    Hi Richi, glad your back from behind enemy lines!

    Regarding the baptism, I can't see what all the fuss is about.

    Jesus (a PERFECT human) gave us plenty of examples to follow:

    How to pray, How to gain Gods appoval - through Love, Wine was faivorable to water at parties, And getting baptised at 7, ...

    Edited to add: Sorry I meant 17

    Edited to add: Opps again, I've just been told he was mature enough at 27.

    Editied once agian: - Looks like he was in his Thirties.

    I guess if your gonna make a commitment that will kill you if you change you mind,(even if you're perfect) you'd better make sure you know what your doing.

    Thats sick - exactly how can a 7 year old meet their own critreia - they might as well start baptising babies!

    Perhaps there should be a federal law passed stating that you can't become a JW till you are 18 and have it posted a on or near the baptismal pool. Also have it say: BECOMING BE COMING A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

    Just wanted to chime in Richie and say how much I admire what you did!

    I'm putting Silent Lambs posters around this week because the district convention is coming up soon. If I could stomach going to it, I'd do the checks.

    One question...Did your mom know the attendant that came to her seat? If not, I think the check story might be a ruse (sp). With all the new fangled security camera contraptions, who knows who Big Brother sees?

    lol @ everyone. Thanks for the love kids.

    Yeah- I made sure I authenticated the check story. I dug through her checkbook and found the carbon copy. It did say Jehovah's witnesses.

    As far as the talks went, I think they are fairly the same, worldwide. There were lots of solliliqouys and interviews with stuck up little kids. They really emphasized NO REGRETS. Even in the drama.

    I hated what they chose for the drama. to a certain point, me and Timothy are in the same boat. My father is a unbeliever, and my mother and grandmother are in the truth. Mom thinks I should stop planning on going to college and pioneer or go to bethel. I told her no. She got mad, and fussed for upwards of an hour about it.

    I told her, if I don't get an education, and have to work 80 hours a week to suppourt my family, how is that going to help my spirituallity? She semi-agreed.

    She said, but the end is right around the corner. I asked her why they were reinforcing the ressurection hope so much.... Because most everyone is going to die in this system.

    (this is how i must reason with her... keep the false hope in her that I am going to stay in the truth.)

    On Saturday night, I had an interesting talk with a friend of mine about how, if everything was a vegetarian before the flood, then why are there fossils of obviously carnivorous dinosaurs that are dated to pre-flood. Beleive it or not, he came to me with the question.... So i responded by saying that that was a question I would like to see answered too. I then reminded him about Abel raising sheep before the flood... (thanks runningman)

    I am interested to see where all this ends up.

    Also wanted to mention how they did a solilliqouy (sp?) of a guy who wanted to buy an 81000 dollar sprots car, but then talked himself into pioneering. He just jumped from one to the other- I think thats how most dubs make decisions, instantly. Maybe thats why a 7 year old got baptized....

    Richie, well, you B R A V E little sh*t, you!

    My son is 7, the kid hardly knows how to tie his shoes and wipe his little behind. To allow him to make such a serious decision with hurtful repercussions at this age, his parents ought to be shot.

    Welcome back, agent Cody Banks. Thanks for all the great undercover work. We reallly appreciate it.
