Question for Current or Former Elders (baptism of minors)
by Michelle365 ini have joint custody of my two children with my ex husband who is still raising the kids on his time as jws.
my 11 year old claims she is getting baptized at the next assembly.
i have heard that i can write a letter to the boe and say that i oppose her getting baptized before she is 18. is that true?

She's not even old enough to get a driver's license! Isn't the commitment she is expected to make by being baptized a LOT more serious? Let her know that if she wants to be baptized, that's fine, but she needs to be grown up before she can make that decision. By all means, talk to your attorney, and make it clear that, as a minor, she should not be subject to WT "discipline" at the level of an adult. If she does get baptized, her dad and the elders should sign a statement giving her some latitude to make her own mistakes without being shunned.
The other side to this is that she could get DF'd as a teenager, and her dad might not speak to her. Then you would have a golden opportunity to keep her away from the KH. I would tell the attorney she can't go because she's on their "bad list" and no one would be allowed to speak to her, and that's too harsh for a person her age.
Good luck with this situation.

When the publishing company says that its an issue of Conscience it begs the question. .
by Narcissistic Supply inwhen the publishing company says that its an issue of conscience it begs the question.how on gods green earth can you make a decision of conscience when you have been manipulated and twisted and distorted by ridiculous group think.. how can you make a decision of conscience when your perception of reality is based on trickery, lies, deceipt and isolation.
how can you make a decision of conscience when you are sold down the river by a cult.. you cannot build your house upon the sand.
well you can but it will get washed away.

I dreaded marrying "in the truth"
by Nosferatu ini remember going to the conventions and seeing all the good looking women with their cute butts sticking out of their modest dresses.
the problem was the aftermath of looking at them.
i thought to myself "what would happen if i married her?

Mum
Oh, what a painful memory - marrying a "nice elder" with a skilled trade. I knew we had nothing in common except the stupid religion, but I was rebounding (from a "worldly" guy) and I thought I was long in the tooth (I was 21!).
The only thing good about it is that I have my daughter. Her dad hasn't spoken to her for years, but she accepts that freedom has its price.

I'm famous...
by diana netherton inokay..maybe just locally.
but the newspaper did an article and interview with me about my profession.

Hi, Diana. I'm happy for you that you have a great profession.
I'm learning stenography, but I'm not quite as dedicated right now as I need to be. I have chosen it as a retirement career, but there are no classes near me. I chose court reporting because there's little to no age discrimination in that field, and I've always excelled at English and spelling.
Which machine and software do you like best? Do you wear anything on your wrists? Maybe I should send you a PM.

Shocking talk from 2013 District Convention urges parents to shun disfellowshipped children

While I was listening to this garbage, I thought about a story I heard about a young girl (She was 12 years old, if I recall correctly) who was raped by a neighbor and disfellowshipped. So every family member is required to:
1. Blame the victim.
2. Not blame an all-powerful being who did not step in to help a child who was being raped. A CHILD!
3. Accept and respect(!) the decision of the ape men who disfellowship her, causing her more pain.
4. Remember that if she commits suicide, it's her own fault for "sinning."
Every kingdom hall should be picketed during every meeting from now on.
How can these people sleep at night, knowing what they're doing to people?

When the urge to hit back is stronger than the instruction not to
by steve2 inclearly, any jw apologist or jw friendly person who posts on this forum knows full well they are breaking their own organization's policies.
everything else is mere detail.
even before the send button is struck, the jw knows they are doing something the organization has told them not to do.
