I guess that the younger a child gets baptized, the more spiritual they will say he/she is. Just like the more often you are in the field service, the more spiritual you are.

21Baptism Age
by JH indo you feel as if children in the watchtower organization get baptized too early in age?
when you think that in most places, you have to be at least 18 years old to vote, go in a bar, or have a drivers licence.
being told that it was the most important day of our life, wouldn't it be reasonable to wait to be at least 18 years old before getting baptized.

If a person gets disfellowshipped later in life and can't speak to his children or family, can he sue the watchtower for getting baptized too young, thus not knowing what he got himself into?

Children 11 or 12 years old getting baptized don't realize what they are getting into. They are only obeying their parents. How old do you think a child should be before getting baptized?

The coming "disassociations"
by Elsewhere ini have seen several threads about how the elders are going to be going around asking people if they still consider themselves to be jehovah's witnesses.
this will undoubtedly result in multiple da announcements in the coming months.
i'm curious how the average jw will perceive this and respond to it.

If people just didn't get baptized, then no one could be Disfellowshipped. That would take away their power over us.

Sweet Revenge
by JH inhas it ever occured to you to think about doing something nasty towards the elders of your congregation after being disfellowshipped?
do you ever get ideas about getting even with them?
maybe your way of getting even is just by being here on this forum and letting everyone know about them.edited by - jh on 16 december 2002 18:19:0.

I hate them, they did a good job on ruining my life
It must be pretty frustrating, to see people try to ruin your life, and not be able to do much about it. Thats why they keep on doing it over and over, it's becaue they have no consequences to their actions.

Theocratic Ministry School change
by Nosferatu ini heard recently that the theocratic ministry school has been modified.
instead of giving the student's grade from the platform, it will now be done in private.
did they finally realize that telling the student that he's getting a "w" is humiliating him, or is there scriptural reasoning for this change?

There will be no more public grading from the platform after the talk is given
Does this mean that the meetings will finish 3 minutes earlier .

I dunno... do you consider me as one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
I don't know is a great excuse. No ambiguity there. You just DONT KNOW
You are not aloud to doubt. If you do, you're OUT. They want a firm Yes I am a J.W. nothing less.
Why not just lie to them. Say oh yes I do consider myself a J.W. Call it theocratic warfare like they do. :-)

Is Warning re Possible Lawsuit Required?
by Scully inthis is just a general question for anyone who might have some legal background on the matter.. if (and i expect there will be) an announcement is made to our former congregation that we are "disassociated", can i just go ahead and sue them (individual elders in the congregation) for slander and defamation of character?
the decision to make the announcement is one that has to go through the body of elders, right??.
is it necessary, when the elders come calling, to say "i will sue the shirt off your back and the bloomers off your @$$ if you make any announcement that slanders my name or defames my character to anyone"??

Scully, I don't know if we can successfully sue them. They do lots of damage to our reputations when they announce that we are DF'd and that no one can talk or associate with us. We should be aloud to sue, and WIN. Maybe one day a lawyer of the Watchtower Org, who knows everything about them, might step down, and defend us. If you want to make their lives miserable, that would be sweet revenge. Can they Disfellowship you without telling you or sending you a letter?
