Question about baptism around 1973- can anyone answer for me?

by Virgochik in

i am hoping someone will take a look at this and be able to help me with my question.. i was baptized in 1973, you know, because i was a teenager and old enough to stand on my own when armageddon descended in 1975. .

perhaps elders, or any former elders especially, but anyone who was around then could help me with this question, because i honestly don't recall, and really need to know.. what were the baptismal questions the candidates responded to back then?

were we still asked if we repented of our sins, turned around, and were being baptized in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit?.

will you help us support satan!

you are willing too forced your religion on others who don't want to do it.

you are going to persistently annoy neighbours then demonise them for not joing your religion?

Speaking of the Flood... Does the Earth Move?

by kepler in

just read over the long thread about a letter to hq regarding noah's flood.

reminded of another literal litmus test.

within 7 years of beginning telescopic observations of the heavens, galileo was called to judgment by the inquisition in 1616. disputes in this case abound, but the biblical arguments for which galileo was tried and condemned "revolved" around i chronicles 16:30, psalms 93:1, 96:10, 104.5 and ecclesiastes 1:5, summarized by "the world is established; it shall never be moved.

all hail gravity and the god particle :) for now stick with science on this subject as it is. If you choose to believe what the bible says on motion movement of the stars etc you are no different than the bastards who forced the dark ages on us!

I'm getting baptized

by BlackWolf in

jw
friends

i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

ok go with the reason the choose to baptise people later in age, say you want to be 20-30 when your baptised to keep with the scriptures.... hopefully saves you a few years to establish "worldy friends" :) If your family chooses religion over you then they are not worthy of eithers love :)

When I arrived I am volunteering but I know I need to get a job. Should I continue with uni and let my grades suffer (couldn't sit 2 Christmas exams, will probably fail 2 exams soon as well) or what advice have you to give?

Since leaving WTTS have you joined a new church or just continue with the new beliefs you have discovered under no religion?

Evolution: The Deal Breaker

by Hadriel in

first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

AmIright

I agree with crazyguy too. Do you really think humans could exist today if we lived along side dinosaurs XD

evidence that life (very simple cells) were first brought to earth on a asteroid commet etc....just looks at how bacteria and very microscopic creatures can survive being brought into space. my favourite creature is by far the "water bear" and as I typed it into google I found some Chinese creep on jw.org saying the creature praises Jehovah.... evolution exists without it, life would perish. think of it in this sense why would a creator allow change to the earth but deny its creatures the chance to evolve to this stimulus. in the sense of a perfect creator evolution should stand on its own or else you could deny that the creator wasn't perfect in the beginning ;) if you research more you will find that there is possible evidence for multiple universes. this in turn would destroy all current religion as the animals were not created by Jehovah but just happened because it was in the right universe. but then you have to think about how did multiple universes come about? maybe then one religion will dominate....
