  by rose petal in

  2. beliefs

  hi, i have done a search on previous posts, and couldn't find anything since 2002. is there any scriptural evidence for baptising children early?

  how do the dub's justify this?.

  my son takes his 7yo & 4yo to the meetings, against my daughter in law's wishes.

  "Is it the high cost of living or the cost of living high?" from the CO

  by restrangled in

  my mom at 73 is full time pioneering and complaining that many days a week the young couples never show up.

  she describes them as having new cars, big houses, and having to both work to maintain their lifestyles.. she mentioned the above statement from the latest co to the congregation.. oh really......!.

  i said to her, well none of these people were allowed to get college educations and they are probably earning 10.00 an hour max which goes nowhere.

  Important! My mother before Elders re marriage problems with Elder husband

  by Guest with Questions in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  if anyone can help me understand what goes on in the mind of elders?

  is there a buddy mentality to protect each other and the flock and sacrifice those who make waves?

  ive gathered coming here that may be true.. the reason im asking is because my mother has found herself in a very difficult situation and im really worried for her.

  Why was I so blind?

  by James Free in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that i can see right through the crap that is the jw religion, i sometimes ask myself - how come you blindly believed all that rubbish for 30 years??!!

  i am so annoyed with myself for that - i have a degree, yet i was totally duped for such a large part of my life.

  and now that i can see how so full of holes it all is, i kick myself for not seeing it before.
