  G Losch: child baptised at 5, reg pioneer since!

  by fifth.column in

  at the end of april, there was a zone visit in france, with tv broadcast in all kh.. g. losch told he received a letter from a girl, 10 years old, baptised at 5, reg pioneer since 4 years !

  what a fine example, he said....... let s imagine the faces of the parents in the kh!

  i was happy to see i was not the only one to find it crazy.. if you have a child, you know how mature he is at 5. how can a child preach 2.5hours/day after 7hours of school and homework to do??

  This must be in a land where they have no functioning judicial system, because to coerce a child to do that is very much illegal.

  A child of 6 wants to play.

  I listened. I obeyed. Then I realized...

  what was that blessing part about?

  i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.

  maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

  I remember one pious pioneer sister saying to another sister, who rarely went to the meetings or into service for that matter;

  "I'm more spiritual that you".

  Needless to say this sister was never seen in the hall again, she has successfully completed her fade, her husband as well along with the two kids.

  i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!

  but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.

  i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

  Exactly that is happening in my case. I would like to know how things progressed.

  My "Leaving" Letter

  through what i have learned from reading bro.

  russell's writings about the ransom for all, coupled with the blood issue, i feel the need to let my friends know that i am making a stand for truth.

  i could have lost my wife to the blood issue during pregnancy.

  Don't send it, that's my opinion, and has nothing to do with the contents.
  It is just the type of thing the watchtower police (elders) want to see, to give them an excuse to DA you. You are then showing them you accept their authority. Fading is showing them you do not accept their authority and they hate that.
  

  No JW will talk to you on the street after you send it. If you do not send it you may have the chance to mention one or the other point to someone, which may disturb their indoctrination trance they are in.

  I would not get that add where I live. Can you make it available somehow for others to see, I am sure Scientology wouldn't mind getting extra airtime.

  My wife said "It is wonderful".

  Just to qualify this a little, since I stopped going to meetings and have clearly shown my apostate side, she has gone into drone overload, more service, studying more, not even missing the occasional meeting, and sadly reporting everything I say and do to the elders.
