Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE that a person who has been with the organization for over 30 years cannot know that JWs are not baptized as presented at Matt 28:19?
i'm sure most of you have read bits and pieces of my story throughout the last year being on this site.
i've decided as a human being, and as an adult, i'm going to make the decision on whether to stay with the jw religion or leave it.
i of course have many doubts about the organization which has lead me to do research.
Congratulations!
....For why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience?
Paul, 1 Corinthians 10:29b
being a jw makes one feel special, no doubt.
when i found out ttatt i realized i'm not special at all.
i'm just one of the other 7 billion human beings who will live and die being nobody, the world will forget about them (and i'm not talking about relatives and friend), they didn't make anything special in their life, they didn't change the course of history, were not famous nor rich, didn't invent facebook, google or anything awesome, didn't have an article published in newscientist, had no imdb profil, not even a wiki page, didn't write a book etc.

"the world is much worse off today then yesterday .
.
i know the basic answers, but give me some more ammunition.
I have asked, "Well, which era would have worked out better for you and why?"
i have always wondered how jws believe about "post-armaggeddon" earth.
question#1 how will jws survivors bury all of the dead bodies.
with about 4 billion people on earth today how can 8 million jw(1/2 of them children and babies) bury all of those dead bodies?
So the animals that are currently carnivorous will suddenly have no interest in the consumption of meat, and the birds will become ravenous flesh eaters.
Is that the teaching?
this is the followup to this thread:.

the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .
WOW Congratulations!
do the jw's still teach that those resurrected will not marry and be without a sex?
(eunich).
can't help but think that it is the same with those hit with radiation during a bombing.. .
....but the married ones will remain married, right?
what do you think of this picture?
a friend of mine posted this on her facebook page.
she is not a jw and has never been one.
What kid wants to sit nicely through ANY adult "seminar" with uncomfortable clothes and shoes? Do you sincerely think that a kid with this level of writing skills really has an issue with religion? We don't know what denomination of church this is, but generally mosts adherents put in an hour to an hour and a half max in 7 days... not nearly what the JW kids endure.
Shirley... I've wondered the same in reverse. Trying to imagine the opposite makes my brain hurt.
My perception of religion is open and the freedom I've always had makes me curious about what I don't know. Studying hermeneutical contrasts is fascinating to me. The notion of locking in and declaring one denomination more righteous than another seems inherently judgmental. Is that who we're supposed to be?
so i havent been to a meeting in some time and my wife decided we should go.
we showed up late, i was love bombed by an elder with a man-hug where i felt i was made a spectacle of.
moving on.

Jesus/Michael came to earth so women could wear pantyhose. Is there a preferred sanitary napkin brand?
As an outsider, I'm going to venture to guess that the preferred brand of the GB would be "Always."
"Stayfree" would have to be an apostate-endorsed brand.
