  Why can JW's attend funerals or weddings in a church?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. jw

  what is the reasoning/policy behind the practice that a jw can't attend an event such as funeral or wedding in another church?

  i know of someone that didn't attend her older sisters funeral because it was held in a baptist church.

  she waited outside until the service was over and then went to the family dinner afterwards.

  Suicide note from pedophile elder's victim..

  2. experiences

  years ago at the kh my aunt attended, there was an elder from a prominent jw family who was accused of sexual conduct with several young men in the hall.

  he was an unmarried guy in his 30's who wore a terrible hair piece/toupee.

  his sister once told me he was waiting for the new system to marry so he could have a perfect wife--isn't that funny?.

  Apostacy the same as blasphemy?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was growing up, the worst thing a jw could do was be 'blasphemous against the holy spirit'.

  that was certain to be instant death in the eyes of the wt.

  now, as i understand it, apostacy is the worst thing you can do.

  Bovine blood in lieu of human blood? What's the story with this?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  my mom is in the hospital with internal bleeding.

  she has agreed, much to my surprise, to accept the blood alternative of bovine blood.

  i've never heard of it but it appears that the jw hospital liason elders told her about it and that it was a conscious matter.

  What if you could just walk away? No DF'ing or Shunning?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i could tell my mom and other family jw's that i wasn't going back, didn't believe it and wanted to move on with my life without worrying about being df'd or shunned, i'd do it in a heartbeat.. but, that is not the case.

  wonder how many the wtbs would lose if they changed their policy on this?

  how many of you would have left sooner if there were 'no strings attached' to the wt?.
