I applaud your effort. those elders are smart, they will not approve them for baptism. I would also watch out that they don't go getting baptised behind your back. They could sneak a swimsuit in their book bag and figure what you don't might wont hurt you, thinking Jehovah will bless them. This is a tough situation. If you haven't already, use all your influence to get them out of that cult!

by Michelle365 inok i posted about a month ago asking for advice on writing a letter to my former congregation regarding my children.
my ex husband still goes to our old hall and although we have joint custody he is raising them to be good little jws on his time.
i understand that in your organization age is not a determining factor in whether or not a person can get baptized, however as the young people ask book points out:

New Zealand headquarters: Witnesses sell, Elim buys
by Fe2O3Girl inhttp://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/manukau-courier/9124458/witnesses-sell-elim-buys.
it was the national headquarters for the jehovah's witnesses for 30 years.. but the 7.5ha wattle downs property has now been sold to elim church and could soon house a new christian college.. jehovah's witness minister george gray says advances in technology mean the property is no longer needed for running the church's new zealand and south pacific activities which will now be administered from australia.. elim church bought the property for its growing south auckland congregation and volunteers helped transform the site in just a matter of days.. pastor boyd ratnaraja says the congregation moved in on a sunday straight after morning services at their much smaller weymouth rd premises.. "they have done a superb job of setting up," he says.. the church will hold services for its 450-strong congregation at its new home as well as running counselling sessions and operating an op shop and a weekly soup kitchen.. "we believe in reaching out to the community.
we want this to be a centre of hope.

I had a rough time transitioning to an atheist. My heart didn't want to give up god.
After a while I just accepted it. Live each day to the full.

Terry, ebooks are wonderful, but any size will do.
Your book will be underpriced at $19.99. I can say that because I know the quality of your writing.
Maybe you should have someone proofread it for you. What do you think?
I will buy one, never the less.

Even if you divorced your wife, she cannot marry you unless you had scriptural grounds for divorce, ie, your wife has to comit adultery, honey. You see you are not scripturaly free to remarry and therefor if she would marry you, she would be considered an adulteress. It is confusing, we know.
You have fallen for a woman who is in a cult, a high control cult! Your best bet is to try to get her out of JW. She will be disfellowshipped if she has any sexual contact with you. She will be shunned by family and friends who are JWs. You had better be worth it.
Best of luck to both of you. You will need it.

I just can't figure out if Jehovah's Witnesses are more like zombies or robots. Elders and MS are most like robots and the rank and file are more like zombies, but it is difficult to discern the line of demarcation.
