Do JW Parents intentionally extort their children with baptizm?
by Elsewhere injw parents will do just about anything to get their kids to be baptized as jws.
do they do this with the full knowledge that they will have to shun their children if they leave the organization?
is this a tactic that parents use to trap their children in the cult, basically using baptism as an form of insurance or guarantee that their kids will stay in the cult?.

Baptize 'em young, keep 'em outta Sports - My notes from the last assembly
by jgnat ini had heard of accounts of young baptisms, but i figured it was the exception rather than the rule.
now i wonder, after viewing the models of youth paraded at the last assembly.
i took note of the ages and age of baptism of the five young men (no girls this time) who were interviewed as models of jw youth at this last week's assembly.

A Little Help Here -- Heard Something at Work Today about JWs
by Gretchen956 inour union rep at work said she was very sure that jws were not allowed to belong to unions.
actually i don't belong, but she'd really like to get me to join (i am not anti-union, i'm just ambivelent)... anyways, i have been out for 13 years, but i do not remember this being the case, nor do i really remember it being a topic here (please don't post a link, i'd rather just hear the answer!).
anyone know whether this is just an urban legend or if it is truly the case?

Watchtower Jan,15 2006.??????
by integ infrom watchtower jan 15 2006.
" another fine example for our youths is that of 4 year old "jessica", who wrote to the society to express appreciation for the faithful slaves' counsel regarding what to do if one is tempted to read any of the "poison" of apostate literature; "i am writing to you dear brothers to express my sincere, heartfelt appreciation to those of you entrusted with the administration of carrying out our master jesus' spiritual directive to supply us with our 'food at the proper time'.
as a young one, it is sometimes difficult to resist the great deceiver: satans' crafty acts.

1 John 4:1
by mjl inwent to the meeting this morning and stayed for the talk.
the speaker used a text that i thought was very ironic, 1 john 4:1 which reads " beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they origanate with god, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
" i found this ironic becuase we were trained not to test anything in the publications and never question what we hear from the platform.
