  If Children grow up in the Truth but never get Baptized, why no shunning?

  by NotaNess in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i kind of understand the "never made the real commitment" part, but isn't learning the "truth" for 15 to 20 years, and going out into the "world" as opposed to committing,... the same as choosing to not accept jehover's (aka wts) ways and be with the brothers and sisters in union?.

  why is the shunning treated different?

  is it because, there's always hope by the parents, that they will come around?, etc.. .

  "So it's highly likely that JW parents that see a son or daughter as being more of a "Rebellious" nature, they would actually literally tell their child or young adult to "pass" on the baptism thing for now, for fear of having to end up really shunning them down the road."
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I talk to him all the time(he knows how I really feel about the Truth) and have thanked him so meny times for talking me out of geting Baptized.

  Spiderman 3 (Spoilers, do not read unless you want the movie ruined)

  i went and saw spiderman 3 this last weekend and wondered what others thought of it.

  i liked it, but felt there was a lot less storyline covered, which seems to be the problem with all of marvels third installments (x3).

  i wished it could have had more time with venom, and not the quick battle at the end, that ended all to quick.

  well, i left around january or february, and it's been about 3 months or so experiencing "worldly" living.

  i gotta say...it's been an interesting and uncomfortable transition, to say the least.

  i would just like to update everyone on how i'm doing, and share some of my worldly experiences, as well.
