I've never seen this scripture quoted in the WT
by UnConfused in1 cor 10:27. if an unbeliever invites you and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you, making no inquiry on account of your conscience.. .
.
i suppose that would mean it's ok to go eat with unbelievers?.

We also have this article from way back in the 1960 Wt, Jan 1st featuring a full quote of the scripture :
"17 Paul knew that Christians were ‘to keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols’ (Acts 15:29); but he explained to the Corinthians: “Everything that is sold in a meat market keep eating, making no inquiry on account of your conscience, for ‘the earth belongs to Jehovah, and so does its fullness.’ If anyone of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, proceed to eat everything that is set before you, making no inquiry on account of your conscience. But if anyone should say to you: ‘This is something offered to a god,’ do not eat on account of the one that disclosed it and on account of conscience. ‘Conscience,’ I say, not yours, but that of the other person. For why should it be that my freedom is judged by another person’s conscience? If I am partaking with thanks, why am I to be spoken of abusively over that for which I give thanks?” (1 Cor. 10:25-30) It may have been that the meat sold in the meat markets had been offered to idols, but how would a person know? He might not have inquired whether the animal, or even the part of it that he bought, was offered to an idol. So, Paul says, if a person invites you to dinner, eat what he has. Paul knew “that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one.” (1 Cor. 8:4) But, if someone eating with you says, “This is something offered to a god,” then because of that man’s conscience do not eat any of it. Because of your own conscience? No, but because of the conscience of the other person. You may stumble that one by your eating."

I'm not picky, but my preference is any top-shelf cognac, bourbon, whiskey, or scotch - chilled and neat. I have a thing for Gentleman Jack, American Honey, and Crown Black. My motto is top-shelf is for drinking neat, lower shelves are for mixing.

What if I am a disfellowshipped public school teacher?
by bsand20 incould a parent put in a complaint to the school district and request that their child be transferred out of my classroom because i am exjw?
if they give me the jw school brochure (do they still do that?
sorry its been 16years since i've been out) can i just tell them i'm familiar with their teachings or should i just pretend i'm new to their teachings?....i'm a freshman in college so i have still a long ways before this situation is presented, however i"m trying to get prepared for it.

You should feel blessed pursuing a career as a DF'd public school teacher, because having lived the nightmare, you have special insight into the situation that any JW children you face may teach. You can use this insight to show special care and consideration to their needs. They still pass out the Education brochure. You can either accept it or not. When I was in school, I had plenty of teachers tell me that they already had a copy from a previous JW. This was not uncommon in my school. Just enjoy the fact that you are now free, and that you are privy to knowledge to which 99% of the other teachers won't have a clue. This knowledge will enable you to tailor your encouragement and support to these ones in a way that other teachers will not be able to.

I wish I was going there, but I'll be in New Orleans. It's the closest one to me. I told myself I have to stick around to see what happens at this year's DC. 100 years in the making....I'm sure they'll make asses out of themselves. Now if I can only sit through the propaganda. If I can't, Bourbon Street is not far away.

I remember back in my college days before I started dating my wife, I started to get close to a few worldy girls. We'd hang out between classes. When one started flirting with me pretty heavily, I tried moving things to the next level and she let me know that wasn't her intentions at all. Same thing - no boyfriend, dressed sexy, flirted, commented on my sexy looks. Fortunately, we stayed friends.
I chalked it up to Jehovah protecting me, but I know different now.

This is based on a weekend vacation, but west of Tampa is awesome. Two places come to mind: Clearwater and St. Petersburg. St. Peterburg has a special feel to it. You have to visit to experience it. I would suggest visiting the family for a few days and spend your time driving around the outlying areas. Tampa felt a little too busy for me. Its nice to drive into on the weekend for a visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Who are those young JW SKINHEADS ?
by aligot ripounsous inat the latest circuit assembly, i noticed that quite a few young male jws (or at least attending youths), say sixteen upward and mostly mixed race, are skin headed.
apart from that, they are quite well dressed.
that way, elders won't reprove them for their long hair ... looks like an obvious defying message to a rigid organization.

I know quite a few young men in my old congregation that had severe receding hairlines by the time they were 20. It appeared to run in the family. So it was less embarassing to just shave their head than sport a receded hairline before they could drink.
