I thought they weren't supposed to be vain??? I even know an older couple and they both wear wigs in an attempt to look younger, but their hygeine is what really could use some attention.

20JW women focused on appearance!
by Sirona init really gets on my nerves.. jw women used to be always focused, as their number one thing, on appearance.
they could be crap at the rest of the jw stuff, but if they turned up at the meeting dressed nice, thin, long hair, looking nice, all was forgiven.
of course it was because of the misogyny (sp?

What are some of the "Get rich quick businesses" the witnesses tried?
by mjarka911 ini remember many witness businesses that would pop up.
usually they would say "i'll just offer it to the friends to get started, then when it takes off i can pioneer".
it was usually one after the other for the same people.

I will not share a meal with you but can you give me some money
by tyler m ini had to come here and post about this.
my parents who have dutifully shunned me for nearly 9 years had the nerve to ask me for money.
it wasn't for food, a car payment, house payment or anything like that.

Oh, this is really hits a sore spot with me. Those miserable people that think they are too good to associate with "worldy people" and yet they are so willing to take our dirty money. I've been shunned by some of them and then when they take the time to be nice, you know they want to borrow something or sell you something. I know of one couple that thought it was perfectly OK to borrow a "worldly" couple's car for weeks and then when one of the "worldy" people had a serious health problem and couldn't get out to mow his own lawn the JW "friend" didn't make any offer to help him out! I was very surprised....er no I wasn't. Shame on them!

Tough day -- my mom died today
by cruzanheart inpoor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.

Was the JW Family only looking out for their own interest................
by HEAVENS DESTINY insenerio: jw family was in the mist of being evicted from there home, they have a student that they study w/ regularly whos family is also in the mist of loosing there home (they are opposed to the jw's).
jw family convinces the studies family that the jw is all good and to prove it they can come stay with them untill they (the non-jw family) get back on there feet and no pressure on having the whole family study unless they want to, rent then will be shared among all of them for a small period of time.. now is it acceptable for a jw family to take in worldy people into there home if they are not the least bit interested in jw?
was the jw family only looking out for there best interest and used outsider to share the rent?.

Maybe I'm just cynical based on my experiences with certain Witnesses, but I get the sense that they will make exceptions as long as they benefit from a situation. We know JW's and the only time they are friendly and come around is when they want to borrow something or sell something. The rest of the time they won't give you the time of day...my experience anyway. I'm sure their are exceptions though.

Most people that see a "No Soliciting" sign on someone's property are smart enought to figure out that the householder doesn't want to be bothered period and will respect the request. I for one will not put up a "No Trespassing" sign simply because of their arrogance. If they are rude and arrogant enough to ignore my request to be bothered and insist on coming to my door, then they will be treated rudely in return. Agnes

No Hospitality- for Int'l Delegates! remember?...
by upside/down ina few years ago while in south orange county, socal there was an announcement made.
they needed volunteers to open their homes to our bro's and sis' that were coming in as international delegates.
this was supposed to be a showing of solidarity to our brethren elsewhere and a showing of jw unity and brotherly love (barf).. however, hardly anyone volunteered their homes!

I've had JW relatives try and get me to put up large groups of people that I've never even met. I refused and that made them unhappy. I'm not sure why they even needed a place to stay, but I know they were from out of the country. They can never visit alone; they always have to bring "a friend". I guess we aren't worth worthy of their undivided attention since we are "worldy". Agnes

They say they don't celebrate Xmas, but...???
by JH inevery year, on dec 25th, witnesses in our area gather at a book study group, and they have a dinner together.
although they say that they don't celebrate christmas, why do they gather on dec 25th like catholics do and share dinner together?
i'm sure that neighbors think that it's a christmas gathering.. i know that there isn't any christmas decorations there, or gifts being given, but i find it odd, that every year, some book study will organize a dinner on december 25th.

The JW's I know celebrate the holidays as as much as anyone else, but usually not with their "worldy relatives", but with their "new family". Agnes

Which is worse: shunning by JW or by Non-JW relatives?
by GermanXJW inyesterday, on the first christmas holiday, my family and me were invited at my father in law's house.
he has never been a jw and we had no contact but because he shunned us for being jw.
i find this as offensive as being shunned by a jw - maybe even worse because he decided personally to have no contact.

I don't think one is any worse than the other. Shunning is cruel. JW's aren't allowed to associate with "worldy people" and perhaps the non-jw's take offense at that and figures why bother with them since they have made their choice.
