Can this legally apply to those who were baptized before the Baptism questions were amended?
I was baptized in 1974 when the original wording was used?
Anyone have a legal answer for this?

Since you are already DFD, they have not hold on you, whatsoever.
If you want to talk with them, let them know you have no interest in returning and thank them for their concern.
If they press you about why you have not interest in returning, advise them that your religious feelings are personal between you and Almighty God and you do not wish to discuss religion or politics.
That should be sufficient.

It's about 10:00 AM EST in Hollywood, FL this morning and we just heard on the TV news about this tragedy.
The news also reported that his wife has not even been notified yet because she is in another country hiking. I feel so sorry for her and their children and to know she has to come home to hear this sad news. It's heartbreaking.

Raymond Franz is a good man
by slimboyfat ini have come across some old threads that make various accusations against rayfranz, but i think on the whole he seems a kind and thoughtful person.
he didn't do everything right, and he is no saint as some make out: his expulsion is a bit flatteringly called a "crisis of conscience", but he came to terms with the disorienting situation well and did a service to all involved with the witnesses by giving us a look behind the curtain.
some of the things that people hold against him it seems:.

If it wasn't for Ray Franz revealing the inside workings of the organization and his own personal experiences, my husband and I might still be 'brainwashed' dubs.
He made mistakes while in the organization, but so did all of us.
His greatest contribution to our spiritual education and awareness was COC and Christian Freedom.
He is indeed a 'good man'.

Bethel meals
by Alligator Wisdom inhave any of you had the experience of eating with the bethel family?.
what were some of the idiosyncrasies of it?.
as i mentioned before in another thread, it was brought up to me by another jw guest after the meal that it was "as if this was like a cult" when everyone would drop their utensils on que, stand up in unison and end the meal with a prayer.

My husband and I have eaten at Bethel in Brooklyn NY and at the time, I thought all those oddities and rituals were so spiritual, etc.
Now I realized how cultish those actions were and how truly brainwashed many are in the org.

Take care of yourself and do not let your blood family members attitudes and lack of support rob you of your chance to live longer and healthier.
Remember that they are brainwashed and cannot see past what the borg has taught them.
Love yourself..............
