  Do You Recognize Your Baptism?

  i was promised that this generation would no means pass away.

  (live forever book, pg.

  154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.

  As I stirred the paper with a stick, I said "Just as WT left out important information, I no longer
  concern myself with the information I supply them. I am free to use deceptive methods to avoid
  their witch hunts or withhold information. Since I was not fully informed about disfellowshipping
  and false prophecies, my baptism was invalid. By my undedication, I renounce it

  I love it!

  About as much as I recognize my wedding anniversary. I was 18 when I got baptized and 21 when I got married. I was WAY too young for both. I do, however, recognize the date of my divorce hearing (May 5th, margaritas, anyone?) and my last meeting...both signs of my growth, freedom, and independence.

  I hear you on the marriage thing too Sweetface!

  I don't. I was promised that this generation would no means pass away. (Live Forever Book, pg. 154) I brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because I am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call. My approach has been that I simply do not recognize my baptism as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I was sixteen, I had no idea what I was getting into. I learned as an adult through therapy just how mentally and emotionally pressured (brainwashed)I was to make a baptismal committment . I was oblivious about the significance of what I was undertaking. Hence should any BOE commence judicial proceedings against me I would sue them and the Watchtower for damages. According to solid sources in the legal profession, that arguement would in fact, hold up in court. And we all know how much the borg loves courtside publicity.

  Favourite foreign languages?

  what foreign language or languages do you enjoy most listening to, though you may not be able to understand the words?

  i find several foreign languages pleasant to listen to, french with its refinement, italian with its sing song musical quality, and german with its coarse but resolute intonation.

  i also like the sound of russian and castillian spanish.

  My 16-year-old daughter, who has not been to a meeting in over 5 years, quickly responded, "#113 "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" when I asked this question to the family.

  That one tops my list, "Ours is the God of True Prophecy" YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Sweetstuff, I am not a fan of poetry. In fact, I find it very boring. However, yours is truly touching and addresses the way a lot of us feel or have felt at one time. Thanks for posting it.

  It's nice to be able to move on, whatever others may think of you

  If I cared what others think of me, I would still be a JW.
