If there are no brothers around to baptize, do the sisters have to wear a bathing cap if they want to baptize someone???

shouldn't it have been the person who gave you your bible study, that should have baptized you?
in matthew 28:19,20 it says "go therefore and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.. the way i see it, it should have been the one who gave you the biblical knowledge, that should have baptized you.
making disciples is phase one, and baptizing them is phase two.

in another thread heathen gave me a great idea.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=43769&site=3.
i'm always hearing apostates propose the idea of partaking of the emblems or passing out apostate literature at the memorial... but heathen has given me an even better idea.... a mass walk-out.
well, at least five people or so .
Was that mass walkout or walk out of mass(KH)

The catholic church doesn't offer alcohol to children in the church. The witnesses do offer wine to every child, under age.

In my case, the one who spent over a year teaching me the bible, wasn't even present when I got baptized. He was too occupied with some privilege, working his way up hoping to be an elder one day.

I wonder if it takes a permit to pass alcohol around in a public place, especially where there are children???

i looked at the memorial attendance for 2001 on the watchtowers site, and it adds up to 15,375,000 people who attended the memorial world wide.
although there is only 6,117,000 witnesses in the world, do you believe that these additional 9.200,000 people who attended the memorial will one day fall into the hands of the watchtower?
if the memorial didn't exist, then 9.2 million people wouldn't have went to the hall in the first place.

was it family, friends, the belief that this all was really true?
What kept me in was the imminence of Armageddon and the fear of losing eternal life. I am inactive now, but I still think of what I might lose if I don't go back. But how can I go back when all I see is evil and control.
do you think that if a brother didn't become a ministerial servant in a reasonable amount of time, that he was considered weak?
did you want to be a ms or did you prefer not to have any responsibilities in the congregation?
