tonight i went out with some witnesses for coffee.
one is an elder, and the others are pioneers, etc.
two of them had a sad story of how other elders had treated them lately, and one talked about how the elders in her hall won't give her any assignments.
thanks micky, but i'm still confused... that just dosn't make sense. either your in or your out arn't you? i have swine flu right now so my confusion levels are high.

just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, along comes the august 2009 kingdumb misery.
therein, "meet the challenge of witnessing to men" comes along.
they are whining that there are too many women and not enough men (i wonder if they are hearing about "sisters" not finding mates within the cancer, or just because they need men to run the show because they do not want women running it).. they continue with a couple of stock examples of reaching men.
and by "they" i mean sciencists
... and no i can't spell

i've been doing some reasoning about all the jw teachings i've been taught as i grew up.
one of them was the belief that if you were baptised young that it would be a protection for you.
i questioned this at the time as i thought that instead it would make you prey to opposition from satan at a young age.

One of them was the belief that if you were baptised young that it would be a protection for you. i questioned this at the time as i thought that instead it would make you prey to opposition from satan at a young age. but i accepted the belief, got baptised and brushed it off as somthing i didn't understand, probably cos i wasn't smart enough.
come to think of it there were alot of things i brushed off, " because i wasn't smart enough"
come to think of it now, i realise that so called "protection" was all about getting the young ones hooked into the threat that if they left the org they would loose everything (family, freinds) at a young age, thereby trying to prevent them from leaving later on. looking back on the time of my being baptised i thought i was mature enough to make that choice, but now as a mature woman i realise i sooo wasn't. i was barely in my teens, i see the pictures of myself on baptisum day and i see a little girl.
sorry for the rambling but my point/question is this. offically the org does not encourage ones to get baptised young, nor have i heard the idea that its for their protection used in any of the publications, but still the belief of that seems to be very deep rooted with the JW's. so my question is, where did beliefs like this come from? dos anyone know? i'm puzzled....?
my 2 personal favs are :.
" i'd love to take you on a date sometime, your so cheap and undemanding!
i'd take you to a macdonalds, order 2 cups of tap water, you'd have 1 sip and the date would be over!
