  Boyzone and the WT contract

  by hamsterbait in

  1. watchtower

  on another thread boyzone said the new baptism vows read like a contract.. i maintain it is a contract, giving the wtbts some kind of legal leverage in court cases.. remember when they were trying to stop fair quotation from their books - those doing it were in "breach of contract" i think were the words.. there was a whole thread on this subject of a contract with the wtbts about three years ago.. since a minor cannot enter into a contract, the new vows essentially make their baptism invalid.. so they should be able to get it anulled.

  nor can minors give gifts.

  so they should be able to ask for all the donations they made as kids to be returned to them.. plenty of good comments from leo and blondie as i recall.. hb.

  Letter sufficient grounds for DFing?

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a question here mainly for ex-elders etc , though all input would be helpful.. a letter that i wrote some time ago confidentially to an elder regarding the usual issues about the gb etc has come into the hands of a couple of members of the congregation who are regarding it a prime facie evidence that i am an apostate.

  though the letter isn't especially incriminating as such , it does flag up several mistakes that the wtbts has made.

  the brother has described me as "verging on apostate.".

  Hi Dozy. The letter and the testimony of the elder are sufficient to start proceedings against you. You've listened to Hobo Ken's recordings, so you'll know how they'll use whatever 'evidence' they can lay their hands on if their goal is to DF you.

  You say you don't wish to be DFd. However, I wonder, if weighing up the huge amounts of ass kissing you'll need to do to avoid it, whether you'd be better off having yourself castrated!

  If you still believe in prayer and the power of the Spirit, then you'll soon find out what you need to do. Hope you get through it as unscathed as possible and with your manhood intact...

  WHY ALL THE QUESTIONS ?

  " acts 22 : 16. what are you waiting for.........?

  the ethiopian eunuch had this attitude when peter preached jesus to him.

  he immediately requested and received baptism.

  They only started doing questions in 1967 and then it was in a large group with one brother from the "Your Word is a Lamp to my Foot" book released in 1967. There were only 80 questions then. The congregation servant handled it and we did not have to answer every question individually.

  Before this people just showed up at the baptism with towel and suit in hand. No screening through the congregation.

  Now it's infinitely more cultish.

  Good summary.

  This ties in with my father telling my son that "Jehovah wants us to be smart" when my son confessed to wearing jeans to church. What a cult.
