(1) have you recognized yourself before jehovah god as a sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the father, through his son jesus christ?.

my personal experience part #1 (very long)

by dustrabbit in

[note: this essay, broken into sections for easier reading, was written as the first part of a three-part essay cycle written for a biography/autobiography writing class that i took so i could get my bachelors in english (with an emphasis in creative writing), thus it was meant for non-jehovahs witnesses.

the three parts were written during the fall 97 semester.

i purposely focused on three major events: 1. the catalyst for my spiritual journey away from the jw.

Minors bound to jw baptismal contract?

are minors legally bound to the wts baptismal contract?

(the two questions that we answer at the assembly before getting baptised).

the following website says no.

singsongboi,

I totally agree with what you're saying as to what "they" feel baptism means.

What the WBTS "thinks" and what is "legally binding" is what we're talking about.

The bible never speaks as baptism as a legal contract ..it is a public declaration of serving God.
With the WBTS and God being two separate identities where is the legal contract in this.

I was baptized at the age of 12. I took that baptism as meaning that I wanted to be a disciple of Christ and that I believed in God. I also at that time knew that we were not to put our trust in man.

I know that a marriage ceremony is also a public declaration ..with that I also signed a marriage license which would enter that as a legal document..the public marriage ceremony would have been void without that. I was also under legal age for that and had to have the signature of a parent or it too would have been void.

Does anyone have a copy of the baptismal questions that were asked before they made the changes? I would look it up on my CD ROM but it's not working..I think I used it one too many times as a coaster for my beer.
