JWs: No Infant Baptism! (just children)

by neat blue dog in

here's a new article that came out:.

do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.

the bible does not endorse infant baptism.

I was forced one month after I turned 14. I was so stiff when getting dunked, the brother told me to relax. I didn’t want to do it! I was “bracing myself.” This organization sucks big time.

How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?

by Ding in

some people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".

i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.

I never really believed that only JWs would survive Armageddon.

at least at the moment it looks like no one is dead, but 6 injured (9:00 am pacific time 14 nov 2019).. i don't know if the school allows students to carry weapons, but many will think it would be a good idea for the students to carry concealed weapons to provide personal protection.. we shall see.. rub a dub.

Unfortunately, this is what’s happening in the US. Metal detectors may deter some of this. And, you are correct, hoser, bullying needs to be stopped.

Food for thought-if it wasn't for the Roman Catholic church would Christianity have faded out into oblivion?

by nowwhat? in

since it was the church that put together the bible canon and it was was them that spread the teaching throughout the known world.

thoughts?.

I’ve heard more than one Protestant refer to the RCC as the “mother” church.

Ewart Chitty

ewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.

the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.

the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.

No abuse, that’s disgusting!

If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

by neat blue dog in

just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

STILL TOTALLY ADD, I’m with you! I had, as a child, nightmares, stuttering, hives caused by nerves (per the Dr.), always felt under condemnation by God, because he knew I didn’t like anything about this religion. I didn’t like meetings or assemblies, hated field service, and wanted so badly to “fit in” and be normal, like flag salute, Christmas, birthdays, Halloween, etc. mom told me at age 8 that Jehovah would kill me at Armageddon if I saluted the flag. I had it drummed into my head that this was “the truth”, and si I believed it was, and I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me if I hated it so much. Sigh.

January 2020 WT, earthly hope

by neat blue dog in

one of the latest wts rehashes this core jw theology.

i know it's old hat, but i feel it's always worth pointing out, as it's one of the major things to wake me up and it's relatively easily proven using the bible alone.. throughout the bible, there aremany examples of men of faith who re-ceived holy spirit; yet, they did not havethe hope of living in heaven.

john the baptistwas “filled with holy spirit.” (luke 1:13-16) jesus said that there was no mangreater than john, but then he said thatjohn would not be included in the heav-enly kingdom.
