  when i was a young and idealistic elder - the attitude that was stressed continually was this one :.

  christiangreatnesscomesfromserving.

  "among you, whoever wants to be great must be your servant."matt.

  Most of the elders in my hall are self-righteous.

  What happens AFTER baptism?

  by onlycurious in

  my friend is getting baptised sometime in april.

  i have lots of questions.. first of all, she willing inquired about some christian books i have and is currently reading them.

  both have to do with purity but i am sure she would notice some theological differences when she reads them.

  Yes.

  An assembly is like a day-long JW meeting. The people that are going to get baptized sit in the front rows that face the stage. A baptism talk is given, and these questions are asked:

  "On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?"

  "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 say "Yes" to both, and then they get dunked.

  Regarding the WT being the voice of God: Yeah, that's pretty much it. If you disagree with any JW doctrine after you're baptized, you can be disfellowshipped for apostasy.

  It's rare for someone to get baptized if it's not at an assembly.

  MORE DRIVEL FROM APRIL 15TH WT STUDY.....

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but on pages 28-29 of the april 15, 2007 watchtower study on let the congregation be built up, they seem to be trying to justify the notion that a person cannot be 'saved' if they leave the organization, even if they have just cause:.

  paragraph 15 reads" in modern times, some have ceased associating with the local congregation, feeling that they will serve god on their own.

  they may say that it is because their feelings were hurt, they think a wrong is not being corrected, or they cannot accept some teaching.

  so, dubs think their crap doesn't stink because they're not in "false" religion, but their "religion" is full of the same problems.

  yet the gb wants them to stay 'cause Jehovah will fix everything in due time.

  as carlos mencia would say, "dee dee dee!"

  the correct answer for the rapper question was Tupac.
