eight year old getting baptized!
(from a jw site.
this 8 year old sister was the youngest of the 31 who were baptized at a regional convention in bogo city, cebu, philippines on the weekend.
I completely agree with Morpheus.
In Christendom, there are no real social consequences egged on by the religious institutions.
This child is making a commitment to fracturing her family should she or they choose to walk another path.
In the interest of full disclosure, the baptismal vow SHOULD read, "We don't really have a clear understanding of what the H×%_! € God is telling us, but do you agree to forsake all family members who disagree with us anyways?"
in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.
huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.
this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.
Absolute without fail... Standard Poodles. Loving, protective, insanely intelligent (mine used to hide in the bathtub if she thought she was in trouble), and the biggest reason?... THEY DO NOT SHED.... NOTHING.... NADA.... NEVER

Civil suit next? Boy, I really hope so....
i think these boards are great!
it gives us the opportunity to express our feelings, our viewpoints, our concerns, etc.
when we were jws we could not freely do any of that.
So minimus is actually maximus?
. Does that make this impostor an impostate?
I CRACK MYSELF UP
long story, short; angelo was bad, he went to prison.
dan was bad, he went to prison too.
dan became a dub and studied with angelo.
Berrygerry...
As I read it, my mouth fell further and further open. All I could think was... "do the ones I know and love really believe this happened?"
It made me think of the infamous "Andre" JWNers talk about.

Maybe this is Dan... or Angelo... (An exact "copy and paste" of an actual Facebook post)
HOW WELL DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR DAILY TEXT?...
consider these experience:
A sister was reading her examining the scriptures one morning, unknown to her,she kept her door opened when she woked up that morning and went to ease herself then a thief sneaked into the house and hide under her bed,The sister began by singing a song from our song book..then the bible text for that day was ''LET THE STEALERS STEAL NO MORE BUT LET HIM DO HARD WORK...and it was supported with the bible portion that says NO THIEF NOR GREEDY PERSON WILL INHERIT GOD'S KINGDOM....after she finished she prayed and stood up from the palour leaving her bible on the table,when she came into the palour to her suprice..her bible was lost..the thief had stolen her bible...two years later the sister went to a district convention,to her greatest delight the man that was a thief has stolen her bible.sudy the bible and got baptised..then he brought the bible to the sister and told her these story...wow..the sister was so happy..Her lost bible won a soul...SO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO READ THE BIBLE,PRAY REGULARLY AND EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES DAILY
a documentary states that this cult leader, who claims to be jesus, used to be "a jehovah's witness pastor".
i guess they mean elder.
does anybody from australia recognize him?.
Thanks Hidden-Window. How the heck did I miss that? I wonder if his parents were/are JWs.
my husband and i have been out of the org for quite some time, but still find that old ideas and values come up and bite us on the ass.. lately, i've been plagued by an increase in the frequency and severity of my nightmares (which have always been an issue,) so i've begun to dream journal.
in just a few days, this realization cropped up.
i can't save people.. i've been blogging again recently.
In my conversations with individuals in their 50's and 60's who were raised as JWs and left (w/o being baptised), they seem to have been adversely affected by the "fact" that the huge buildings they could see in the distance were going to be destroyed and all the non-jws were going to die. I have limited contact with JWs but the striking similarities of childhoods being affected by the fear of death that was going to befall non-JWs seems to be a common theme.
I'm sure that my imagination of this type of childhood couldn't possibly create the physiological effects from which you suffer.
I hate that you still suffer.

Guess I should have been paying closer attention. Had it playing in the background and missed the JW connection. :(
i was talking to a jw friend of mine who is going for tests to see if she needs evasive surgery.
she was describing to me the look on the surgeons face when she told him she won't except blood.
i just felt sorry for her.
Welcome Myjourney. :)
I started off with the vaccination policy quotes after a JW friend of mine insisited I get a flu shot. They weren't happy to see that. Moved onto organ transplant quotes and they were appalled. Somehow, they couldn't see the correlation between those misstatements and the potential for a doctrinal change in the blood policy.
I was told, "Unlike those policies, the blood doctrine is scriptural."
