i'm wondering wether or not non-witness friends or relatives are welcome at, or invited to a baptism?
?
To answer the original question, yes. when i got baptised my not believing parents came. I think under normal curcumstances it would be seen as a "good witness" to invite people who would otherwise be unlikely to attend a meeting.
In this case however, I am with sentinel. I wonder why you are considering going. my personal opinion is that we need to respect peoples choises. I would never activley try to interfere with some one else's faith, as I would not want anyone to interfere with mine. I think it is better to respectfully stay away.
If however your intention is just to quitely observe, and the person getting baptised wants you there, I see no reson why you shouldn't go.
who has the real truth then ?.
i found this forum last year and since then i have read many posts.
many people are still eager to quote from the bible etc.its almost as if they are still jw's.
When I told witness friends I was no longer going to be a witness myself, they all asked me the same question; "What now? Where will you go?" All seemed to think that if I no longer believed they had "The Truth", then I must need to look eleswhere.
I had no desire to find another religion and this is something they could not understand.
Thank you bisous, you said it all. It is W/T indoctorination, that conditions people to believe there is one "Truth". I had never though about it like that.
we hear there is approx over 6,000,000 witnesses worldwide,.
any idea how many ex-jws there are,.
i have heard memorial attendances at around 11-12 million, but im not sure if that means anything.. do you think there are more x-jws then jws today ???.
I have no idea! interesting question though.
i would like to thank all who have replied to my quesstion about hitting back at woman.
i would like to ask a further question about this situation.
some have surgested that my friends girlfriend acted in self defense when she slapped him because he was pinning her in a corner and yelling.
thank you Nos.
very insightful! i am not sure if this was the case here, but could well have been. good point
ladies,.
how do you feel about speaking with ex-boyfriends?
can you still be "friends" with someone you broke up with?
One of my best friends is an ex.
his current partner does not know we are in touch. so we only e-mail and speek on the phone. there is no reason to worry, i am now married with 3 kids and live 350 miles away! my husband knows and is fine with it.

eleswhere; I thing you are probably right. they are currently seperated.
i would like to as the men on the board a question.
if your wife/partner were to slap you during an argument, would you feel that if you were you to hit back it would make you equal?.
we all know that violance, no matter how minor is wrong, but this is a question about equality.
when i said violence is always wrong, i was refering to domestic situations. ofcourse in self defense it is different.

HE believed that he was justified in his reaction as she had been "emotionaly abusive" (nagging, belittling, etc) then when he wanted to "have his say" she walked away. pinning her in was the only way he could make her listen.
does this change your verdict of "self defence"?

Blondie; I tend to agree with you, but sometimes its not that clear cut.
There is self defense and self defense. If a woman is in serious danger, too right you would hit hard were it hurts, but is it not also a form of self defense when the man you love has you pinned in a corner, being verbaly abusive? if he refuses to let her go, and is being threatening in his behavior while i am not saying she should have slapped him, but i am saying it was understandable.
