Witnesses having children
by JH ini remember when i started mingling with the jw's in the mid 80's, they said that it was too late in this system to have children.
the great tribulation just around the corner made it a bad idea to have children, they said.. today with just about "zero increase" having children is a way of ensuring future witnesses.
i didn't set foot in a kh in 2 years, but if i remember well, the only new faces i saw were children that became adults.. i wonder if they still discourage witnesses from having children...or do they see it as something good now, since not many are joining?

What are some Bible verses that contradict (or weaken) the DF policy?
by somebodylovesme in.. let me say straight off that i am not that familiar with the bible (my husband is an inactive jw.. i never was in the religion).
but i thought i read once a bible story in which jesus went to visit someone who was seen as an immoral person, and said that they needed him the most?
are there any other verses/stories that carry this theme and would weaken the jw's policy of disfellowshipping?.

Any ex-JWs from Tennesee? I met a JW whose family might use this board...
by somebodylovesme inlet's see if i can explain this a little better.
i actually went to meeting two weeks ago (husband is an inactive dub, and we went to oblige his family while we were home visiting on a school break) -- the brother giving the talk is brand new to the area.
he is from tennesse, although i'm not sure where.

JWs do NOT try to be separate from the world - AND a rant on "government"..
by somebodylovesme inif jws are trying to be separate from the world, then why do they do a lot of wordly things?
why do they watch tv?
isn't that "worldly" influence?

Is STUDYING political science a disfellowshipping offense?
by somebodylovesme inmy inactive husband and i are weighing the pros and cons of eventually moving back to his hometown, where his witness family is.
we love his family... they are the best people i have ever known, despite being jws.
my husband was raised a witness, was baptised at the age of 11 (which is ridiculous in my opinion), and starting distancing himself when he turned 18. he has been completely inactive for about a year and a half, married me (a worldly girl, ooooh) and is now in grad school for political science.
