please could someone tell me what is said in a jw baptism?
i was told that jw baptisms are invalid because they do not baptise in the "name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.
because of this invalid baptism a catholic cannot marry a jw with church approval, i think.
oh i got that sick feeling in my stomach when i read that!!! I used to get all teary eyed at that and no I think how much of a waist it is!!!
2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?
inother words... will you do everything the BG tells you to do and never question them!!! Or will will kick you out!!!
for the last 13 years, we haven't attended and didn't even care about it.
but since we became card carrying members of jwn in september, we have an interest in what are friends here on jwn are doing.. for us?
we will be watching 'dancing with the stars'.
what is a card carrying member? I will spend the night thinking of the sacricife Jesus made and make a nice meal. This will be my 1st no show and I am proud of making this big step!!!
the next new light?.
ok a bit of idle speculation here feel free to add your own thoughts.. a few changes that the wts might make over the next 5 years and my odds:.
144,000 is symbolic odds 2/1.
MMXIV - wow that would be a good idea for them... talk to them as long as they are at the KH!!! in a way that is what they do to reproved ones... me being one of those chosen.
I think - not sure how - they need to give more respect to women if they want to continue.... The blood deal will need to become "conscience" to provent law suits!!! D/C and C/A will be on the internet... for a fee
yesterday i received a memorial invitation through the door.. .
the first one for 10 years .
boy!
good idea!!! did not get mine don't think i will!!!
i am at the point in my custody battle where i need to decide if i'm gonna "go for the gold" and bring religion into the fight.
my lawyer thinks i have a chance based on the parental alienation aspect of the religion.
i'm df'd and my kids are being raised to turn against me.
wow lots of good advice!! being raised one parent in Dad and Mom not.... It's been said but i'll say again don't be negative about your ex or religion. He will be negative with what you teach and that gives you the upper hand!!! Love your kids and help them with the early signs of guilt when they get to do things with you that dad didn't let them. I didn't get out till a year ago... but i did get out.

information taken from the june 2010 awake.
my guesses for releases this year will be an update creation book and a book on jeremiah.
two books were released as recently as 2008 so i don't think this would be out of the question.. friday.
I do have to say I would like to hear what type of BS they use to explain why people leave!!! This will be the mind control symposium!!!
Symposium – “Allow Nothing to Distance You From Jehovah”
· Satan’s Subtle Efforts - what you have a question? that is Satan
· Pride - please don't consider thinking for yourself the GB has ALL the answers
· Money - do more FS and less working
· Health - oh you think you need to sleep when we have FS to do?
· Career - the ONLY career you need is being a JW
· Recreation - Fun? what these are the last days?!!!
· Family - Put the decisions of the GB above your family
· Technology - no more ipods for you!!!
