What's Your Opinion: Is Legal Marriage Important?
by GoddessRachel in
1. social
2. family
hey everyone,.

so i've been thinking about marriage a lot lately, with same-sex marriages being approved in some states, banned in others, and flip-flopped in still others (see: california).. i recently read an article in my local newspaper about how marriage is a personal and religious union that has no business being in any of our laws, and that the laws should instead be for a legal domestic relationship, to establish and recognize legal families, and that marriage should be altogether separate from that.

i really agreed with all that was said in the article.. i want to get married.

2. beliefs
this was my post on another thread but it needed it's own thread so as not to topic/thread steal.

someone (voideater, i think...) made this comment on another thread, facetiously:armageddon has arrived!

but...invisibly.... this was my reaction to it, and i'm curious what people think.

How Would a JW Answer This Question? Opinions, Please.
by GoddessRachel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was thinking to myself this morning and came up with this question:.

if jehovah god is so merciful, why would he punish his people because of apostates?.

my thought process was that the end hasn't come because it is some kind of a test to see how faithful his people can be.

Allow Me to Introduce Myself
by GoddessRachel in
1. jw
2. experiences
hello.. my parents converted to jehovah's witnesses when they were pretty much newlyweds and raised their children as such.

i was 100% in it until a series of events happened to me as a young adult that ultimately led to my deciding it's simply not worth it.

i haven't had a relationship that could pass for normal with my jw family ever since.
