JW's can't associate w/worldly types but can take thier money???
by Agnes ini understand that jw's aren't supposed to associate with worldy types, but they can do business with them right?
just seems sort of contradictory.
"i can't associate with you but i can take your dirty money and will pretend to like you to get it".

Loss of privileges when family member is disfellowshipped
by Agnes inif a family member is disfellowshipped (for example a son or a daughter) what sort of "privileges" would a family lose?
would they still be permitted to have bible studies in their home, go out in field service and would they be marked as bad association?

Which is worse: shunning by JW or by Non-JW relatives?
by GermanXJW inyesterday, on the first christmas holiday, my family and me were invited at my father in law's house.
he has never been a jw and we had no contact but because he shunned us for being jw.
i find this as offensive as being shunned by a jw - maybe even worse because he decided personally to have no contact.

No Hospitality- for Int'l Delegates! remember?...
by upside/down ina few years ago while in south orange county, socal there was an announcement made.
they needed volunteers to open their homes to our bro's and sis' that were coming in as international delegates.
this was supposed to be a showing of solidarity to our brethren elsewhere and a showing of jw unity and brotherly love (barf).. however, hardly anyone volunteered their homes!

management stress
by littlerockguy inthis is going to sound like a sexist thread but why is it so hard for some women to come in go to their desk, do their job and leave in the evening?
i have one who cannot stay off the phone, always some drama going on disrupting others and is just an overall troublemaking bitch!
yesterday she threatened to quit and i just looked at her and didn't say anything; even though i felt like cutting loose on her and telling her what i thought of her.

Was the JW Family only looking out for their own interest................
by HEAVENS DESTINY insenerio: jw family was in the mist of being evicted from there home, they have a student that they study w/ regularly whos family is also in the mist of loosing there home (they are opposed to the jw's).
jw family convinces the studies family that the jw is all good and to prove it they can come stay with them untill they (the non-jw family) get back on there feet and no pressure on having the whole family study unless they want to, rent then will be shared among all of them for a small period of time.. now is it acceptable for a jw family to take in worldy people into there home if they are not the least bit interested in jw?
was the jw family only looking out for there best interest and used outsider to share the rent?.
