my inactive jw hubby said he thought that babies/children too young to choose their beliefs would be brought back after armageddon in the jw belief system.
i have read the opposite on this board.
my husband hasn't been to a meeting in quite awhile and i don't think he paid too much attention when he was there ... lol ... so i thought i'd ask.
I remember asking this very question when I was young and curious. Here's then answer I received from the elder:
"Well, little viper's become big viper's, right? So, if it's born a snake, it will remain a snake."
Basically, the logic was supposed to be that if the parent was a snake then so are the children.
Here's my logic to them: Little rectum cavaties turn into big rectum cavaties....

You will never be an elder. Hell, you will never be a Ministerial Servant. But you will always get your eight hours a month in.
Here's to you!

all are welcome to attend philly phest (apostafest) brunch on sunday, january 11.
this will be the 2nd phest in the last three years.
if you missed the first one, then you missed meeting flower and her son jaden, badwillie and mrs. badwillie, and yours truly.
Okay.
Everything is finalized! Thanks to all who responded and who will be attending.
We will hopefully have lots and lots of pics to share with you all.
GO EAGLES!
first, i want to thank those of you who learned of my mother?s recent death and quietly sent messages of comfort without violating my need to keep the event unknown to the board in general until a time of my choosing.
that time is now here.
i had, of course, written here

as a jw, were you ever thisclose to having sex and then chickened out?
being raised (since the age of 7) as a jw, i grew up very frustrated sexually.
everything about sex carried a heavy burden of guilt.
keeshah (I want to say your name the way Ludacris would: "Keesh-ahhhhhh")-
Eventually you get so overwhelmed with guilt that you end up telling the elders. And they DO want to know all of the nasty details ESPECIALLY if you are a woman. Hopefully, you are confused no longer.
I also remember that a brother was giving a Sunday talk and he read a Proverb about he who is covering over his sins will not succeed. I then immediately after the meeting went to an elder to confess that I had masturbated recently.
What a dumb, gullible, teen I was.

I sent an e-mail to everyone who said they are attending. If you didn't receive an e-mail containing location/directions, please tell me ASAP!
DEVONMCBRIDE-
I got an 'Undiliverable' automated respone when I sent you the location and directions. It said you weren't accepting e-mails. If you wanna come, please let me know.

Enishi-
I was the opposite of you. I didn't have sex until marriage but I never turned down a chance to date a non-JW (if I was attracted to her). I guess everyone's JW conscience kicks in at different times. Unfortunatley for those I dated, my conscience didn't kick in until emotions were already involved.

Sorry for TMI, Nikita.
