Jehovah’s witnesses and having kids

by Addison0998 in

in my area, a lot of young people don’t want to have kids.

they get married young from 18-22 years old, and think that they know how they’re going to feel the rest of their lives about having children, (which they think will be never).

i respect people who don’t want to have kids, there are good reasons not to, but i think it’s foolish at a young age to think you will never think differently for the rest of your life.

my born-in dub wife didnt want kids, she told me one day that sister so-and-so had died as a result of choking on the afterbirth.

she suddenly changed her mind about starting a family--telling me she thought her father would like a grand child.

she is still a dub. well suited to it.

Many Jehovah's Witness Leaders and Followers Customize Their Religion to Suit Their Needs

after observing my jehovah's witness friends and family members for over 50 years it became apparent that the vast majority of "the brothers and sisters" pick and choose the rules and laws that their church/organization what them to follow.. tough the society may state these admonitions as definite "do's and don'ts" many of the church followers put these admonitions in the the "grey zone.".

the reason being jehovah will give them special dispensation.

yes, for some odd reason jehovah will cut these people some slack for the same things he must punish others for.

back in my late teens--the late 1960's---the general unspoken idea for courting couples was it was ok to play--but no penetrative intercourse.

in the first few years of my marriage--i had to pray out loud at bedtime.

( i dont think " for what we are about to receive may the lord make us truly thankful" would have gone down too well. )

Do You Ever Wonder Where Certain Posters Are?

by minimus in

jw
friends

do people simply leave because the site has given them what they wanted?

are they now infrequent lurkers?.

did they go back to the watchtower?.

stan livedeath

i dont suppose theres more than a few dozen who post frequently on here--say more than once a week.

ive noticed quite a few stop suddenly--over the past few years. yet other from years back suddenly kick off again.

some days i wish i could stop reading.. but i suppose i still need my ex dub fix .

Jehovah's Witnesses and the Great Crowd

by Meshech in

as jesus christ was preparing to go to his death, he encouraged his disciples with these words:.

"in my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, i would have told you.

i go to prepare a place for you.

Do elders still ask inactive members to write a letter to disassociating yourself from the Congregation?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

do today's elders ever meet with inactive members and pressure them to write a letter disassociating themselves from the congregation stating that, ''you no longer wish to a jehovah witness"?.

i was baptized at the young age of 16. after turning 18, i stopped attending meetings, field service, and all jehovah's witness activities.

i wanted to be with my high school friends, go to rock concerts, have a girlfriend, and live like a normal teen.

i bet the members of the governing body laugh their heads off when they read threads like this.

like a bunch of squabbling girls.
