  Dang straight I do! I have never agreed with the DF arragngement and have always disreguarded it. The only thing he cared about at 16 was how to get a girls bra off with one hand. I begged him not to get Baptized, but all his friends was doing it. Why is anybody under say 25 allowed to get baptized!!!!! I sure as hell hold no kids accountable when they did not have a serious thought in there head at that time. We can't date in the bloom of youth or get married cause we such hormoaning idiots, but we can make a decision that has eternal ramifications!?!?!?!?

  Get out of here.....oompa

  Note that the above legalese says that once a person joins the Witnesses, he has only two choices if he wants to leave: disfellowshipping and disassociation. These two choices are enforced by American law. However, even if the Watchtower lawyer has correctly stated matters, he has neglected the case of the child who gets baptized and submits to "ecclesiastical law." By law minors cannot enter into legally binding contracts. Therefore by law, people who got baptized when they were children have a third legally enforceable option when they leave: to simply quit, without disassociating and without submitting to a judicial committee, or "ecclesiastical tribunal." Of course, the Society will not tell people about this.

  do you want to quit? There is a very good product that I highly recommend. It's called nico-cure. It's an herbal patch. It has worked for many people and I think the quit rate is like 97-98%. It is effortless---requires no will power. Look it up and read up on it if you're interested. You will feel better and have more energy. Also, you may not have to worry so much about setting things on fire! Or panic when you loose your lighter.

  aren't there some scriptures concerning gossip ? I think I would look up those scriptures and quote each one on a nice card and send it to all my friends.

  Scriptures about controlling the tongue and damage gossip causes. I would back everything with scripture to my friends. Then ask them...who do they serve...the God of the bible or the wbts church tattletales?

  Will Armageddon Ever Come?

  by tula in

  three years ago, the buzz was "its just around the corner".. two years ago, it was "almost at the door".. one year ago it was "at the threshold".. now the watchword is "the door of the ark is closing".. could it be that the new "members only" publications will now isolate a small inner core of this group?

  what do you think will be the outcome?

  what do you foresee for the jw's in one years time?

  Well, I suppose next they'll declare that they are double locking the door, then sound proofing the ark, then finding all the leaks and sealing them. Maybe they'll get things so airtight that they asphyxiate themselves and we won't hear anymore from them.

  That deserves bigger print. Best laugh I have had in a long time!!!!! Thanks for the INSIGHT on that.

  oompa, I feel so bad for you.

  I wonder if anyone on this board has ever taken a spouse away to "little cabin the mountains" and had them de-programmed by a professional?

  You need a four year old in the cong to ask "why"? until you get the answer.

  don't any JW's question this among themselves...like where did this info come from? If its an ASSUMPTION...what's it based on? Where's the scripture to uphold this speculation?

  Three years ago, the buzz was "its just around the corner".

  Two years ago, it was "almost at the door".

  One year ago it was "at the threshold".

  Now the watchword is "the door of the ark is closing".

  Could it be that the new "members only" publications will now isolate a small inner core of this group? What do you think will be the outcome? What do you foresee for the JW's in one years time?

  How much further can this society progress now that they are "closing the door of the ark"?

  Will they disintegrate? Will they MAKE something happen? Will they have boxed themselves in by this time next year? How can they continue on a year from now having said this and implemented such strict clandestine new policies?

  Do you think it might REALLY rain?

  What kinds of fading techniques have you used?

  some of you may have seen my post in jedi masters topic but if you haven't i will re-post it here:.

  i'm new to the site, my wife and i are are doing the fade we still have a son and daughter-in-law who are still in so we don't want to get hung.

  i was an elder for 25 years and was removed because i didn't agree with the gb on an important issue and spoke privately and with trust to another elder who broke that trust and told the other elders and co about my disagreement.
