Dating non-Jehovah Witnesses

by ClassAvenger in

.

why can't jehovah witnesses date or marry people that are not jehovah witnesses?

thanks.

You should know that those who post on this disscussion board are mostly ex-JW's. You will find very few true believers in the Watchtower here. Don't be afraid of offending anyone by the types of questions you are asking, because most of them have already left the Watchtower Society or are in the process of leaving.

Most here will also agree that the JW's are a Mind Control Cult. The reasons for all the rules is spelled "CONTROL". The Watchtower Society isolates their members for better control and brainwahing. Most loyal JW's read ONLY publications printed by the Watchtower Society. When they "do research" they use only WT publications. When they have parties only "members in good standing" are invited. All others are considered "worldly" and MUST be excluded.

This isolation is one of the marks of a "cult".

Here are some links for you that will give you some information about Jehovah's Witnesses and may answer some of your personal questions about the cult.

Lost My Job Part 3

well, there's another update... .

if you missed my previous 2 posts, here's some to catch up...part one and part two.

i emailed the township trustee and i told her of my situation and that he found out from my dad that i lost my job at wal-mart and i have been trying to buy time to find another job with no avail.

Yizuman,

Have you contacted the Salvation Army yet? If not:

Ask a neighbor to make the voice call for you if you don't have any other way to contact them. Ask the neighbor to tell them that you are deaf and have no way to contact them yourself. Ask if they can send someone out to your house to speak with you in person. Have your neighbor briefly tell them that you are in need of food and are being evicted from your home because you lost your job and are very desparate to speak with someone in person. You may also want to have the neighbor give them your email address.

Or maybe your sister could make the call for you.

Getting over the "Imperfect Org" defe...

by confuzcious in

.

hey guys,.

i was wondering if you have a response when you present stuff about pedo, un, rutherford, etc, and a jw says, "well they are imperfect people.. the last respons i got was, only jesus was ever the perfect channel of god - which of course i agree.. but it's like if you ever bring up anything about anything, the stock response is, "we'll it's an imperfect organization.... your response???.

ahhahaha:"As for me, I have studied every religion on the planet and there is no doubt JW are gods people."

Yeah, I'll bet that you have ONLY studied ONE book in your search - "Mankind's Search for GOD" - and based on that ONE book you have decleared yourself an athority on the world religions. Am I right or wrong??

ahhahaha:"they are the MOST right of any organization that claims to have gods favor."

The key word here is "organization" - I have news for you! God does not have an organization! The Watchtower Society is only as man-made publishing company!

surferdude,

He HAS tried to find work - but he has other problems he needs to solve BEFORE he can get that elusive job. Please read his other two parts that he has linked in this thread for you. He is DEAF. He does not have a TDDY at home to make phone calls. He must GO to the Library to use the equipment there, BUT his car is broken - so he can't even get to the Library to make calls. He must WALK where ever he goes and is is very cold outside. He is on the computer because he can't use a phone! BUT he CAN email people.

Another thought - both the Baptist churches and the Assemblies of God churches have a "fund" set up for emergency assistance that will help pay rent for the current month, utility bills etc. Some even have a small "food shelf" within the local church itself. Look them up in the local phone book for addresses and have a friend call a few for you.

Have you tried contacting the Salvation Army in your area. They may be able to get you some food and pay for your rent to bring it up to current date. That way you would have at least a month more before your landlord could evict you. Email a friend or someone who could call the Salvation Army to explain how desparte your rent situation is. And see if they will also get your car running for you. Sometimes churches will do volenteer work like small car repairs free for those who are really in need.

Shari,
Your post just brought tears to my eyes! I remember losing my Grandma (age 94) in 1986. It still seems like yesterday. So Sorry for your loss.
