  Baptism Age

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you feel as if children in the watchtower organization get baptized too early in age?

  when you think that in most places, you have to be at least 18 years old to vote, go in a bar, or have a drivers licence.

  being told that it was the most important day of our life, wouldn't it be reasonable to wait to be at least 18 years old before getting baptized.

  been doing a lot of reflecting lately, about my life and this crazy world.. fear has dominated my life.

  i have barely lived because of it.

  i just exist, that's about it.. when i was growing up, it was bullies at school.

  Is Warning re Possible Lawsuit Required?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just a general question for anyone who might have some legal background on the matter.. if (and i expect there will be) an announcement is made to our former congregation that we are "disassociated", can i just go ahead and sue them (individual elders in the congregation) for slander and defamation of character?

  the decision to make the announcement is one that has to go through the body of elders, right??.

  is it necessary, when the elders come calling, to say "i will sue the shirt off your back and the bloomers off your @$$ if you make any announcement that slanders my name or defames my character to anyone"??

  Circuit Visit / Christmas campaign

  by caspian in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sorry that i haven't posted for a while, been moving house and congregation over the last few weeks.. just thought that i will mention, the comments made by our co at the elders meeting on the friday of his visit.. with the elders starting the visits on the inactive in jan and feb, it was suggested by the society to start a week or so earlier to see how many have inactive ones have christmas decorations and so-on.. it was also suggested that if such ones are celebrating a pagan festival, it could be classed as false worship.

  which is classified as a "self-disassociation offence" and hence an announcement could be made to the congregation.. my question is this, is it just our co taking things in to his own hands or is this now national or international policy.

  kind regards.

  Is this a stretch?

  by alfie in

  i was thinking today about the warnings th wbts gives publishers about not buying used articles especially from people or stores run by religious organizations.

  their concern that any item purchased may be demonized made me wonder if the reverse could be true.

  if a loyal witness happened to have, say a garage sale, or they donated something to a thrift store, or some similar situation, i was wondering if the purchaser of that same article might have their mind and/or heart opened, and accept a jw bible study, or maybe just have their life affected for the better.
