I'd like to dig up previous Watchtower articles/writings that contradict all this. I'm sure they put something out there before, which CRITICIZES other religions for doing JUST THAT: child baptisms.

I'm sure that the JWs have used 1 Cor 7:14 (children sanctified through parent's faith) before, to defend AGAINST child baptisms.

If any former JWs know if any such Watchtower writings, please post some references. I'd love to smear it in their faces and make 'em eat it.

2 Samuel, Ch 4, verses 5 through 7 clearly shows (based on the JW birthday logic), that we shouldn't take noontime siestas either!

You have a window open for him, to get an open

Very true. My wife would lay the guilt trip on my son for other things, like Scouts. The year before last, I took him up for a small plane ride for his B-day. When we were getting ready to go to the airport, she said something like "you were planning this, weren't you." With a smirk, I said, "yep," and off we went.

Since then, I've shown him some of the news broadcasts about child abuse among the JWs. I've also explained to him how lawsuits work (the basics), plus I've gotten him thinking about the Kingdom Hall finances, and why the new Kingdom Hall hasn't been built yet in our community. He quickly put 2 and 2 together and postulated that maybe all those lawsuits were to blame! He's just 11, but he seems to be 'getting it.' Thankfully, our extended families are not JW, and I've never been one myself.

Just be your boy's best bud, unconditionally. After a while, he'll see the difference between you and mommy. He might start asking, "how come mommy is like this, or that." No need to attack her personally, but you can attack the cult, and with some research, he should eventually 'get it.'

Thanks Secret Slave...you hit the nail on the head, with your well-qualified outlook. IMO.

Any attempt by me, to convey that same level of reasoning, would've likely ended up in a half-drunken rant. Thank you, sir. Hua!

My previous pissing contests with some of you aside, this might be effective, for the 8/8 campaign. If not already brought up:

• an 8/8 website, with easy access to all the forms/templates mentioned above.

* have 'promotional' flyers and wallet sized business cards which can be printed out, and anonymously left in the KH, assembly hall, or convention hall restrooms, or on seat-backs, or car windshields. Keep 'em simple, and include the slogan "8/8...don't hesitate," or something catchy & easy to remember.

* put web address on these flyers.

Note: I'm not a witness, but do have family in. So, I'm just as motivated as many of you. Out.

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick

by sir82 in

jw

heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.

apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.

so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

Potty mouth here again. Anyway, a previous thread had mentioned a target of AT LEAST $65,000 in 'damages' to be awarded to INDIVIDUAL abuse victims in Australia, per the Royal Commish. The cumulative amount would be staggering, one would think. Now throw in the possibility that the UK is following suit, Warwick's waste dump issues, and everything else going on, publicity & lawsuit-wise, has my 'holy-sh!t-ometer' hitting the redline like crazy!!!

VA shooting suspect was raised a JW! He mentions it on his Twitter account

by WingCommander in

friends

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

Australians don't drink Fosters

To be fair, they did more-so back in the 1970s and early 80s. Also...despite its being mass-produced nowadays, it's not American, rather its under a South African corporation. Heineken has a stake in it too.

But yeah, it is pretty much a cheap beer for the masses, or for dumb Okies like myself.
