Longhairgal- I was baptized at 15. Not even old enough for a legal contract. I say it's voided out.

1985 and baptism...I wish I had read this before today
by enoughisenough ini am posting a link as to being legally bound to jw rules at time of baptism.
i only did a quick skim, but what i gathered is interesting, and what it says about 1985 may be of use to some hoping to just fade and not be bothered.
in 1985, the questions were changed at baptism for legal purposes so they could have causation to defend themselves should you decide to sue for whatever reason.

refusing to go in service with someone
by enoughisenough indid you ever refuse to go in service with someone?
i did.... i went to the kh to meet for service and 3 brothers were there.
i told the brother taking the lead, that when he made up the car groups to take note i had a plan of my own -the 3 brothers could go together and i would do my own thing.

I liked working with one partner. We would pretend to knock on doors and we secretly dumped alot (placed) Watchtower and Awake 's.

Did becoming a JW influence you to give up something you enjoyed ?
by smiddy3 inwhen i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.

When I was a Jdub, I was always near broke. Now that I'm not a Jw, I got cash to burn.

My whole family faded out. If people choose to follow the rules of this cult, which is so "high school" what children do to one another in a school yard, is very pathetic. And yes I have some family stuck in and lost friends. But who needs friends like them, they are not true friends.

This spoils my fun. I can't yell out "Impostore" when they set their carts up in the town square.

Being raised a Jw was not enjoyable. It was restricted and prevented any growth. Watchtower hinders personal development and higher learning. They want a bunch of dumb people who can't think for themselves. I refuse not to be placed in their pathetic state.

As many here would testify. You would have to be very stupid or mentally unconscious to allow the abuse that Watchtower puts you through as a Jw. My family and I have experienced enough of it.
