  I don't get it - Marriage in WT world

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).

  now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.

  is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.

  i remember one wedding farce--back in the late 60's.

  it was common back then for young dubs to marry in their teens--i was 20. my bride was 19.

  a year or so later--an even younger couple got hitched..well--almost. they had hired a hall--organised a reception..new suit--bridegown for her--ring--the lot...well--not quite.

  the talk got underway--we were guests--about 100 in attendance. the congregation servant did the talk. i cant recall the exact sequence of events--but it was realised there was no authorised person present, to officiate. it transpired they hadnt given the required legal notice ( the banns )..so the whole thing ground to a halt.

  the reception still went ahead--but the couple went back to their respective parents homes that night.

  they got a special licence and got married the following week.

  my old jw dad was an authorised person--which meant he used to attend jw weddings in the Birmingham UK area to do the form filling at weddings. this was in the time frame early 70's to mid 80's. he kept records for years in a strongbox.

  he told me of one ceremony where the elder conducting was departing from the formal words the couple had to repeat; he had to interrupt and insist the elder used the correct words in the correct sequence. the elder was not a happy bunny.

  Worldwide Campaign Nov 2020

  by Listener in

  thanks petra and atlantis for sending the latest letter regarding the watchtowers plan for a worldwide campaign in november this year.

  i am wondering what they are planning to achieve from this campaign, particularly their focus on sending the watchtower 2020 no.

  2, titled "what is god's kingdom" to politicians, governments (and tribal leaders) around the world.. it would appear that this is their answer to governments who have put them in the spot light for their bad policies, particularly their handling of child abuse.

  Many businesses and organisations will fold in the pandemic, it’s not out of the question that Watchtower should be one of them.

  
  

  yep--and they will probably blame jehovah.

  “Minimus” Was Mentioned On Another Site In A Negative Way!

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was told that minimus was talked about on six screens by someone who said “minimus is a racist “.

  i just want to set the record straight and say he is a great guy and loves everybody equally.

  race and color does not make a person better or worse.

  Witness reaching out to me after 20+ years...

  by SouthCentral in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few weeks ago; a witness couple from the midwest reached out to me after 25+ years.

  they said they were doing a letter writing campaign and decided to reach out to me… they called on my personal cell phone, which was a little surprising.

  a few days ago, a couple that i knew from over 40 years ago, sent me a text, again to my personal cell phone.. i assume that they just googled my name to get the personal info.

  maybe its all part of the cult's strategy. no meetings--no door knocking. getting in contact with us ex's--risking more becoming ex's. selling off halls. merging congs.

  one word--downsizing.
