature and was always told that they always told that they use the BRETHREN for these illustrations, damn yet another lie!

I hope that magazine they stole the picture from finds out!

NEW 2005 Worldwide Service Report

by Joker10 in

jw
friends

jehovah's witness grew some more this year.

6,613,829 peak publishers, or 100,000 more than last year.

the average number was 6,390,016. interesting to note is that in countries where they are banned or restricted, the growth was 9.2%.

ICBehindtheCurtain

I for one, do not believe those numbers, if the WTS has lied about so many things, how can we trust that those numbers are legit? I mean, who would know if these are the actual numbers? Maybe there's something I don't know, but until I find out differently those numbers can be played around with, just like the numbers of the supposed annointed left.

I am not going to say anything to any of my active JW freinds YET, not until the NEWS comes out, BUT WHEN IT DOES, I will be notifying quite a few across the US, and hopefully they will spread the news. Of course I will be completely distraught , about the terrible thing that has just come out, and will put my preaching skills to good use, I will be preaching the GOOD NEWS about the WTBS downfall, hopefully.

IC (of the LORD if you are there, please let it be BIG class)
