  1985 and baptism...I wish I had read this before today

  by enoughisenough in

  i am posting a link as to being legally bound to jw rules at time of baptism.

  i only did a quick skim, but what i gathered is interesting, and what it says about 1985 may be of use to some hoping to just fade and not be bothered.

  in 1985, the questions were changed at baptism for legal purposes so they could have causation to defend themselves should you decide to sue for whatever reason.

  Even if some commitment from a child, such as religious baptism, is nonbinding to the child, it may eventually become binding if that child willingly & knowingly carries on with that commitment into adulthood.

  Generally, for an underage person to nullify out of a commitment, that person must seek release while still under the minimum age of legal consent.

  This is another reason why JW parents and guardians grooming children into an underaged baptismal commitment to WT corp is an appalling loophole of society.

  Even if this is explained to a child, children cannot fully comprehend the potential future ramifications of JW baptism.

  WT is nonetheless overjoyed to exploit young children for the sake of membership and "salvation", despite there being no clear evidence of child baptism practices recorded in the bible.

  we know what mentally-in jws believe they are doing when they "love one another"... and many of us here formerly participated in that culty love bombing behavior.. why?.

  Could demonstrations of JW "love" be based upon a selfish psychology?

  • Look at us, Jesus said "by this all will know that you are my disciples - if you have love among yourselves."

  • So, if we act loving, this proves we have the one true religion.

  • Love bombing others will help "make disciples" just as Jesus said of the one true faith.

  • Therefore, this combination of "love" & "witnessing" will eventually reward me with everlasting life & material prosperity in paradise, just like Jesus promised.

  = Selfish ulterior motivations?

  A Prayer for the Stressed

  a prayer for the stressed .

  grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those i had to kill today because they got on my nerves.. and also, help me to be careful of the toes i step on today, as they may be connected to the feet i may have to kiss tomorrow.. help me always to give 100% at work... 12% on monday, 23% on tuesday, 40% on wednesday, 20% on thursday and 5% on friday.

  and help me to remember...... when i'm having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile, and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth!.

  lol

  Is confessing murder in prayer protected privileged communication? Or will heaven thereafter make arrangements to expose the crime?

  Maybe fisherman can enlighten us.

  Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

  here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

  it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

  Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?

  by Fisherman in

  “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..

  Ridiculous, yes, but also so very convenient when that single scripture enables a massive power grab over millions of followers.
