I told my mom I didn't believe my baptism was valid and she agrees
by noni1974 ini think that because i never made a formal prayer like they say your supposed to before getting baptized.
i never said yes to the questions they asked at the convention before i got dipped.
i just went through the motions.

Is water baptism required to get your sins forgive by the JW society?
by evangelist 1 ini know many catholics and other religion say and make water baptism a requiremenet to get saved and get your sins forgiven, but how does the society see water baptism?.
do they also baptized in three name or just only in jehovah name when baptizing a jw?.
is only the elders allowed to get baptized or anybody can get wet?.

Not to be morbid but are you waiting for someone to die?
by Mad Sweeney inthe only reason i have not da'd is because my mom asked me not to.
i fully expect her funeral to be the last time i set foot in a kingdom hall (assuming i can't manage to convince enough of the family to do a secular funeral).
i will thereafter become an active and aggressive member of the "vast apostate army.".

Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs
by Mad Sweeney inthe watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.
they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.
" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

"By this ALL will know that you are my disciples..."
by Mad Sweeney in"...if you have love among yourselves.
" john 13:35. question: is there any religion out there of which all people in the world looks at and says, "wow, that religion clearly follows jesus because of the love they have among themselves?".
the jws claim this distinction for themselves, but what part of "all will know" is unambiguous?

What happened to the "great crowd" ???
by 1914BS ini noticed the complete abscence of any reference to the great crowd in recent watchtower magazines.. the latest jan 15 2010 wt now calls the "other sheep" rank and file witnesses the ......"growing crowd" i think you'll find that on the last page of that wt.
has the interpretation of the "great crowd" changed again?
it seems the anointed class has now stolen both the titles "generation" and "great crowd" any thoughts on this?.
