  Wife is making the teenage stepson start a bible study today....PLEASE HELP!!!

  he brought it upon himself due to many issues, but she (well i truly am guessing the dubette she is studying with) has decided that the best way for him to start to behave is to get closer to jehovah.

  he has already told me that it will most likely cause him to just get worse because he doesn't 'believe in all that crap'.

  i am not going to be able to study with him, i know she and the dubs would not allow that, don't think i am labeled apostate, but am sure i am not far from it.

  Now, with the whole "the Great Tribulation" is starting again and "Armageddon" is just about here, etc., etc., they will encourage anyone and everyone to get dunked.

  Yep, they are doing that big time with my wife......have already let him know if he gets baptized and decides its not for him, it will severely restrict his communication with his JW relatives and mother if she gets dunked.....

  I have also told him he needs to focus on his schoolwork, have a text book or reading book around at all times, for right now if he looks bored, she hands him bibleteach or YPA to read.....

  Basically Karate is his only interest at this time, so I do all I can to encourage it, as well as college and career. He told me the other day he would love to be a karate instructor...

  Wife has already told him he should just consider a trade like construction...guess she is looking for the end of 'this system of things' real soon......will need a lot of people to restore the earth to a paradise....but one question, why does paradise earth need houses...that's not how Adam and Eve had it?

  Better warn him to behave before they force him into a suit and tie and drag him D2D. That will really get him closer to Jehovah.

  I have tried to warn him each step of the way, but he is a HS Junior to be.....no telling him anything........

  The WTS assumes that Cornelius left the military after being baptized!!!

  Now that is quite a reach......and what is amazing, if my wife were to read this in a WT or another 'Bible based publication' she would take it as the word of Jehovah.....

  well I work for the Department of the Navy.......

  On this thread, how do the JWs get around Peter baptizing the Centurion in Acts...firstly a soldier is being baptized, secondly without going through a bunch of prerequisites....

  You might try downloading CAPTIVES OF A CONCEPT for about 5 bucks from lulu.com and use suggestions there.

  Have it and a good idea.....I know with 99% certainty he will just be a sloth on this and show no enthusiasm, but I am trying to guard for the 1% that the guy makes some inroads with him.

  One of the things that keeps my stepson going is karate, is this still a 'no-no' to the JWs, he takes basic karate (just got green belt), jujitsu, ground fighting and is very interested in a sword class they have........before I found out he was going to have a study I did tell him at one time Karate was no good for a JW.

  This guy he is studying with is the husband of the sister my wife studies with, seems pretty judgemental to me. First time I met him he pretty much told me my government job is not in alinement with Jehovahs principles.....gag.

  Thanks Blondie, I appreciate the good advice.......he has already told me how much he is not looking forward to this. He also told me things like this is why he can't wait to move out.......

  I have tried to keep the communications open.....not easy with him at times.....

  I have shown him articles on why kids should not go to college in 1975 cause the end is so close, he thought that was pretty funny...am also going to show him in the copy of YPA that the sister so kindly provided him the stuff on pages 254 and 255 why he should not kiss or hold hands til he thinks he has his marriage mate...

  Any idea what other kind of information I can share with him that will keep him thinking clearly. He is taking a history course this summer, I am hoping they talk about 586/7 in the book, I may need to help him study for that test..........

  PLEASE HELP!!!
