  i haven't posted here in such a long time!

  most of you probably don't remember the details to my situation....in a nutshell, my son married into the jw cult, there is a grandchild involved and at the very least i want to always maintain a good relationship with my son, daughter in law, and grandchild.

  this was my main concern from the beginning.

  i haven't been around in awhile, so apologies if this topic has been brought up recently.. my daughter (not a jw) had an interesting discussion today with her brother (who is a jw).

  she was on the computer and was confused because her sister in laws my space account was no longer there.

  she goes to check her brothers account; it too is gone.

  "Legally binding" baptism?

  by Riverwatcher in

  i've done a bit of reading, and now find that i have a question about baptism.. recently, a poster wrote something about j/w baptism being legally binding.

  when i read this, i took it in the literal sense; that somehow if one were baptised, and at a later date chose to walk away, or d/a themselves, that the org could somehow "come after" them.

  my question is...does this ever really happen?

  Baptism, in regard to leaving the J/W...

  by Riverwatcher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this time, i've got a question about baptism and how being baptized, or not, affects a person who gets df'd from the j/w's.

  from the reading i've done on this board, the question of whether or not a person has been baptised seems to come up fairly often.

  since i don't really have a terribly clear understanding of j/w doctrine yet (will i ever???

  i'm so happy to have found this site.

  i'm not a j/w, but my son is.

  several years ago, he became involved with a j/w, although she was being shunned at the time.
