RULES & REGULATIONS
My congregation had :
Brothers who cheated on their wives, divorced and never paid child support. The wives took them to court and still couldn't make them pay.
A brother who owned a business that was closed by the state due to multiple complaints from customers and his employees. He left real quick to Florida and started the same kind of business there. Five years later he returns back home.
An Elder who would lay his hands on his wife (who never reported anything because of fear ).
A brother who went to rough up one of his workers who was stealing his equipment.
A brother who went to jail for selling drugs. He was still baptized and still going to the meetings when caught.
An brother ( who was owed money from a customer ) told me that if this customer didn't pay soon, he was going to burn his his lawn with gas. ( I don't think he ever did )
A brother who borrowed money from his father-in-law Elder and never paid in back. They never spoke to each other and the brother left to attend another congregation.
My cousin ( who loved expensive suits ) brought his new suit to the meeting because he had no time to go home. He left the expensive suit on the coat rack during the meeting. He forgot the suit at the Kingdom Hall overnight. The next day he shows up at the Kingdom Hall while another congregation was having their meeting and looks for his suit. It was gone. Someone took the suit.

What is the main reason the Watchtower Society baptize their children so young?
by RULES & REGULATIONS injesus 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 do it because the rules are they don't have to shun if they were never baptized, and they know many are waking up younger and want them baptized before they can really think and know what's going on and find out about the lies so when they inevitably do, then they can make their parents shun them and not risk them learning TTATT.That's it right there! I have a cousin who was baptized at 15 years of age. He was disfellowshipped for fornication years later and is shunned to this day. His sister ( who was never baptized and quit attending all meetings) has no problems talking and being in the same room with any Jehovah's Witness because she was never baptized. -

so basically they just signed a contract with Jah to be his faithful servant when they obviously don't have the full understanding of what that includes.
The bait and switch! Pretend that they will serve Jehovah when in reality you will serve a human corporation whose whole objective is to sell magazines and books.

and when they're that age, they most likely wont have any knowledge of what a commercialized fraud the WTS. organization is.
It took me 40 years to finally realize that the WTBTS is just a real estate and book printing corporation.

Billy said:
In reality, it all cheapens the meaning of things like "dedication" and "ordained minister." They may as well start infant baptism.
I hated when young children were called ''ministers.'' There was nothing worse than seeing a young baptized boy giving a talk in the Ministry School looking at the audience while a baptized sister had to pretend she was conducting a study or talking to a householder. She could never face the audience.

By dunking them in the water before the turbulent adolescent years, it makes it more difficult for them to leave the cult when they get older due to the prospect of losing all their JW family due to shunning.
You hit the nail on the head! The fear of shunning is all around them. And if they see that their friends were shunned, they will think twice about leaving or acting out on '' the turbulent adolescent years.''

They want to be able to usurp the authority of parents.
Now that the young children and teens are baptized,the Society will drag them in a room with three Elders and be judge and jury on any matter in their lives. The parents will have no control on any decisions even if they are in the same room.

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.
