Marrying a non-believer?
by sparky79 ini am currently dating a jehovas-witness, and have been for a while.
we have talked about marriage, but a lot of what i hear and read is that for her to marry a non-believer is frowned upon by others in the religion.
i am a non-believer of any religion.

nightmares
by in a new york bethel minute ini grew up having nightmares about armageddon, satan and, most of all jehovah.
i am 25 now and i still get nightmares, and they're always about these same things.
i was wondering if my brain is overactive, or if other people on this site get nightmares about things they learned as a witness.

Does anyone see a problem with this?
by ball. in3 quotes about masterbation, blood and birthdays:
true, the words "masturbation" and "self-abuse" are not in the bible.
the mosaic law speaks of "emission of semen," but as bible commentators point out, the reference is to involuntary nocturnal emissions, not self-induced ejaculations.

Scriptural Support Fo Disfellowshipping?
by sandy indo the witnesses teach that god doesn't here a disfellowshipped person's prayers?
if so what scriptures do they use to support such an idea?.
is there any scriptures in the 4 gospels, matthew, mark luke or john, that the witnesses use to support disfellowshipping and shunning?
