  This Week's Article - Young People's Baptism

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is the first study article from the april 15, 2010 watchtower, titled "young people - strengthen your desire to serve jehovah.

  " i hit paragraph four and i just had to pause to comment.

  i am pretty darn sure this is a softening of the jehovah's witness stance regarding the appropriate age for baptism.

  i have not posted in a very long time, but here is a link i thought might be of interest.

  it made our local paper, likely sent by the jws for some more free publicity.. http://communities.canada.com/vancouversun/blogs/thesearch/archive/2010/05/27/what-is-the-most-widely-read-magazine-in-world.aspx?commentposted=true#commentmessage.

  i posted a reply under their comments.

  My Memories of Bethel in the Franz Era - part one

  by Dogpatch in

  2. friends

  food was passed from one side and if you were #10 you may not get too much to eat!

  when i finally did, she was not at all interested.

  but i was lucky it didnt work out, for she never would have left the watchtower.

  my thoughts on ray franz.

  living down here in the backwoods of alabama, we were privy to very little of what was going on in wt world.

  most of us never heard about the shake-up at headquarters during the 80's.

  Typical email exchange I just had with a JW

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  most of the emails that i receive from jws are short and to the point - i am wrong and jehovah will soon exact vengeance on me.

  they never identify where i am wrong.

  here is a typical one.

  this may sound like a funny title, but it is actually true.

  just to give a brief background on myself, i've been a jw for nearly 12 years now.

  i didn't grow up in a jw family, nor is anyone else in my immediate family a jw (except my wife and her family).

  So, you blew your chance to go to college because of JWs? Don't give up!

  by cabasilas in

  2. experiences

  i got the jw "bug" as a teenager.

  witnesses called at our door when i was nearly 11. my parents are deaf and i was the oldest hearing child, the default interpreter for them in that era before relay services and professional interpreters.

  they had no interest in jws, but it started to spark an interest in me.

  To those still "active", what makes you keep going to meetings?

  by Cindi_67 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been reading a lot of posts and a lot of you here on the board, are "active" members, attend all meetings and conventions, go out in field service, even help with quick builds.

  i don't want this to sound like i am disrespecting anybody, but what makes you lead a double life?

  doesn't anybody at the hall notice your lack of interest?
