  did you notice any similarities in the personalities of "anointed" jws?.

  did they use their anointed status for personal advantage?.

  were they the most loving person you ever met?.

  Hello and WELCOME, Dr. Zhivago!!!
  
  Welcome to the forum!
  
  May I ask you, are you active, inactive, faded, DA'd, DF'd? With your particular situation, did you stop "partaking of the emblems" while still attending meetings? How did that go?
  
  Hope I'm not being too forward.
  
  Again, welcome!

  How can twelve years olds get baptized? it is crazy!

  my daughter's step child is getting baptized at the ripe old age of 12.. my sil is angry and i feel he should try and stop it through the courts, but they feel that would make his ex more determined for baptism to go ahead.. this child has no idea of the mistake they are making .

  would she get married at 12?.

  it is so sad and irresponsible for a child to take this step.. .

  Nate: EXACTLY... yeah baby baptism might be silly, but it won't ruin your chances to ever have a life or your family by your side! The JWs expect you to hold to this as if it is a promisory contract, when no other contract is LEGAL at this age.
  
  CoolHand: It was your situation (nine years old) I thought of and referred to in my post.
  
  Return Visit: GREAT IDEA with the PET suggestion!!! That's thinkin', Dear. Honestly, if a kid that age will be the sole provider for a pet for a year... (and I do know kids who will, but thank goodness they aren't JW's!!!)

  You've got that right. And some were baptised at NINE!!! What is even worse is when they are soon thereafter DISFELLOWSHIPPED as children, and yes, it does happen.
