by minimus inas with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.

jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

If You've Faded, Do You Still Consider Yourself a Dub?
by brunnhilde ini've been thinking about this a lot, because i've chosen to fade and i would never refer to myself as a jdub, but i've read postings from others who do.
i would have written a letter a year ago but i've got older parents who are upset enough about me just not attending.
on another thread someone is also leaving and they were advised to tell the jc to do whatever, to not acknowledge that they have any authority.

Door to Door Risk Factors?
by Outaservice inif you had, say, a daughter around 11 or 12 years old, would you let her go door to door with a friend also that age?
with all the strange people out there, is the watchtower society contributing to dangerous situations with their manner of preaching?
at least, the mormon's go two by two with young men.. some large cities have apartments up dark stairways and many neighborhoods are not even safe during daylight hours.. outaservice .
