In 1964, I was baptized into the Baptist faith at the age of 10 years & 9 months, dressed in a long white robe on a hot August morning.
In 1974, I was baptized into the JW's at the age of 20 years & 11 months, dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt on a cool October morning.
Incidentally, there are reports that Charles Russell & Company dressed in white robes in 1878 and 1914, appeared on a bridge and a housetop respectively, and awaited the Rapture.

being a jw is amazing!
who agrees with me??.
the jw is a protection from the world.
Amen, Blondie.
I know of one who took his family on trips to practically every state in the Union, but never thought to inquire about the lowly, hard-working sister (yours truly) who left her sorry husband and was barely scraping enough together for food and shelter.
The sister didn't qualify for Federal assistance because her income put her just a tad above the guidelines.
Now, because his youngest son kept getting into trouble with the law and had to be bailed out repeatedly, Mr. Big Shot is in the same spot where that lowly sister once was, and has been hitting my nephew up for financial aid.
Best way to live, my foot!

Tell it, y'all!
I know of some young ones who left and were treated harshly by their parents because that's what the parents were trained to do.
That is so wrong; they need us more than ever when they're at such a vulnerable age.
Yes, they're going to do stupid things and make some serious mistakes, but turning our backs on them is only going to make the situation worse.
The JW's are not encouraged to show compassion - only a judgmental attitude!
If you call that the best way to live, then I wouldn't want to see the worst.

Well, a disclaimer stating that the poster is Latino or Hispanic would be a good thing, no?
Sylvia
no, we havent.
on the contrary, when we have discovered that our beliefs were not completely in line with the bible, we have changed our beliefs.. is this correct?.
gods name in greek scriptures?
I've been reading the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilees; I can see that Fred Franz relied heavily on these extra biblical works when he "translated" the Hebrew Scriptures.
Also, when he translated Numbers chapter 2, which mentions that the tribes of Israel were grouped according to their ensign or flag, he refused to use the word flag, but stated that they were grouped according to their "division."
Petty, but true.

Ecclesiastes 7:10.
Every age has had its problems that were peculiar to that particular age.
