over a 100 years ago there lived a poor mexican pedro.
one day his son left the the barn door open, his only horse {his chief sourse of income} got out.
everyone said "poor pedro you are in big trouble now!
Still think it's a good story!

Bone yard day!
trying to make sense of it all?-----------------try this.. that we all been here many times to experenice all aspects of life.. we have been male an female.. we have been or will be most races on the planet.. we have been or will be a members of most religions on this planet!.
we have been judges, soldiers, harlots, pleasants and some have been kings.we have been the prisoners and we have been the guards, we have killed, we have been killed.. oh yes!
we have been zealots too.. there is no!!!
Just digging some out of my bone yard to make my "1,000" posts

God I hate this bull shit.
I was in the same cong as Paul Dural (now dead) He started "Service Organizers"....He has turned that into a large buisness with 6 plus employees making $100,000s a year.
How Ironic he would make $90 bucks for selling one bible, I made $.90 cents a day for making them at Bethel.
they brag about the fact that they the don' t baptize their babies because "how can a baby 'know' what religion it wants to believe in the rest of it's life!".
but a 14 year old does?.....they put so much presure on their children to get dunked, that if your not baptize by 18 years old there is something really "wrong" with you.. so the poor kid does it, just to get everyone off their backs.
legally a minor can't be held to a contract if they are under 18 years old and why?
Thank you for the great comments
I really like congac's statment about not knowing what disfollewshiping even was at 12...
What if they handed everyone a piece of paper before baptizm stating all the things that could happen to them if they ever left...that would be full disclosure!

What a good point...they would never what you to get married at 18!....They would figure you were just "in love"....and not thinking correctly...The funny thing is, It's a lot easier to get out of a marriage then leave them.
I was 17 and one of the last ones of my group to get dunked....I wanted to be sure...what a joke!

So the poor kid does it, just to get everyone off their backs. Legally a minor can't be held to a contract if they are under 18 years old and why? Because the government knows that most minors don't know what the hell their doing when it comes to serious agreements.
So now he is twenty and doesn't what to be a JoHo anymore....He leaves and now he is screwed...can't talk to anyone, no more family...They punish him for making the wrong decision, on what religion to be in. What bull shit...
How old were you when you got baptized?
