I have spoken to members of my family about being baptized young. I was 14, husband 15, daughter 14 and our son was older 19. Not one of us now feels if we knew what we were actually dedicating ourselves to. My husband and I baptized in the 60s we thought it was Jehovah, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, no where was the Governing Body mentioned, probably because they didn't exist in the 60's. My son made the comment to me last week that he wasn't the same person at 19 that he became at 25.

Loving JW Father and Mother Make Son Divorce After Lies and Deceit and Pressure From Nosy Elders.
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker init's not often we can share some good news where a bad situation has progressive jws come to the rescue and ignoring the elders jedi-mind-meld tricks!.
how often did you see jehovah witness elders or friends, servants, older men or the wisdom of the sisters who were pass the bloom of their youth give advice to kids thinking about getting married?
would you feel sick if the elders knew the woman you were going to marry was mentally ill, currently she had her depression and hallucinations under control because she was taking hard core medications?

The Elders will now start stalking him because "Jehovah hates a divorcing" they look at annulment the same way. How do I know? watched something very similar happen. Elders and CO answerd to young man, should have got to know her before vows. My question HOW? You discourage dating, being alone together. Tell young man run the other direction or his life will be one continuous JC.

What am I going to wear to the AGM?
by sherrie11 into the women out there that have been honoured with an invitation this is the question they ask themself.. .
i am going to admit one of the reasons i enjoyed the meetings was getting to dress up.
how many women out there found the meetings an excuse to dress up.

OF course what we wore was important . IT was a reason to celebrate even if itvwas only with a new dress. It became the only time we could ourselves first and do a small amount in our stange way of celebrating life.

For myself I don't care it family members that has me concerned. THey all we handle any announcement differently but all (or most) will find a way to accept. 73 years as a JW is a lot of years to have to change.

I am so sorry to hear of the way you are being treated. JWs are so confused these days they cant follow their own hearts in dealing with family. This is part of the brainwashing. As the mother of an gay ex JW, I have watched the pain that their beliefs cause. I have come to a point in my life I actually feel sorry for JWs not being free to love their own families. This actually destroys the JW Organization in the long run. More of the younger ones are turning and running away from JW teachings.

Lois Lane, I am/was sister in congregation. I never enjoyed giving talks. I was a householder on the first theocratic school where sister delivered talks, so I started out early in life (11 years old first time 1959). It never became easier and I was thrilled to give up giving talks. Glad I wasn't a brother.
