My Baptism into Jehovah's Witness Org was Null!
Why was my baptism into this cult void. Simple. Because a person is supposed to be informed concerning the policies of an organization before he decides to join. It is called informed consent, and I was never provided with the right to exercise informed consent. Instead, I was deprived of very essential information. What information? Well, I was deprived of the knowledge that this organization had judicial committees to judge cases of wrongdoing, and practiced what they call disfellowshipping and shunning.
Now, to me, that sudden revelation was a very profound shock since I thought that my dedication was supposed to have been an agreement between me and my heavenly Father, and that I was beholden, or morally responsible, only to him. Such a relationship with God had provided me with a sense of profound peace and joy.
In short, I never agreed to be a member of an organization that practiced shunning since I was not informed until after baptism. So that very effectively makes my membership into their cruel cult totally null.
Even more disturbing, is the fact that their member, who had given me Bible studies for more than a year, this self-righteous dude named Samuel Coleman, member of the Forster Congregation located in Manhattan NYC circa 1966, who was supposed to have informed me about the organizational policies, took profound sadistic pleasure in telling me a full three weeks after I was baptized.
I will always remember how he stood next to me at a local store located across the street from their Kingdom Hall where they were purchasing beer after the meeting, smirking and enjoying the psychological shock that such a sudden and totally unexpected revelation was causing me.
It seemed he felt that I had deserved to be submitted to that horrible shock which he had been cunningly planning all along. After all, he could have easily informed me during our extensive conversations both before during or after he gave me Bible studies. Or else, he could have informed me during congregation meetings or during the frequent times that we had gone preaching from house to house. Yet, he had kept his mouth very cunningly shut.
In hind sight, I should have flattened him for setting me up in that extremely nasty way. As for my ever being officially a member of this nasty cult? Nahhhhh! I don't think so.
