WATCHTOWER MAGAZINE APRIL 2017:
There is no way to undo a dedication vow, taking back what we promised God. If a person tires of serving Jehovah or of living a Christian way of life, he cannot claim that he was never really dedicated and that his baptism was invalid. * To all intents and purposes, he presented himself as one who was wholly dedicated to God. He will be accountable before Jehovah and the congregation for any serious sins that he may commit. (Rom. 14:12)

This whole article is based on a Strawman argument. None of us EVER dedicated our lives to a corporation. We certainly never agreed to support ungodly behavior.

Look how they twist Romans 14:12! We all dedicated ourselves to Jehovah and not to an organization.With the new baptismal question,Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?,they make you accountable to the Watchtower Society!
SNEEKY BASTARDS!

(Rom. 14:12) May it never be said of us that ‘we left the love we had at first.’ Instead, we want Jesus to be able to say of us: “I know your deeds, and your love and faith and ministry and endurance, and that your deeds of late are more than those you did at first.” (Rev. 2:4, 19) May we zealously continue to live up to our dedication vow—to Jehovah’s delight.

sir82 said:Lurking teens - if you are not yet baptized, and recognize that "the truth" isn't true, heed this WT article. If you don't want to be shunned by your family, avoid baptism at all costs.
Sir 82: You were a former elder if my memory serves me right.Don't you think that this is the real reason the Society want young children and teens to get baptized so young?They want to control them if there are any normal teen problems and kick them out so the Society can supersede the parents?

This paragraph really sums up the whole Watchtower study.It states that once you dedicate yourself in baptism,the Watchtower Society owns you for the rest of your life.You cannot undo your baptism!
This paragraph uses Romans 14:7-12 to justify lies that the Society uses to scare every baptized member.They imply that you will be accountable to Jehovah and the congregation for any serious sins.Let's read Rom.14:7-12 and see what it really says and means.
? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11For the Scriptures say,’”

Donations in Support of Kingdom Interests Worldwide!
during the watchtower study today, i browsed genesis and looked for evidence of noah ever preaching to anyone.
from what i could glean from the scriptures, it was a foregone conclusion that noah's family would be it on the ark.
(unless they towed some rafts behind) my wife says that building the ark could be considered a witness of his faith to the wicked world, but that seems kind of lame to me.. so, should i just assume that god decided not to give anyone else a chance for redemption?
''Stop laughing all you frickin morons.I will have to do some further research on how I will get some koalas from Australia and some penguins from Antarctica all on board.''
the degradation of the governing body members continues on.
mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.
in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.
"But thanks to Jehovah, the officials put no restrictions whatsover so we were able to have the memorial as scheduled at the assembly hall with 1,055 being present, which was a tremendous gift from Jehovah. And just at the time when of course, the Brothers were kind of agitated because of what was taking place, it was such a privilege to be with them, to be able to provide some comfort. Then just a few days later, on Saturday, we were able to dedicate the brand new Kingdom Hall complex in Antwerp. This is a five auditorium Kingdom Hall complex, it's quite a site, there's a picture of it on our next study edition Watchtower. You can see the brothers working on that Kingdom Hall complex."
