Why is the Watchtower Society so cruel to teens?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my mom just informed me that a 17 year old has been disfellowshipped at her hall.at least 7 others have been kicked out within the last 5 years.the publisher count is only 56 .why do they let the teens get baptized so young?

i was 14 and only got baptized because of pressure and the end was coming.if you weren't baptized you would be destroyed.. why don't they wait until everyone is at leat 21?

all these teens haven't come back and you won't ever see them unless they return.i haven't seen my cousin in over 2 years.no one went to his wedding,isn't invited to any family functions and is to be avoided at all costs.. the watchtower society should be ashamed that they act that way and the parents let them get away with it..

Guess I was fortunate, raised jw, but didn't get baptised till the day after I turned 30, always told family I would when I turned 30 because Jesus did.

1) everybodies off work, good chance to visit

2) it's too hot to bake a turkey in the summer

3) it's cold outside and need heater on, might as well bake a turkey

4) we always blessed meals anyway

help guys!!!

this is driving me crazy....this is a classical piece by anton rubinstein called melody in f. i swear they used major parts of it as the basis for a kingdom song.

does anyone recognize it and if so can you tell me which kingdom song?

Actualy if the music is 70 years past the death of the composer,is it public domain and can be used without copywrite infringements. A good example is the William Tell Overture being used by 'The Lone Ranger.

PROOF THIS JW Religion COULD BE THE TRUE RELIGION

by Dark_Princess in

well in the bible it says said by jesus christ himself... that "the true religion will be the relgion everyone despises and hates.".

is this not the relgion of jehovahs witnesses?..

look in the bible itself it says in john 15:18-19. jesus says, "if the world hates you, you know it has hated me before it has hated you.

lighthouse19something

Most hated religions are Muslems and Jews, most people just think jw is a legalistic small sect.

The only thing I feel USA should have done differently was using the bomb on MILTARY targets, not civilian cities. Pearl Harbor Naval Base was a military target.

And her husband, Tim McGraw has been taking a beating on radio airplay. His current song "My Girl" has not been doing as well as "I Loved Her First" by a new group named Heartland. Both songs are about a man watching his daughter grow up. Heartland's song sounds great, Mc Graw's song sounds like arushed knock-off.
