Picture of Jehovah's Witnesses baptizing infants!

MiddleDimension:
The JW people claim infant baptism is wrong and that an individual cannot be baptised unless they can old enough to know what exactly they are getting into and consent to getting baptised.
Here is a proof of their official stance on infant baptism: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/wp20111001/Should-Infants-Be-Baptized/
There are many other proofs like the one in their publication ''Rrasoning From The Scriptures'', etc.

Being aware of that, you will be astonished to discover that there are in some of their publications, evidence that shows they are inconsistent with that teaching and implicitly agree that the apostles and ''first century christians'' baptised infants or those who are not old enough to consent to bebaptized.

The first of their publication which shows they are inconsistent with their teaching, is the New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures.

In acts 10:24, it says from the NWT, that: ''The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his RELATIVES AND CLOSE FRIENDS.''

Apparently, the WatchTower society agrees that the greek word ''Οικια'' means ''relatives'' which [bx]DEFINITELY[/b] include infants or toddlers, those who would be considered by the WT society as incapable of giving consent and therefore, should be excluded from baptism.

What is my evidence for this bold claim?

Here it is!

In the JW's publication ''Lessons We Can Learn From The Bible'', there is an article titled ''Cornelius Recieves The Holy Spirit''. https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-stories-lessons/14/cornelius-receives-holy-spirit/

In that article, there are children the age of which the JW ministers will not give baptism as they are not ''capable of consenting to it''.

No, according to the same acts of apostles, all those Cornelius called together, including those infants and children you see in that picture, spoke in tongues.

It says: ''While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon ALL THOSE HEARING THE WORD for they heard THEM speaking in tongues''
Acts 10: 44 - 44.

Then, Peter said: ''can anyone now stop them from being baptized, since we have seen for ourselves how they have recieved the spirit as we have...''

Then he commanded that all of those people, uncluding the children in the picture be baptized.

In conclusion:

The JWs preach that infant baptism is wrong because as they say: ''one should be able to consent to recieve baptism''. Well, the scriptures we have read even from the JW published New World Translation, shows that's not true and that children like the picture in that article shows, were also baptized since they spoke in tongues like the apostles spoke on the day of pentecost.

Any JW who still want to dispute what I have put here should ask if the WT society made a mistake putting kids in that picture.

You just want attention to be WAILING upandan about JW's.

Did your own Bible mention the names of believers who got baptism?
Yes.

Did your own Bible mention the names of an infant who was baptized?
Definitely not.

Even 12 years old Jesus preaching in the temple, his parents addressed him as "child".

You don't even know the difference between infant and children.

A.i Overview

An infant is a very young child, typically defined as a human being between birth and the first year of life, also known as a baby.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Definition: An infant is a child in the earliest period of their life, often used to describe a baby before they can walk.
Synonym: The term "infant" is a formal or specialized synonym for "baby".
Age: While definitions can vary, the term "infant" is generally applied to children under one year of age, although some sources include children up to two years old.

In a legal context, an infant is a person who has not reached the age of majority (typically 18 years

Janosky:
JW's don't baptize infants.
You are very confused.

MightySparrow:
Indoctrination is destructively powerful. The reason they live in delusion is because they mistake indoctrination for knowledge. The same reason a Muslim professor of biology or medicine to believe that embryo forms from spinal chord.

With all the inaccueracies of interpretations, the Governing Body still keep their flock intact.
Politicians should be learning from JWs' Governing Body.

But would you baptize any of the children in the picture if they came to you for baptism? Especially that small boy, if he comes to you for baptism, would you baptise him? Would his 'consent' count for anything?

WeirdAlien:
We are all guilty of thinking "ours is the best way", maybe not the only way but the superior way. Catholics think all others a wayward. Protestants think they're not distracted by unnecessary practices of the catholic, and don't do superficial Christianity like the Pentecostals. Pentecostals think being orthodox means you don't "understand the deep things of the spirit". Charismatics think all others lack spiritual connections. JWs think everyone else don't understand the Bible. All these denominations think if you have a different opinion from their teachings, you've "turned the Bible upside down". And since we can't even agree on what we believe, how would non-believers take us seriously??

The way you are thinking this people will start insulting you saying you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses as you have refused to support their antagonism against JWs.

You are on point most especially the last part of your post it makes perfect sense!

But one thing you haven't noticed in the lives of all these religionists claiming Christians: They can never ever agree on how the work Jesus assigned to his disciples should be carried out.

That's the only reason they are against JWs!

Satan knew that if people should come to their senses and think of how to do the work Jesus assigned to his disciples billions will be saved so Satan keeps on promoting EMOTIONAL ISOLATION which makes each churchgoer feels there is no need working with their fellow worshipers unlike the way Jesus established Christianity where they must all work together as ONE! John 17:22

Today the one and only group that is working together towards achieving what Jesus promised is JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES all others are just deceiving themselves.

There is a purpose for which Christianity was established and only Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling it today!

I will repeat one more time your message is more beneficial to those who have a religious organization or denomination as it were to defend and raise high above others.

None of the religious organization as they are constituted today will exist if they didn't receive a prompt and aided somewhere. Yet when they are firmly established they start behaving as if they were set up in heaven and brought down to the earth

They read in their Bible daily where Paul said he is not a party to I belong to this I belong to that knowing it will bring competition and comparison that will destroy their lives. Here we are in the 21st century.

Werey peddling brain is here peddling mumu and no get sense with lots of wailings



I will readily expose your werey peddling brains as always and why you are known as Janosky aka JaNosense the no get sense peddling brains



In context and content of this discussion has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Your werey peddling brains knows the content and context involves you and your cohorts peddling werey on Nairaland as Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jesus states in Matthew 5:20 that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven

Your werey peddling brains turn that scriptures into raising one religious organization or denomination above the other. Werey peddlings too full your brains.



Anytime you want to showcase your werey peddling brains you raise questions your werey peddling brains won't respond to when turned against you. Matthew 5: 20 already tells me you are abusing those scriptures and peddling werey from your brains.


Rather Janosky werey peddling brains peddling mumu wailings can continue your tantrums peddlings on Nairaland
