Blondie shows in this article:

*** w06 7/1 p. 29 par. 15 Youths, Make It Your Choice to Serve Jehovah ***

Could it be that you hesitate to take this important step for fear of being held accountable should you fall into wrong conduct? If so, think of this: Would you refuse to apply for a driver’s license simply because you were afraid that some day you might have an accident? Of course not! Neither should you hesitate to get baptized if you qualify. Indeed, you will be strongly motivated to do your utmost to resist wrongdoing if you have dedicated your life to Jehovah and have agreed to do his will. (Philippians 4:13) Young ones, please do not imagine that by postponing baptism, you avoid accountability. When you have reached the age of responsibility, you are answerable to Jehovah for the way you act whether you are baptized or not.—Romans 14:11, 12.

Notice how they use fear in this article with the words like : wrongdoing and accountability. You will have to answer to Jehovah sooner or later.

Watchtower-Free
The second picture with a little boy ( who looks like 12 years old ) says it all. He doesn't realize that this contract is one-sided. If he breaks the contract, the Watchtower Society will make sure his family and the congregation will shun him all his life. He will catch a break if he decides to return to the meetings.

Watchtower is obsessed with increasing their ranks

Yes! Since the door to door ministry doesn't work, it's easier to find and mold young children and teens inside the Kingdom Hall.

Some of this Baptisms at a young age was spurred on by the acceptance that judgment day is really coming soon , so parents thought it would be advantageous for their children to get baptized, as further assurance that their children would be saved.

I was baptized for that reason in the summer of 1974 at a young age of 13.

Anyway the main reason is,... WHY NOT baptise Teens? We let them make career and education choices that influence them the rest of their lifes at that age so why not the choice to serve Jehovah?

If they make the wrong career choice they can always quit and look for new employment. If a teen makes the choice of getting baptized and later wants to change his religion, he will be disfellowshipped.

Jesus was thirty was he was baptized. Today, you hear of young children getting baptized as young as 10 years old. The parents, family and congregation think it's a wonderful idea that someone dedicates their life to Jehovah at such a young age. They are then required to turn in a field service report, comment at meetings, and give talks at the Ministerial School.

I think the real reason the Society wants young children to get baptized at such a young age is that they can scare and disfellowship these young children if and when they start smoking, drinking, having sex, trying drugs, and anything else the Society disapproves. The Society cannot handle what normal young children and teens might go through. It's better to remove them!

What do you think is the main reason the Watchtower Society baptize their children so young?

Just ask simple questions and make street witnesses move along

you don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

EXWHYZEE SAID :

Does it say anywhere in the Bible that we should seek out and be unkind to those whose faith and whose works we view as being inadequate? How do we or anyone else viewing this video know for sure what other works these kids may be involved with, so that we can pass judgement on whether or not their faith is dead?

Jehovah's Witnesses believe and follow the Bible. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was the son of God and died for all of our sins. Jesus said to preach the gospel. Jesus also said to feed and take care of widows and orphans. You cannot just preach the gospel. You must also help those in need.

These young men were just handing out Awake magazines. Why weren't they and the Watchtower Society not being Christlike and showing the works of feeding the poor, taking care of widows and orphans?

EXWHYZEE SAID :

As we all know, JW's foremost mission and their small piece of the large tapestry of human civilization right now, is to promote a "long term" fix for mankind's problems. We don't have to agree with them but that's what they do... that's their work.

James 2:14-17 ESV

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

FLIPPER SAID :

Here's the deal. Yes perhaps the camera man came off somewhat rude- but in order to expose the WT Society or reveal to these young people different information the camera man had to say what he did . He rubbed it in wrongly by accusing the young JW's of not helping the homeless man - so the cameraman got off track in trying to expose these JW's. But I believe whether there was a camera filming it or not filming it - the young JW's answers would have been the same. They STILL would not have been able to explain their beliefs.

The man taking the video says ''You have religious people who are PROMOTING their own religion rather than doing good for the homeless man."

The young man on the second video looks well nourished, dressed to the nines, and standing on his feet handing out a magazine. There is a drunk and homeless man a few feet away who needs help. The promotion of the religion seems more important than helping this down and out person.

Why doesn't this young man call his religious leaders and get him some food and shelter? Why is a little paper magazine more important than a human being?

Where are the Watchtower Society soup kitchens and shelters? Where are the free clothing and money donations for the down and out?

As a Jehovah's Witness for 40 years, I don't ever remember one talk about helping out any person who was down and out? All I remember was placing magazines and books!

Everything is programmed with no spontaneity allowed!

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

nounspontaneity is defined as the act or quality of acting without thinking in advance.. .

remember when the speaker for the sunday talk forgot to show up, was backed up in traffic or forgot the outline of his talk at home?

we went straight to the watchtower study and left early.. .

Simon

We all were happy when the meeting was cut short. I remember a brother who forgot his talk outline at home and tried to convince the Elders in my congregation that he could give the talk without the outline. He had a really good memory but they refused to let him give the talk.

It just shows you how they control every second of the meetings. Everything is force fed and that no one can be trusted.
