Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism

by cedars in

if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

(unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

comparing getting baptized to getting a driver's license --- let's see:

-no one gets pressured by parents to get driver's license. if anything, quite the opposite. no one wants sky-high insurance rates

-one does not need parental permission to get baptized. if both parents are worldly, Johnny Teenager can get baptized on his own and even against his parents' wishes

-parents must give permission for driver's license and until kid is legal adult, parents can revoke permission

-everyone must get learner's permit, go to driving school, and pass driving test to get DL.

-minor drivers get provisional DL, a license with certain restrictions

-once you're baptized, there is no trial period

-if you don't wanna drive anymore, you don't. you are not ostracized by society for not renewing your DL

-if you don't wanna be JW anymore, kiss your social life and sanity goodbye

-there are driving manuals which clearly state the laws of your locale (For example, did you know that by having a DL, you cannot refuse to take a sobriety test) and any penalties. You can find these rules online on your state's website.

I'm sure there more.

I watched my first demonic movie today...

by serenitynow! in

and nothing happened.

there aren't any voices, nothing is moving around on its own.

i watched insidious, the first, without a doubt, demonic movie.

QueenWitch

I've watched so many "demonic" movies. I even watch The Ghost Whisperer from time to time. Oh, but my favorite show is Supernatural. I'm thinking about getting that pentagram tat the Winchesters have.

alex, our youngest, married monika fischer on july 1. i thought i'd toss out a few pictures as everyone involved was making an effort to look presentable.

the bride.

QueenWitch

I really liked that the bride showed off her tat. BTW, was it a pagan wedding? I ask because bride & groom look very nature-y

Marriage

by Kool Jo in

so i was just thinking...since many of us became aware of the real truth about the wtbs, many have also questioned the existence of a god, the truthfulness of the bible/holy books and the many practices associated with religion/christianity.... .

some have started to celebrate birthdays, christmas ect after leaving the borg...for those out there, i have a question regarding marriage:.

1. do you still think that marriage is important?

QueenWitch

Marriage is important from a legal standpoint. From a religious / spirtual standpoint, it's only as important as the parties involved make it. I teach my son that having sex without being able to take care of yourself, your partner, and any resulting children is frowned upon. He's 16. I also tell him that it's preferable to be in a committed relationship. I do NOT tell him that it is necessary to be married. My 20 yr old daughter lives with her boyfriend. I disprove only because I don't like him and I think he is wrong for her. But she's grown, and it's none of my business. I'm going to visit them for her 21st birthday.

And yes, I fully support persons living together without being legally married.

Why womenz are dumber than menz

by Dogpatch in

jw
friends

the glorious insight of the old farts at bethel :.

why womenz are dumber than menz (and should not be trusted...).

in fact, (unwritten but implied) they should be beaten)!.

QueenWitch

Now that I've lost my lunch -

So if women are submissive to men, a JW wife who is forbidden to go to the KH by worldly hubs is excused, right?

If women are so stupid, why is car insurance cheaper? Yes, we have smaller heads but we also have smaller body frames; the average woman is smaller than the average man. Oh, and what's the deal with comparing women's brains to starving African children? Smells of racism and sexism. And the GB needs to stay the fark out of my moontime. I betcha none of them can bleed for 7 days straight without passing out.

Add your favorite JW prayer cliche'

by King Solomon in

you know what i'm talking about: the trite, often-repeated phrases that convey the person offering the prayer has drawn a mental blank, and utters these words while their brain desperately searches for the next cliche', so they can conclude the ritual with the required tag, "in jesus' name we pray".... (is that like the postage stamp?).

ok, i'll kick this one off, and take the most obvious:.

"forgive us where we fall short....".

I can't think of anymore; it's been so long.

I always wanted to say, so be it or so mote it be instead of amen. Means the same thing, right?

"How are you today, God?" *booming voice*"How dare you ask! I'm much too high and almighty to listen to your puny questions!!! *thunder and lightening*
