Anyone else ever done this at their baptism?

by ThomasCovenant in

there was a brother brought up in the borg who realized that to marry his girlfriend (daughter of an elder) he would need to get baptized.. went through the motions of the questions etc and then at the local circuit assembly it was time for those seated at the front ready for baptism to stand and answer the two questions put to them from the platform.

only problem was, this brother was not sitting at the front but was stood at the back.

as the questions were being asked to the twenty or so standing the local elders were in a bit of a panic looking around for the new brother.

( when I read your post question, I first thought you were asking if anyone pee'd in the pool, HA! )

Otherwise Engaged...

by LittleToe in

just a little breaking news:.

after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

What is the deal with Moses? A rant on absurdity in the Bible.

by Morocco in

jw
friends

the other day i was reading about moses and i came to the very popular part of the golden calf.

but now, with a little maturity and freedom from the clutches of witness thought i can see some terrible problems with the bible.

in the beginning of exodus 32 god is talking to moses and sees that the israelites have made a calf out of gold and they are using it as their god.

Was C.T. Russell all that bad?

by Sad emo in

disclaimer: this is a question purely about russell's bible teaching, not about his personal life, whether he was a freemason or whatever else.. ok, russell set himself up as a bible teacher, a lot of his theology was borrowed from groups such as the adventists and certain pyramidologists of his time, and i agree that a lot of his conclusions were plain crazy.

my question is this - was the movement he started simply another misguided christian denomination with genuine motives as opposed to what happened after rutherford took over and added all the dogmas?

does russell bear any of the blame for what the wbts has become?.

freetosee

Russell's an angel compared to Rutherford, no doubt about that. But he did have a huge ego, which got gradually worse the more successful he became. While the biggest schism didn't happen until after his death, there were several smaller ones while he was still alive, due to his micromanagement and unwillingness to tolerate any other talented preachers who might outshine him.
He also became quite dogmatic, claiming that anyone who disagreed with him was 'returning to darkness' and changing the congregation meetings from study of the Bible to study of his writings. Beckford's Trumpet of Prophecy has a good rundown of this stuff.

DITO!

NN,

Zynobia was sooooo sweet, I loved the interviews best and boys play-fighting in the background (hope they didn’t get in trouble for that –I did when I was a kid!). They were real children then, but have to act like adults when "in service" on the platform. It amazes me again and again, when I see all those unrealistic settings and behaviour (a six-year-old interested to know and able to work with the reasoning book, a little girl telling the teacher to approach her anytime if further questions and pulling out a wt…) at the TMS or assemblies. Growing up as a jw it all seemed so normal, you were mainly concerned to please the ~~brothers~~ Jehovah.

THX for sharing, it brings back many memories…
