watchtower baptism thousands of children.
today i uploaded a new article to my blog comparing what watchtower said about jesus and baptizing children with what watchtower had been doing for years.
my article is titled watchtower baptism thousands of children and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/08/watchtower-baptism-thousands-of.html.
A woman who works at the bank I go to is a ex JW (DF'd in 04). She was baptized at the age of 9 and that was 18 years ago.
She told me the primary reason she did it was because she wanted her Mom and Dad who are uber-witnesses to love her and have pride in her.
It's really a sad story because now she has a beautiful 4 year old daughter and though her daughter sees her grandparents, this young woman has no relationship whatsoever with her Mom and Dad.
hot enough for ya?
just thought i'd get that out of the way.
you knew you were going to hear that saying today!.

why do the jws consider pansuits worm by women not appropriate attire?.
pantsuits are considered appropriate attire in the conservative business world.. secretary of state hilary clinton wears pantsuits quite often.. would pantsuits be considered appropriate for a visit to bethel?
if someone showed up at bethel wearing them, would be be asked to leave?.
I'm surprised they don't dictate what kind of underwear should be warn while on tour.
christians = only jws.
what if other jws take us too seriously?.
christian life = only jws are true christians.
Thanks Blondie, great WT study.
I'm serious.
When I was an elder some used to call me the fun elder. But now I see the error of my ways.
who recorded it?.
jesus is in the garden with peter, james and john but he removes himself from them and prays alone.
in all three accounts of this event we read that the disciples fell asleep and jesus had to actually wake them up.
it's magic
i recently began a wonderful relationship with a guy who also happened to be a jw.
i have learned alot about him and how the religion effects his life and now i am interested in learning more about the religion - but from a beginners' point of view.
could anyone give me an idea of the basic beliefs and practices of jws?.
JWs are a mind controlled group. Their leaders direct just about every part of their thinking. They believe the Bible is inspired by God and they are the only ones who have the truth from it. They are taught that everyone who is not a JW will be destroyed yet many will not admit that belief. They also believe that if anybody who is baptized as a JW and disagrees with the "basic teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses" will be disfellowshipped (shunned by the members). They also believe that those in the faith should only marry others in the faith though they can't fully enforce that it's looked down upon. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their leaders are the only channel to God.
They don't celebrate holidays, birthdays, national days or any other day the world might celebrate. They are taught not to encourage their children to go to college to pursue a high paying career.
There's more I just can't think of it all right now. Maybe someone else can add to this.
Ask him if he's willing to give up the stupid religion for you and if he hedges, make a mad dash for the door and get out.

i know it's kind of long, but i feel i compressed a lot of information into it.
any suggestions or constructive criticism?.
I don't think it will simply because they are in a CULT and there is no critical thinking going on.
Maybe 1 out of every 100 might give it some thought.

seriously!
