  has anyone ever successfully annulled their jw baptism?

  especially if they were very young when baptised?.

  Annulment no, questioning validity of baptism yes. You can casually speak to others questioning validity. I was told for example by last elder to go over questions with me I should not get baptized but I went ahead and did it, so I went against direction of “spirit appointed men”.

  second, as I was sitting during baptism talk I suddenly realized I had not said a prayer of dedication and I became flustered, confused, embarrassed, and in the end I could not vocalize a “yes” to the two questions asked. I was 15.

  i have related these facts to others including elders, and remain untouched and unshunned for the most part.

  Use similar facts even if false certainly would help to make elders throw up their hands not knowing what to do. They certainly can be advised that they have no business butting in between a vow made to god as I have verbalized when an elder insisted my baptism was valid in the eyes of Jehovah.

  JC letter of invitation. Do they always get signed?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  i was just shown a jc letter from a friend and i noticed that the bottom of it was signed by tree elders.

  the letter specifically stated that it was an invitation to a "judicial committee" due to the brother having a marital relationship that was not aligned with bible principles.. i am asking because i remember reading experiences of brothers who demanded their jc be arranged over certified mail with signed letters to which elders refused to do.

  since they could not get this done the matter was dropped and no dfing ever happened.

  My question would be, “what provision does the Bible give for you to conduct an inquiry of my lifestyle or actions? If the Bible says there is some sort of penalty for a lifestyle or action that God himself disapproves of and will deal deal with in his own due time, and I accept such consequences, isn’t that enough?”

  ”Do you, by taking such an action feel that you are acting on God’s behalf? If I shoot someone for driving drunk, is that justified for me to do in the eyes of the law?

  “Would I be thanked or recognized by the secular authorities for taking the law into my own hands, or would they view my actions as criminal and unjustified?”

  MAYBE even the most stupid or indoctrinated elder would have to pause to think?

  Or not......

  The identity of "The Faithful and Discreet Slave", solved - I think.

  “who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  - matthew 24:45. let's be honest, the faithful and discreet slave logically cannot refer to any and every christian.

  this is not merely an encouragement for all christians to prove themselves faithful and discreet.

  If the bible is such nonsense that it requires exhaustive speculative interpretation as many religions and readers have done, including cults like the WTBTS, then you have to let yourself view it as a highly flawed document from years of formative musings from those who seek to control others. Let yourself go forward and study the flaws of the bible, let yourself see it.

  God thinks a book is soooooo important for humans he preserves it for centuries.

  God made humans to only last 70 to 80 years......what a dumbass.

  Yup I can vouch for those "massaged" experiences, I was asked to do the same thing for one I was asked to do, I got thunderous applause after I gave my experience at the convention, but it was only 75% truthful. The CO was there at the KH to hear my original experience in practice but he quickly asked it to be modified so it fit the part. I know others I know quite well who told unbelievably false, completely fabricated experiences, and I know a family was "assembled" for a part, one couple had two girls from separate families pose as their daughters for a demo, one was (gasp) unbaptized which is unheard of for someone to have a part on convention.

  george cook, omg, george f'ing cook, whattttt!.

  caption: elder george cook (right), one of the nine elders of the small 90-person congregation, said prince regularly ‘witnessed’ alone in the community and in groups.

  he was very detail oriented and very eccentric.

  I used to go to that KH when I was in late teens. It's the "go to" KH when large crowds are expected at a funeral because the center wall that separates the two congregations can be opened up.

  @ab.ortega

  Well I'm 6'5" and built like a brick sh*thouse, i own intimidation, LOL!

  I know I'll never be called for JC because even when I was regular elders would pee down their leg shaking my hand and beg me not to squeeze too hard and comment how they hoped I was "on their side."

  I love that about me.

  Yup that's me, fully awake, spouse more active to meetings than ever before, even when I was MS, I was always prodding her to attend, now she rarely misses, she knows full well how I feel about the cult, full well how much damage I would do if ever locked in a room for a JC with 3 elders, thankfully she covers for me as needed
