Wow, the UK is WAY behind the USA with that change. I was just a kid when they last baptized as part of the session here in the USA and I'm 45 now.

What was the recent change made regarding baptisms?
by Witness My Fury injust saw a post by splash on the commision transcript thread: (pasted below).
we had a talk at our hall recently, basically saying that there have been lots of letters written to the uk branch, questioning and complaining about a new change introduced for the baptisms at the sad and ca.. the talk did not try to reason, it did not try to explain.. the talk was "do as you are told, don't question what you are told".. we were told to do as the song instructs us "listen, obey and be blessed".. we were told that this change was from jehovah so keep up with his chariot.. i think this talk was given in quite a few locations around the country.. what was that all about please?.

Do you go to Kroger/Publix/Wal Mart?
by Iamallcool ini usually shop for most things at wal mart but i have learned some things at publix and kroger are cheaper than wal mart.
if you are conscious shopper, tell me what things do you buy at each store to save some money!
i am thinking about being a member of bj, if you know of any good deals at bj, let me know too.

Are you a dabbler in Witchcraft?
by StopTheTears inafter leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.
some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .
witchcraft is an evil thing.

Are there levels of mumbo-jumbo, cantleave? Or do you put all mumbo-jumbo in the same pile? Personally, I think the topic of this thread is hilarious because it's one form of mumbo-jumbo believing in, yet misrepresenting and castigating another form of mumbo-jumbo.

It's easier to show reverence for a book written by bronze-age goat-herders and their imaginary sky-friend than to show reverence for realities.
Humans are strange aren't we?

by iamwhoiam inso does this mean aawa is going to stop shunning?

shunning can never be stopped no matter how bad you want it to.

Educating the public, non-JWs, will help prevent people from joining and bring awkward questions toward JWs in the workplace.
Nobody thinks the Borg is going to change its policies.

There is a social group, a meme group, and an activist group. Did you post it in the meme group or in one of the "wrong" places?

You're right, nicolau. Some people *are* stupid.
Oops. Was that patronising?

The same sort of cognitive dissonance that cults use to hook people is also what gets people out. It is just that the cognitive dissonance that gets you in is wielded by a controlling source but the dissonance that gets you out is either from within yourself or from someone teaching you how to think, act, or feel freely (which causes dissonance with your cultish beliefs).
