Cult of the Publishing Corporation: Jehovah's Witnesses Child Baptism

Jehovah's Witness children are pressured from a very young age to get baptized. Baptism in this organization is a lifetime commitment to peddle Watchtower Bible & Tract Society publications for the rest of your life.

At 2:42 you can hear a JW telling me about a JW child who had been coerced into baptism at the age of 6.

If a child should break this commitment, the child will be marked and cruelly shunned by all friends and family.

Please feel free to comment.

happily there are always a number that get pregnant, turn to drugs and contract aids. Such a better decision than deciding to try and serve god wouldn't you say.

Apostates are funny.

[PublishingCult]

@sunshineuk1965, that is a false arguement.

There are plenty of JW kids who turn to drugs, get pregnant and contract aids.

There are plenty of nonJW kids who don't have those problems. All three of my children are happy, productive, disease and drug-free.

Being in the cult would have most likely driven them to drugs.

You're funny.

@PublishingCult why would you make up a lie like that like we dont have christian people on drugs and having sex with there members ?

[PublishingCult]

@jesussavior1364 . . . I did not say that. READ with COMPREHENSION and UNDERSTANDING the fucking words I wrote as if ENGLISH is your first language.

2.57 - 3,00 "But uh They make you answer like 125 questions or so."

It used to be 80 questions. That is cultic publishing organization inflation for you.

Perhaps the Watchtower Bible && Track Society had some "new light". And they reconfigured to a new number. Reuben died at 125 years of age, so that may be the "bible-based" reason behind it.

Catholics have whats called 'the age of reason' 7, when one is sentient && aware. JWs have changed, unofficial past limit was ~14. Boost up numbers.

[PublishingCult]

@JekuJekah, the JW did not actually say "coerced". I was being sarcastic, and as you know, there is no other way a child can be lead to to commit to such a lifetime commitment unless they are coerced.

[jesussavior1364]

@PublishingCult your comment is senseless

@sunshineuk1965 cont. in a comment in a video she was cursing up a storm with F this F that. I remember one time I was at a meeting and the number 69 was mentioned (don't remember why) and these two JWs teenage boys looked at each other and snickered. You really think JWs teens are little angels who don't do anything wrong. Wake up and most of the time it's not that they want to serve your God, but they feel pressure to.

[jojoneli76]

@sunshineuk1965 What a load of bullshit. This shows exactly the sanctimonious attitude many JWs have. I have news for you many JWs young people live double lives and are having sex, cursing, drugs, etc and NO they are not serving God but they are slaves to the Watchtower Society. I just got into a little argument with a JWs young lady on Youtube. She was saying how they have the truth and actually teach the bible. I checked out her youtube account and in a comment....

[YhwhKhaiMostHigh]

Either these kids are not excited about getting baptized or nervous. I can't stand cults that use intimidation and threats to get members to obey. In JW organization one of the biggest threats is disfellowshipping. I've read & heard exJWs stories & it's disheartening. How do you tell folks not to associate w/ their own family because they are disfellowshipped? I can see them advising you to keep your distance from certain family members if they were into something illegal, but this is crazy!

@JulianC123321, the fact that locations mentioned in the Bible are being found isn't evidence of its supernatural claims, or that the book was authored by a god. I could write a book mentioning the events of 9/11, but erroneously attribute the collapse of the WTC buildings to the finger of a firebreathing flying camel. You could prove that the WTC and NY City did actually exist, but you could never prove the building fell by supernatural causes.  The OT is a fictitious account of the Jews.

[PublishingCult]

@JulianC123321, in this world there are good people who do good things, and bad people who do evil things, but for good people to do evil things? Now, that takes religion and the Bible. You might not believe winged fire-breathing camels exist, but I assure you they do! See how that bullshit works? If God exists, then why does the feckless thug need corrupt lying coercive men to write books for him, interpret those books conflictingly and confusingly, and speak FOR him?

@billcary30 I think it's because her knees came out of the water - your whole body needs to be immersed at once for it to be an acceptable baptism.

[naimamusique]

@sunshineuk1965 Euh! Forcing young people to do right with the use of fear of disfellowship is not a good technique!
