If they accept teenagers in their mid-teens for baptism, then by the same token they should also accept and allow mid-teens to decide that they don’t want to be a witness, let alone be baptised. But no, if they are under 18 (or 21) the parents are supposed to raise their kids as JWs.

Reaching the Goal of Baptism ... old enough?
by wannabefree inthe watchtower november 15, 2010, young ones - what will you do with your life?.
page 14, paragraph 12.
... you should get baptized when you are fully aware of what being one of jehovah's witnesses involves and when you are sure that you are ready and willing to take on this responsibility.

Recently, a charity called World Vision here in Australia had a campaign calling for 10,000 sponsors. They only got about 400.
Part of the reason is obviously the financial recession. People are careful of how they spend their money, if there is any spare money to be given away.
And like the others have said, I think many people are getting wary of these organizations.
When I was a teenager, we had LiveAid with Bob Geldolf. Pictures of starving Ethiopians were used to tug at our hearts and our pursestrings. Yet, is starvation a thing of the past in Ethiopia? Or anywhere else in Africa or the world? Billions have been spent on these countries, but where does the money go? And why haven’t African people learnt that if you can’t afford to have kids, then you shouldn’t have any?
Sorry if it sounds harsh, but if we Westerners are continually being harassed for money, then we have a right to know to whom, where and how it’s being spent.

No lawyer would put in writing that the woman’s house would be available to her after Armageddon.
Obviously it was a verbal promise.

Most pointless thread ever.
How about explaining what he said for those of us who don’t have access to the show?

One Reason Why I Speak About Racism
by snowbird inhttp://www.eric.ed.gov/ericwebportal/search/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ericextsearch_searchvalue_0=ed018874&ericextsearch_searchtype_0=no&accno=ed018874.
if anyone cares or dares to read this, this is how it was when i was 13 years of age.. the gap in funding for black and white kids' education is still stunning to me 46 years later, but it's there in black and white.. it's a testament to our determination and fortitude that we acquired an education at all.. this, in the richest country on the planet!.
for your edification and, hopefully, understanding.. syl.

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads. Skinny, impoverished, African/Indian/Chinese/Eastern European children staring at you with their big brown eyes, begging you to send that donation to the charity.
But what happens to these kids? Especially the ones that are sponsored by Westerners paying their $1 a day or whatever they contribute?
Do those kids actually benefit?
And how do the charities pick which kid receives the charity, and which one doesn’t? Say there’s 50 kids in the village, and the charity only receives enough to sponsor 3 kids.
How do they decide who is worthy to receive the sponsorship, and who gets nothing?
Once the sponsored child grows up, then what? Does s/he get an education? Are they able to live a self-sustained life, or do they spit out more kids who will then be featured in yet more ads for charity?

Sigh… Blondie, doesn’t the general gist of the picture remind you of those lovely pictures of God’s people being the only ones saved during Armegeddon?
Yes, daniel-p, I can see what you mean.

Making Watchtower Idols Bleed
by ruruj inhow do you make false gods (wt) bleed?.
it is not easy, but possible .... method 1:.
inform/educate others to refuse/decline watchtower literature and books because they are materials used by watchtower mind control cult.. if jws have something to say, then let it be from the bible only.

This whole site is full of anti-witness ideas. Perhaps you need to do some research on the topic?
