someone in our community died and i asked the people that study with me if they were going to go.. they said no and quoted a scripture about jesus saying "let the dead bury the dead".
so i took this to mean anyone who is not a witness is considered "dead".
however they said they would attend the tea after the funeral service.. this didnt make any sense to me, why would they eat their food but not pay their respects at the funeral?

we all know the story of adam and eve - god forbids fruit, man and women eat fruit.. what is the real moral of this story?
tradition teaches that man is sinful by nature and must be punished.. i was thinking the moral could also be this "that which is forbidden, is made desirable.".
i don't know if that is sin, when you tell someone they can't have something, it almost naturally makes us at least curious as to why that is.
the moral

i'm now going for bunny counselling.
excellent
to the ruddy cleaners then?.
that i have been extraordinarily patient over the past few years, the last four years especially.
the thing that still gets to me is this.
I would like to know when the catholic church was found out for molesting children there was a great outcry and all the news stations carried the story.No one seems to know much about the problem within the jehovahs witnesses.
I think we should ask television stations and newspapers to investigate more and broadcast what they know.
We all know the problem but the average JW thinks we are lying
I would like the world to know what we know and I would especially like the JWs in every kingdom hall to know the real TRUTH
i haven't yet seen the movie the passion of christ but understand that it is a powerful movie for those who are believers.
i haven't been a jw for many years but wondered what the organizations position is on the bros seeing this movie.
does anyone have any insight on this?
I was told at my last bible study going to see it was a not a good idea
because we wouldnt gain anything by seeing it as it would not be accurate.
so says the local Jdubs here
whats been yours?
be honest.. i know mines always been trying to reconcile being gay and being jw.
as i was growing up it was like being in the middle of 2 polar opposites both tugging at me day in day out, sometimes trying to understand one whilst ignoring the other and vice versa.
Quitting smoking i have quit hundreds of times
i will be marrying a df jw in just 2 months.
it is now really bothering him that his parents won't come to the wedding.
omg- not only is he df, but it's being held in a church!!!
Congrats on your up and coming wedding
You will certainly have your eyes opened marrying into a witness family
Good Luck dealing with the family
