Hey Who Cares,

Go back to your "worldly" congregation and keep on what you're doing. Do they know what kind of website your on?

(I care)

I drive a Orange SS Camaro to the KH, nobody says I am worldly. Dress in Armani suits, wear a gold rolex (no necklace) never heard anyone say I look worldly.

There could be several reasons why no one has said anything to you:

Many JWs prefer to gossip behind someone's back rather than speaking directly to someone. Mostly because they are cowards.

Are you an elder? Is your Daddy an elder? Well titled family connections can make all the difference.

Are you financially well off? When I was a poor, lowly window cleaner I had people on my ass constantly about the most stupid things. When I changed careers and inheirited money from my Dad they started to fall all over me, probably thinking my improved financial standing would be reflected in the contribution box. It was not, and within a year they were all on my ass again.

All too worried of what other people say.

I'm sure most here, like myself, don't worry about what other people say. But for those who are still within the closed society of the cult the opinions of other members are very important. It can affect one's standard of living and sense of self worth. That's part of what makes the cult so destructive.

I bet the Rolex is from Singapore and is a counterfiet.

I was labeled "worldly" for: cutting my hair too short, getting more than one ear piercing, Quitting full time pioneering to attend college, going to see Schidler's List because it was rated R, being in a school play, driving myself to meetings and not sitting with my family at the assemblies, going to hot rod races, using a King James bible at the meetings

Hi Minimus!How about this one?Motorcycles!When my son parked his motorcyle in the parking lot of the kingdom hall, one of the elders made a big stink about it.He said it was a poor example to the neighbors and that the motorcycle should be parked in the street not in the kingdom hall parking lot.He also said that it was not showing respect for life as one could easily get injured or killed on a motorcycle and or contribute to the hurt of others in an accident.

When I showed him the article on motorcycles in the magazine where even the C.O.used it in the field service in other parts of the world, he said that it was only for those hard to get around places.Iasked him ,where does it say that in the article and he said that it is only reasonable that we don't use motorcycles in the city because it has a stigma attached to groups who are rebellious, ie.Hells Angels.This elder was a big honcho at Bethel and a big cowboy fan!

So,his opinion was that owning a motorcycle means that your worldly.
