go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.. .

The word "necessity" is not restrictive in any way. If one is baptized in the name of the farther, the son and the holy spirit, then they are baptized
I baptized my daughter in the birthing room. I later had her baptized in the church but that is because the bear minim is never good enough for her. lol.. I wanted her to have a proper baptism, with all our relatives there to welcome her into the Kingdom.
hello all, i am an exjw just trying to figure out whether this is a projw site or not.
i grew up in the cincinnati, oh area, father was (and still is) an elder.
brother died at age 20 because a blood transfusion was refused for him by the elders and he left a wife and little girl behind.
married2rangerboy,
Hi, welcome to JWD, I think you'll like it here.
JLOB,
I see you've started with the old Newbie Test Post, a tried and true method, to get you going. lol
Welcome to the board.
.
unless you are famous for something how long are you really remembered?.
maybe you are remembered at most by your grandchildren, but then your presence in the universe is gone.. so, really, what difference does it make whether you die in your 40's or your 70's, your memory simply lingers another 30 years at most.
Five generations seems to be the magic number in my family. I guess the longer you live the longer you are remembered.
my husband and i got into a discussion about joining the local catholic church, signing up for 2.5% of our income and getting married by a priest.
never went to church until 5 years ago.
we agreed to look into it.
teenyuck,
Since your curious about what goes on in a church. I thought, I would give you this very good link to Catholic Answers. I think, you'll find all the info you need to satisfy your curiosity about the mass and most questions you may have about what Catholics really believe.
the concept of life on other planets really fascinates me.
the thought of intelligent life even more so.
so, whenever i read headline.
When I was a kid I saw a UFO but as it got closer I identified it as a plain. (boy was I bumming) So I saw a UFO for 20 to 30 exciting seconds. I can't help but think if that plain were heading in another direction I would be swearing I saw a Space Ship until this very day.
after all I thought, if it is flying and I can't identify it, it is odiously form space. I know better now, but it was soooo exciting I'll never forget it.
since i am new on this forum, just thought i'd share my story.
(though it seems typical on here) born into jw's.
parent's nutty jw friends told them to raise children like nazi's, and not allow them to do anything, or associate with anyone other than jw kids.

Hi,
When you were baptized, were you baptized in the name of the farther son and holly spirit?

hi all!
some may know me from the beyond boards (of whatever you may call them
Hello Aztec,
welcome to JW.com. you will fined friends here but you'll find people who will not be very friendly at all, too. I hope you don't let them chase you off, remember a paper lion has no teeth. Now that you are here post away, I look forward to reading your one-thousandth post.
Peace,

my hubby & i had a debate tonight, so i'm kinda taking a poll..... my hubby says we should stop immigrations and start closing up the borders - except in cases of political asylum or a family member.
.
immigration has all ways been about cheep labor, form the Irish to the Mexicans. as long as there is profit in immigration, it won't stop. Look at Mexico for example, we could close the border but the farmers need Mexicans to pick, that's the way it is. The companies aren't about to let public opinion interfere with there profit margin, so I don't think it matters much what we think about it.
MrMoe,
The statue of liberty faces France, the birth place of liberty, to remind us we were not the first or the best. That "give me your......." crap was added to distract people from the real message of lady liberty.
