Huge shock!
by Crumpet ini just got a major shock.
i can't believe the new levels of cruelty possible within families who are jws.. a friend on this board who i've known since i was a baby practically has managed to get me a picture of my little sister who i haven't seen for 8 years - the one who i've mentioned my dad said was working on the bethel quick build team.
the one who i've described my fears that she and my younger sister are staying single until armageddon.

Being engaged is the same as being married!
by Bonnie_Clyde inmy brother was engaged to a rather nice girl in our congregation back in the early sixties.
during the engagement they decided that they wanted to call off the wedding.
the same elder who counselled me not to go to college told them that they could not break their engagement as, "being engaged is the same as being married.

Birthday celebrations and customs - Are they for Christians?
by AlmostAtheist ini sent my birthday document (http://thebentinel.com/jw-birthdays.html) to a poster here that is at the very least a jw-sympathizer, if not a full-blown jw.
the response i got back indicated that my reasoning on it was seriously flawed and essentially any idiot with a passing knowledge of scripture and history can tell that birthdays are not something christians should celebrate.. of course, if you're not a bible-believer or a god-believer, you couldn't care less about pagan origins and all that.
but let's keep this conversation on the 'appropriate for christians' vein.

I want to see your children, but shun you!
by free2beme ini have relatives in the jehovah's witness religion still, and in-laws.
because my spouse and me were never officially disfellowshipped, they have a hard time with how to shun us.
basically, they don't.

Does a person know if he has been saved?
by Honesty inback in the days (sometime around 2003) a co informed our congregation that many publishers were being asked by householders if they 'are saved' and he told us to say, "i am in a saved 'condition'".
we can only be sure we are saved when armageddon has passed and we are still alive on earth.
i thought the whole thing was bizzare because from what i had read in the bible the early christians knew they were saved but here was a representative of the watchtower corporation telling publishers to say we were in a saved 'condition'.
