  The night my stepping down was announced, I deleted myself as an Admin on jw.org and got 'in trouble'.

  2 Samuel 6:7 was shared with me for being presumptuous.

  jdash - right?!

  On the way home from the meeting today my 14 year old said...."the murderer hanging on the stake...Jesus said would be in His kingdom. Was he baptized?"

  Also from today's Watchtower there were THREE specific places where baptism age was mentioned:

  1) "A teenager named Abigail, who got baptized at age 12"

  2) "An 18-year-old sister, baptized when she was 13"

  3) "That is a comment made by Olivia, who is 17 and who got baptized as a preteen"

  One of my other children asked...."how old was Jesus when he was Baptized?" I enjoyed reminding them of the answer.

  I LOVE this age of critical thinking and am hopeful it will save the wife and kids from high control group misery. Trust the unchanging life principles of the Bible, not a group of men and their institutionalized and fluctuating interpretations.

  No. Many millions who....weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation....Additionally, many now living (who have yet to become Jehovah's Witnesses) may yet begin to serve God, and they too will gain salvation.

  Why I get out of bed every morning.

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.

  you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.

  of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

  Some may read that letter and feel that since its from 1992, surely they don't still feel this way...right?

  WRONG

  As of the last nasty JC I was on 11/2017 before stepping down.....NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I spent hours on the phone with the legal and service desks. Only reveal what you are legally obligated to so as to prevent repercussion$ to the ORG is the SOP.
