If Children grow up in the Truth but never get Baptized, why no shunning?
by NotaNess in
1. jw
2. friends
i kind of understand the "never made the real commitment" part, but isn't learning the "truth" for 15 to 20 years, and going out into the "world" as opposed to committing,... the same as choosing to not accept jehover's (aka wts) ways and be with the brothers and sisters in union?.

why is the shunning treated different?

is it because, there's always hope by the parents, that they will come around?, etc.. .

Watch "Dateline" on Tueday, May 28th!!
by Anne Marie in
1. social
2. current
i think that it is very important that the word goes out to everyone who can hear that "dateline" is doing a report on the problem of child molestation in the organization, and how it's been routinely covered up.. there will be former and currant members interviewed, and they even show an "awake!

" article!.

check "dateline's" web site for further details.. this is important since we all know that nothing we say holds any water with the jws..and they're not "allowed" to view our web sites...but what can they say about national television?!!.

1. jw
2. experiences
wow... i feel guilty about even being here, let alone posting my story.

but here goes.... it was back in the late 60's that my dad (actually stepdad who adopted me and my older sister when he married our mother) got witnessed to by a guy that he worked with.

he was invited to our house for dinner along with his wife and that was the beginning of my new life.
