JWs: No Infant Baptism! (just children)
by neat blue dog inhere's a new article that came out:.
do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.
the bible does not endorse infant baptism.

RULES & REGULATIONS
Take it even further! The Society knows that having young children get baptized ( some as young as 8) the Society takes over the parent's authority. Being baptized so young, they can disfellowship young children for smoking, drinking, and fornication. They become the judge and jury on any problems young kids experience. It becomes easy to disfellowship any member than to try to work the problems out. Parents have no say-so to what happens to their kids as soon as the problems are known to the congregation Elders.

ATLANTIS POSTED: 2019--16 Leaked Videos!
Here is my review after watching the ''ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES VIDEO''
The video begins with ''Congregation members willingly contribute their money to ''JEHOVAH'' to advance Kingdom interests.''
Really? The last time I checked all contributions were sent to the Watchtower Society.
The video goes into detail on how the local Elders decide on the priorities of the contributions the local congregation received. What do the Elders discuss? Do they discuss and meditate on the following scriptures?
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Acts 2:44-26 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity.
Galatians 2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.They don't discuss the poor, the sick, the homeless and helping widows! They discuss ''operating expenses'' and ''project activities'' of their local congregation needs.
SHAME ON YOU, WATCHTOWER SOCIETY!

This article is from JW.ORG NEWSROOM
Hurricane Dorian, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, made landfall as a Category 5 storm on Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas on Sunday morning, September 1, 2019. Dorian is especially dangerous due to its slow movement, high wind speeds, and heavy rains. The storm passed by the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands as a tropical storm with little or no reported damage.
The United States branch office continues to gather information while monitoring the storm’s impact on our brothers and also on branch-owned properties. At this time, there have been no reported injuries among the 46 publishers in the two congregations on Great Abaco Island. However, the only Kingdom Hall on the island was destroyed.
On Grand Bahama Island, there are four congregations and 364 publishers. Initial reports indicate that 196 of our brothers are displaced and 22 homes have sustained damage. Three homes have been destroyed.
The branch provided instruction in advance of the storm to local circuit overseers and elders in the affected areas. The branch recommended that all the brothers relocate to the capital city of Nassau or other sheltered areas.
We pray for our brothers and sisters who are suffering as a result of this hurricane. We know that Jehovah sees their difficulty and will continue to give them strength to cope with this time of distress.—Psalm 46:1, 2.
Here is a photo of the Bahamas after it was hit with a powerful storm, Hurricane Dorian. Lives were lost, businesses and homes were destroyed. Rebuilding will take years and hundreds of millions of dollars.
So, what is the Watchtower Society really concerned about? Publishers and Kingdom Halls!
Where is the concern about the locals and their property? Why aren't they praying over the locals?
Since Jehovah sees their difficulty, why didn't he stop the powerful storm in the first place? And what does, '' give them strength to cope with this time of distress'' really entail?

Does this silly Bible story make any sense after you take off your rose-colored glasses?
Moses comes down from the mountain with two freshly made tablets of stone written with the finger of God. One commandment on the stone tablet reads '' You must not kill/murder.'' It doesn't take long before Moses breaks a commandment. I guess it should have said,'' You must not kill/murder, but in this case, it's O.K."
Exodus 32: 19 So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses’ anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. 20 Then he took the calf which they had made, burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder; and he scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it. 21 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”
Moses is so angered, he breaks the tablets and instructs the sons of Levi to the kill anyone who is not on the Lord's side.
Exodus 32:25 Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies), 26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the Lord’s side—come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 27 And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’ ” 28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses.

You cant complain .You signed their contract!I'm pretty sure these 10-12-year-old girls were NOT told about giving up their basic human rights to the WTS!

Rights are pretty slippery items.
I guess the Watchtower Society doesn't enjoy their rights being taken away but don't seem to have a problem taking the rights away from those being shunned by their family members. Throwing a 21-year-old out of the house because he was disfellowshipped ( and shunning them the rest of their lives) is the same as the Society writing :
In some lands, however, Jehovah’s Witnesses are denied this basic right and are unjustly jailed and even suffer cruel mistreatment. Most of those imprisoned were arrested merely for practicing their faith. Others are imprisoned for their conscientious objection to military service.

Did you notice how the writers weasel in the words '' shortly after his baptism'' and '' eventually qualified to be an elder'' for the brother with a violent background the transformation to happen?
But one evening, shortly after his baptism, he faced an unexpected test.
Although his study of the Bible had helped him to suppress his violent tendencies, he had not yet been able to change his dominant mental attitude. In other words, he had not changed who he really was inside.
With the help of the elders, he continued to make good progress. He eventually qualified to be an elder.
Our brother had changed his dominant mental attitude. Deep within, he had been transformed into a peaceable, humble person—all to Jehovah’s praise!

2-3. How does Satan try to turn us against Jehovah, but how can we root out things that are “strongly entrenched” in our minds?
2 Paul was concerned because some Christians were apparently being influenced by the unwholesome reasonings and philosophies promoted by Satan’s world. (Eph. 4:17-19) That can happen to any one of us. In a desperate attempt to turn us away from Jehovah, Satan, the god of this system of things, uses various tactics. One of them is that of exploiting any tendency we may have toward selfish ambition or self-promotion. He may even use certain aspects of our background, our culture, or our education to bring us over to his way of thinking.
15-16. How does Satan try to change our thinking?
15 Remember, though, Satan is determined to change our thinking. He uses every type of reasoning to counteract the influence of the truth of God’s Word.
Satan = Bad
Satan uses various tactics to turn true Christians away from Jehovah.
Jehovah = Good
Yes, with Jehovah’s help we can actually gain control over wrong reasonings. Just as medicine can counteract the effects of poison, God’s Word can help us to counteract the poisonous effects of Satan’s world.
So, Satan and Jehovah are battling for control in every true Christians life. Jehovah uses only the Bible. Satan gets to use various types of tactics to turn Christians away from Jehovah. Somehow, Satan is more powerful than Jehovah. If Jehovah is so powerful, righteous, loving and upright, Satan shouldn't stand a chance.

The WT's shunning propaganda is a vile corruption of Christianity.I've seen firsthand the basic human rights that have been denied to my disfellowshipped cousin in the last 20 years. He is not welcomed at anyone's home, never invited to any family weddings/ gatherings and cannot visit or talk to his grandparents. His father and his siblings refuse to see his 6-month-old baby. They sent a baby gift with a card only addressed to my cousin's wife and baby. They cannot even write his name on the card!

“The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion” is a fundamental human right, according to Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. * In some lands, however, Jehovah’s Witnesses are denied this basic right and are unjustly jailed and even suffer cruel mistreatment. Most of those imprisoned were arrested merely for practicing their faith. Others are imprisoned for their conscientious objection to military service.
