No judicial action, even with 2+ witnesses
by cyberguy inthis is a paragraph from
http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1995/11/1a/article_01.htm
if the accusation is denied, the elders should explain to the accuser that nothing more can be done in a judicial way.

Question... Do JWs shun Family?
by Sassy ini had a disagreement with xq in chat today, because he was trying to say that jws for the most part disobey the wts and still treat family like family even if they are dfd or quit being witnesses.. i don't feel that is true.
i think that the majority of us on here who no longer are jws have family members who no longer have anything to do with us and shun us.... so i said it would be interesting to take a poll and see how many here are treated just like all the rest of your 'loving family' who is a jw still.......are you treated the same?.
does family shun you for being df'd, da'd or no longer participating?or do they hide and talk to you but only when other active jws can't see?

Did You Do a Marriage Ceremony for Non JWs?
by Undecided ini just remembered a marriage i did for the daughter of a jw and the son of the president of danriver mills, a textile company who wasn't a jw.
that was in the early sixties, i can't remember the details, but it wasn't in a church.
i haven't seen them since.. i have performed several marriage ceremonies years ago.

do you believe only the jw's will be saved? from official wtbs website.
by candidlynuts indo you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?
many millions who have lived in centuries past and who were not jehovah's witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life.
many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before god's time of judgment, and they will gain salvation.
