number of anointed
by ssn587 indont know if i or anyone else has asked this before, but does anyone know how many annointed were supposedly at the last memorial, it seems to be the hidden #.

Invalid Baptism
by dssynergy innew to the board, first post.
just curious if anyone has ever tried to leave because of an invalid baptism.
if a person felt their baptism was invalid because they did it under pressure, and did not really devote themselves to jehovah, and would not now be baptized if given the chance ~ would they still be disfellowshipped or disassociated??

Public Defamation = DF'd ???
by Lillith26 inthis is probably too simple and perhaps to good to be true but the wtbts practice of officially announcing a person by name at a meeting to be "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses", combined with the wtb literature that clearly states how to 'treat' such named person is a clear act of public defamation of the named person... an act that one would maybe have legal grounds on which to take out a lawsuit???.
i suspect this is an angle that may have been over looked from a legal perspective.... it's just a thought.... do we have any lawyers in the house???.

my question has to do with confession.
the way i read the literature, it is a suggested practice ~ not a command.
