and i dont really remember the real reason why.. thinking about it seems to bring up the idea that i only got baptised because of the way everyone treats you when they find out you are getting dunked - and not specifically to serve jehovah.. baptism day comes and you sit there and listen to the talk.

then you go out and get your swimming duds on and line up at the "whatever it is they decide to dunk you in".

They should use the example of jesus......he didnt get baptised till he was in his 30's?

Getting baptised then, was a mistake for me.

so, was it because it was the going thing at that time - was it because of the way others made you feel - or because it was about time you went under?

return after being inactive

what usually happens to inactive witnesses when they try to make a return?

i have an associate who is and wants to return, what shall i tell him?

fairy

This is my guess as to what happens....

they probably welcome you and say how happy they are to see you and they would carry on that way for a few months and then after about a year you would be thinking "what on earth am i doing here"

Hidden Images in the JW Publications

by Hunyadi in

i am a disfellowshipped brother and have never had a problem with the organization's doctrines.

i am, however, deeply disturbed at the undeniable use of hidden or subliminal images in the illustrations of the wt publications.

there are so many that it cannot be interpreted as anything other than a deliberate pattern.

fairy

If you look at the picture of jesus healing the man with the crutch under his arm, you will notice a piece of rag tied at the bottom of the crutch, did anyone notice that it looked like a koala? well to me it does.......and what does that have to do with anything-----hell, i dont know!

Moses

i would be interested to see what witnesses think they would get through "armageddon" if they think about the episode in the bible of how moses didnt get through to the promised land because he said "i will give you water" and didnt mention god.

that seems to be probably a slight wrongdoing and he didnt get through......what about the witnesses now who do worse and think they will get through

Perth assembly - AUSTRALIA

by fairy in

well, my sister in law and me (she's a witness) planned to go to a concert just after the assembly finishes on the 14 dec. so we are staying at the casino in a very very nice room.

the witnesses are having an assembly right next door to the casino and we had to walk nearby to get to our accommodation.

as we were passing them all sitting on the lawn with their kids or on their own, i was so glad to be free from all that and not have to go anymore.

wish i had thought of that
