Kids ... and baptism.

by Tallon in

i have noticed, from reading posts on this and other related websites, what to me is an alarming practice taking place within the jw's.

and that is the baptism of kids.. on a recent discussion posted by pe ( video of the girl now forced to shun her sister) this child was baptised at 9 years old.

all of us who were baptised at a much older age know of the many questions one needs to give serious consideration and understanding of to become eligible for baptism, not to mention the two baptism questions asked before being dunked.. surely the organisation must know that children of such a young age are not mature enough to fully grasp the seriousness, demands and consequences of making such a decision.. another point; if jesus is the example to follow, then why did he only get baptised at age 30, and he was perfect!.

New Cringe Worthy Music Video From July Broadcast

by JW_Rogue in

the song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.

lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

OK - Only made it through the first minute. Total Yuk.

New baby on the way... and transfusions

by Anony Mous in

it's been a while since i posted life updates.

this time we are having a baby boy come along in a few months.

off course nothing is ever easy, my wife is extremely anemic to the extent we are being referred to a hematologist for iron and/or packed red blood cells and potential full blood transfusions.

Moster

As they say - "Let's review....It's a CULT"!

CULT indoctrination seems to always remain to one extent or another.

Congrats on your baby, and all the best for your wife and son.

by The Fall Guy in

JW.org - My Book of Bible Stories - Story 104:

"After Jesus says this, an amazing thing happens. He begins going up into heaven, as you can see here. Then a cloud hides him from sight, and the disciples don’t see Jesus again. Jesus goes to heaven, and he begins to rule over his followers on earth from there."

Good News From God - Lesson 7:

"God’s Kingdom began ruling in 1914. * Jesus’ first action as King was to throw Satan and his demons down to the earth. Satan became furious and began causing trouble throughout the earth."

The only thing I liked was volunteering. Got out of my seat and away from the boredom.

That and having the regular meetings cancelled the week following!

A Poll Regarding Shunning

by pale.emperor in

i've created a poll here: https://goo.gl/7xburo.

i'd be interested in seeing the results.. .

#qp_main1119848 .qp_btna:hover input {background:#00355f!important} #qp_all1119848 {max-width:815px; margin:0 auto;}if watchtower scrapped the shunning policy due to "new light" and your family suddenly agreed to speak to you again would you accept them back?.

Moster

Even though I was baptized, I faded away and was never disciplined in any manner. Except along came "July 15, 1985 WT, the Governing Body applied the injunction in 2 John 10 (against antichrists) to those that disassociate themselves. No mention at all is made of the context of this passage (verse 7 tells us that these ones deny Christ as come in the flesh). Nevertheless, the penalty meant for true apostate teachers is now applied to ANYONE disassociating himself. The article is not specific as to whether this total shunning is to be carried out with relatives living in one's own home or not.

The Witnesses are then counseled not to even say a simple greeting to such ones, and to avoid having them in their houses at all."

My apostasy was of fading away and minding my own business, I was shunned by my family. At some point (my memory fades as well) the org once again reversed it's policy and my family came calling.

So I voted Yes.

Although the hurt and damage was already done, I did want to have a relationship with my family.

Gerrit Losch Claims JW's Attending College Are Spiritually Weak

by pale.emperor in

https://www.facebook.com/jw.0027/videos/799049613609936/.

the video was posted directly to a pro-jw facebook page.

i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.

Moster

"We don't want to, or wont tell you what to do" but, going to college may be a reflection of your faith - or lack thereof..

We praise you for dropping out (the opposite is condemn you).

But who are we to say you shouldn't go - its your decision - but - you are a sinner if you do (you are imitating the worldly people by getting an education).

Isn't it nice how this shallow well of uneducated persons makes all the rules for everyone else?

Soon they wont want you to educate your children at all. Don't even let them read. They might find out what we are up to...trust us, just watch this video we have prepared for you, here have some koolaid its refreshing!
