  JWs and weddings

  by YellowLab in

  2. beliefs

  does the watchtower frown upon jws and wedding parties and receptions?.

  my reason for asking is my jw brother is having a small wedding at a local restaurant in july.

  he is not having a bridal party, no flowers, no reception, and no children allowed.

  Man kills seven, himself at church service -- beliefs identical to WTS

  by YellowLab in

  2. beliefs

  back on march 12th, a 44-year old man in wisconsin walked into a church service and shot & killed seven members, including himself.

  the story had made national news.

  the article below from the milwaukee journal/sentinel specifically talks about the church he was involved in, namely the worldwide church of god.. my reason for posting this article is this church's striking resemblance to the wts teachings.

  just a little background, my cousin is 38 and hasn't attended meetings for nearly 20 years.

  then, a week later, another elder and the circuit overseer came knocking for the same reason, so she decided to go to the thursday night meeting.

  then on sunday, she went for the talk, and was told she had an elder's meeting at 12:30 that afternoon.

  Are the magazines losing their appeal?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think the mags are losing their appeal at the doors these days?.

  i mean, if you have the internet and wanted to learn about a particular beetle, recipe or how to cook rice, you could look it up on the web right?.

  if you wanted to learn about brightly colored birds and fish, you could go to google.com.

  JWs and materialism

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been out of the "truth" for nine years now, with many family members and relatives still in.

  while i was in, we were taught to be humble and put jehovah first in your life.

  meetings, study and service were the most essential parts of being a jw.

  Infidelity amongst JWs

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.
