  June 15 W/T - "Should Youths Get Baptised?"

  by sizemik in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the above mentioned article caught my eye for a couple of reasons .

  .. it is obvious to most observers that the children of active jw's provide a potential "large army" and in spite of the attrition rate of jw youths (around 2/3's i believe), it's a resource the borg are keen to maximise.

  there tactics appear to be encouraging baptism at an ever younger age.

  Hello,

  My father was a career Marine. He was highly decorated for actions in two wars. He trained many people who are alive today because of that training. My father was very proud of the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps and all of my father's men were proud of him.

  The Watchtower people started studying with me when I was 15. I got baptized three months later in spite of my father's objections to "the cult" (what he called it). My father told me a lot of things about the WTBTS that I just ignored. When I left the cult I knew that my father was right.

  I am extremely angry at the WTBTS for teaching me their bullshit and pushing me to get baptized against my father's wishes. My father was harsh but a good man. My becoming a JW against my father's expressed wishes while I was subject to his parental authority caused a huge rift between us that took me 20 years to repair.

  Never in my life did I see my father cry. When my father died, and there were 200 people at the funeral and the gravesite, my mother told me that my father cried over my becoming a JW against his wishes.

  This hurts so bad. The governing body of the WTBTS are evil, petty, despicable liars, <SPIT>. They don't care about families. They don't care about teenagers. They don't care about someone who sacrificed his life to defend our country. I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM.

  The real story about the tea party movement

  i started this thread because some people are telling lies in another thread about the tea party.. i am one of the volunteers that helps arrange and put on tea party rallies in southern mississippi.

  we do not have a membership roll.. we are not a political party.. we have one basic issue that we are addressing, which is: we want federal spending to be lower than federal revenues.

  we do not say how this is to be achieved.. some liars on this site are claiming that the tea parties are actively pushing to achieve the balanced budget by cutting only liberal policies.

  this video documents a meeting between coffee party leaders and students at wesleyan university on feb. 26, 2011. the meeting led to the incredibly successful "i have sex" video, which is transforming the national debate about ideologically driven "budget cuts" bein.

  CoonDawg,

  "I don't want to see it taken over by left wing extremists anymore than I like seeing the tea party taken over by extreme right wingers."

  I help arrange tea party rallies in southern Mississippi. Our only message is that we want a balanced federal budget. So, tell me how a balanced federal budget is "extreme right winger".

  We are holding politicians' feet to the fire to balance the budget and we have told the Congress people of both parties "Balance the budget or you will be going home at your next election".

  "the women make monkeys or dupes of men.

  the men have before effeminate, soft and easily influenced and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home.

  for instance, when men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby elevate her to a place above men.

  Was the Bible forged? Author claims some New Testament books were written by 'people pretending to be apostles'

  This isn't the worst part of what happened to the Bible. Originally, there were over 600 books, texts, whatever you want to call them, accepted by early Christians. These were whittled down by church rulers and Roman officials to 81, then in the late 1800s this number was whittled down again to 66.

  So, not only are some Bible books forgeries, but the vast majority of books accepted by early Christians are not part of the Bible canon.

  FlyingHighNow,

  "Why would men want to control women?"

  The earliest human societies were Goddess worshippers. The women were the priestesses and they ran the temples. All women had to serve at the temple until a certain age. Men came to the temples to participate in esoteric spiritual rites. Part of the ceremony involved a sexual coupling. If you understand how women help men reach enlightenment then it is easy to understand this ceremony. Westerners of course will just throw something at the wall and scream "DIRTY".

  The purpose of the Bible was to provide a basis for men to usurp the Goddess worshipping priestesses and overthrow the temples. Needless to say, men needed the temples and liked them, so this was a tough one. The Bible then tells men that sex is 'dirty' and all that nonsense.

  The Bible even talks about Goddess worshippers being murdered. They twist the story, of course, and call the Goddess worshippers horrible names and claim that they consorted with demons and all that nonsense.

  miseryloveselders,

  So, tell me how the Congress passing a balanced budget will put a boot on your neck?

  lisaBObeesa,

  "So the Tea Party ONLY wants a ballance budget and they don't care how we get a ballanced budget, just as long as it happens?"

  Precisely. We support politicians who agree to work to produce a balanced budget. We make no demands on them on how to achieve that.

  This is why it puzzles me when people oppose us. I guess they want the country to go bankrupt and our savings eliminated and our money to become worthless.

  BizzyBee,

  "Yeah, well. The Tea Baggers are not very well organized so it is impossible to tell who speaks for them, ne'st pas?

  Exactly, we are not 'organized', no one speaks for us. We only have one message, any Congressman who does not actively help reduce the budget to eliminate the deficit will be gone at their next election.

  "But, actually, the members of the Tea Party (millions? Nah - not even close). According to tea party member databases, there are roughly 67,000 members in counties across America."

  We don't have any members, so I'm ont sure where you got this number. Attendance at the rallies in Mississippi was far above this number. And we directly influenced the results in over 50 Congressional elections.

  But, I'm not sure what that has to do with the point I am making. We want a balanced budget as soon as possible and if the elected members of Congress do not produce one then their replacements will be producing it.

  Please try to stay on topic.

  I find it interesting that the behavior of one person tells you the civility and intellect of millions of people.

  Dude, find some hot chicks to bang. Don't move back in with your parents. Join the military and go kill some Mooslims. Or become a drug dealer. Do something positive with your life.
