  What is the main reason the Watchtower Society baptize their children so young?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus was thirty was he was baptized.

  today, you hear of young children getting baptized as young as 10 years old.

  the parents, family and congregation think it's a wonderful idea that someone dedicates their life to jehovah at such a young age.

  IMO, if you're not old enough to get married, you're not old enough to get baptized.

  Attention all Bethelite Lurkers!

  you have your bethel watchtower study on a monday evening, as i understand it.therefore, prepare your hearts and your bible trained consciences to "test the inspired expressions" being presented as bible truth in the next study article - especially this one;w14 11/15 p. 26 par.

  "acts 1:8 - "you will be witnesses of me...." [jesus]john 1:15 - "john bore witness about him..." [jesus]john 5:37 - "the father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.

  "revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to jesus.

  I've tried this line of reasoning before. 

  Heres the stock answer: "But Jesus perfectly reflects his father's qualities, so being Jesus Witnesses is the same as being Jehovah's Witnesses."

  It's per person too, so if you're married it's more.

  stuckinarut is correct. This was likely done for Bethel Family Night. Not meant for the public. 

  Blurred Lines would have been more apropos. 

  As far as the sisters wearing pants, depending on their job, they've been allowed to wear pants since at least when I was there in 2001.

  JW TV is the reason for the hysteria in the KH

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.

  its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.

  there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".

  UFCFan: if you're not already, don't get baptized to go through the motions. 

  Say you love Jehovah, want to dedicate your life to him, but want to make sure the desires incidental to youth don't cause you to stumble and displease your God. That will put them off for another year or two.

  Then, you could always tell them you touched a girls boob at school and that's why you don't feel right get baptized. You want to have a "clean conscience" before Jehovah.

  there are many ways to deal with it and put it off.

  Did You Know Any Bad JWs?

  over the years, i knew some individuals that were pretty bad witnesses.

  they broke more commandments that most.

  I was "bad" sometimes. But so were some of my friends. 

  But looking back, we were just young trying to spread our wings and fly.

  As an adult, though, I cuss occasionally, drink a ton (rarely get "drunk" though), betray my neutrality by getting mad at that retard in the white house, Obama, and lie on my FS report.

  But, from what I've seen in a lifetime of being in this organization, that doesn't really make me a bad JW. It really makes me a typical JW.

  Is 40 days without food the best choice?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in chapter 4 of luke it says jesus went into the wilderness and he ate nothing but fasted forty days and forty nights..

  now i dont know about any of you but i once got on a 5 day liquid diet and only lasted 2 days.

  i was so hungry that even when i fell asleep i started dreaming a hot brunette was handing me a couple of slices of pizza.

  Maybe Jesus watched Fat Sick and Nearly Dead and happened to have a juicer and plenty of Kale with him. 

  The guy on that show did a 60 day fast.

  ...But for some reason I'm drawn to this particular sect.
