Baptized pre 25 years old

by Fadeaway1962 in

saw this on the bbc and thought you should see it:is 25 the new cut-off point for adulthood?

- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24173194.

i was baptized in my early 20s so now realize was too young mentally to understand the full impact of that decision and the long term impact on my life.. the org should stop putting pressure on young ones to get baptized..

They know what they are doing, they are trapping young born ins to a lifetime of slavery and servitude to their cult, with no easy way out.

GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series

by thedepressedsoul in

this letter was put out right when the series aired.

seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.

public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

Biahi

Was this PID available when Trey Bundy and Irwin Zalkin came to discuss things?

Hello Trolley JW's...

by The Fall Guy in

...at 1 peter 3:15 it says that if someone asks a christian about their christian hope, they should always be ready to explain it - with mildness & deep respect.

may i ask you about just one belief which jw's have?.

jw's have been instructed that god & jesus personally selected mr. rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919. .

I agree, most of their teachings seem to be from demons, not loving at all.

Evil Wind Chimes

by Sea Breeze in

i remember going door to door in the late 60's with my mother as a 5 or 6 year old.

one time she caught me looking at the wind chimes on a porch.

she told me they had pagan origins, were evil, and were somehow connected to demons.

Biahi

I got it, Seabreeze!

JW old books and mags selling hot on ebay

by JimmyYoung in

so i have an eye out for a couple of the more nefarious jw books from the past.

i look on ebay etsy and others.

i see that the older books are selling for a good price.

I have some oldies but goodies, saved for evidence. Would love to have a copy of bound volume Awake from 1969.

Anatomy of a former JW

by Victor in

jw
friends

one of the respondents on my post on mental illness stated that it was the same of ex jw's.

i thought about this for a couple of days and drawing from my personal experience, i can say that this is mostly true.

if one is disfellowshipped, the act of forcibly cutting off all ties to a jw's way of life is painful and in some cases inducing cognitive dissonance.
