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?.

Tough day -- my mom died today
by cruzanheart inpoor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.

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!

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.

They say they don't celebrate Xmas, but...???
by JH inevery year, on dec 25th, witnesses in our area gather at a book study group, and they have a dinner together.
although they say that they don't celebrate christmas, why do they gather on dec 25th like catholics do and share dinner together?
i'm sure that neighbors think that it's a christmas gathering.. i know that there isn't any christmas decorations there, or gifts being given, but i find it odd, that every year, some book study will organize a dinner on december 25th.

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".
