  Foetus baptism

  foetus baptism - surely coming to a watchtower study article soon?

  jw parents are reminded of 2 ti.3:14,14 "from infancy you have known the holy writings".

  and the watchtower explains the greek word bre'phos "infancy" as follows: "...it is generally used of an unborn child.

  Hi Stuckinarut2. You make a good point "technically they just need to be asked the two questions" - maybe a "simplified" version of the "Organized" book is needed, with the 2 baptism questions simplified for "unborn infants" to comprehend? Of course, verbal communication is not the only available form of communication. I only know a little about haptic and kinaesthetic communication, but if these little people are responding to songs then let's just go with this: if they respond to the playing of "Sing out Joyfully" songs, or even "original songs" in the monthly broadcast, then surely that is sufficient response to indicate their life-long contract to the Borg? Of course, if they respond to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" then they're not ready for baptism yet...

  To recap, when the elders "go through the questions", the "infant" has already:

  • Attended all weekly meetings
  • Been consistently present for Family Worship
  • Regularly been out in service with their mother
  • Remained completely silent (this indicating tacit approval) during brother Oldie's item when he asked "Does anyone here have ANY doubts in the Governing Body?" - Surely, a key doctrine these days.
  • When questioned, the parents were emphatic that the "infant's" request to be baptised was entirely their own personal choice

(https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1972123?q=infancy+greek+word&p=par#h=11) There you have it folks! It's just a matter of time before foetus baptism is encouraged...

  Anyone care to speculate how the brother that is in charge of immersions will cater for that type of baptism candidate?

  Losch refers to a man who attempted suicide. The JW quote is from here:

  Source: g88 7/8 p. 30 (https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101988491) Bullet Surgery A 22-year-old man “plagued by a compulsion to wash hundreds of times a day” accidentally “performed successful neurosurgery on himself” while attempting suicide, reports the New York Daily News. Distressed over his obsessive-compulsive behavior, he “put a .22-caliber rifle in his mouth and fired a shot that hit the left front lobe of his brain,” explains the News. Instead of killing himself, the young man actually removed the portion of the brain that is believed to control obsessive behavior, reported Dr. Leslie Solyom in the British Journal of Psychiatry. Freed from his compulsive behavior, the individual has a new job and currently attends college.

  ...and the "non-JW" article from 1988 archives on Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1988/02/26/failed-suicide-attempt-succeeds-as-surgery/1f8a88a0-efd8-45df-9e13-6312aab59dcd/?utm_term=.e6ee449459a2

  ...and original New York Times article: https://nyti.ms/2Gisno2

  ...with an ironic twist.... "Although George's depression did not disappear and he is still on medication, the bullet's action has enabled him to resume a normal life and go on to college." (Washington Post). New York Times article even relates that he is "now a straight-A college student". How ironic is that? Losch chooses to "skim read" the story - failing to fact check the slightest details - and shoots himself in the foot. Losch has actually quoted about this failed suicide to CONDEMN education...failing to be aware that the REAL person actually ends up in HIGHER EDUCATION. You just couldn't make this stuff up! :-)

  Are they becoming mainstream? They now have a Relief Fund!

  Wait...sorry, that relief fund contains just £26 (of the £1m+ funds total - the rest is for building the real estate property empire). Still, £26 would buy 13 cups of coffee for the homeless. It's a start, bless 'em...

  Fast forward podcast to 42:30 where Linda's interview begins...

  New York Times writer Mark Oppenheimer interviews Linda Curtis, whose memoir Shunned: How I Lost My Religion and Found Myself, chronicles her decision to leave her close-knit Jehovah’s Witness community, which ultimately led to her being formally shunned by the religion. Linda tells us about life as a Jehovah’s Witness, why she left, and why she has no animosity toward the community—and family—that shunned her. Her story begins when she is on the house-to-house ministry and knocks on the door of her co-worker...and begins to "hear" her own voice...

  Linda Curtis is an executive consultant, speaker, and mindfulness teacher who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 2003 she has consulted with hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, leaders, C-suite executives, and their teams. Her client list includes MasterCard, RSF Social Finance, NASDAQ, and KPMG. She serves on the core faculty of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI.org), the groundbreaking mindfulness and emotional intelligence program developed at Google. She teaches their Search Inside Yourself course around the world at organizations including Google, Red Bull, L’Oreal, Vanderbilt University, Genentech, and LinkedIn.
