speaking from my observations in my family .... have an uncle, very successful travel business, very well off, both kids in their 30's 40's never had a job, both in bethel and have nothing.. another had 5 kids , did very well, all kids are pioneers and or bethel kids and have nothing, one just left bethel and now living in a one bedroom apartment with wife.. and they have no future or skills, .

even my one brother, 2 kids both work part time, and pioneer, yet he would never quit his job and go into the full time work, in fact his wife just got a job.. and what bugs me about this, is, they shove it down their kids throats, and yet they would never give up their jobs, they would never pioneer, i find it disturbing and sad.. and i saw this at the kingdom hall as well, anyone have similar experiences ??

My Catholic wife chastised the JWs coming to our door

my wife just called me to tell me that as she was leaving the house this morning to run some errands, there were 2 " nice looking" ladies coming up our drive.

we have a 200 foot driveway and she encountered them already on our property approaching the house, just as she was driving out.

she said she knew they were jws because of the conservative looking clothes and cheap vinyl book bags.

hi i was with a ex jw for 5 years, and he never attended funerals, christmas, birthdays, weddings, etc.

i found their reasoning that it is pagan and their bible verses against birthdays to be ridiculous.

i was bothered more with funerals.

i was with a ex-jw for 5 years or shall i say disfellowshipped but still never moved on!

anyways the whole time we were together no birthdays, funerals, weddings (only reception not church), thanksgiving, christmas.

i always felt alone and like i would offend him celebrating these things.

Marrying a non-believer?

i am currently dating a jehovas-witness, and have been for a while.

we have talked about marriage, but a lot of what i hear and read is that for her to marry a non-believer is frowned upon by others in the religion.

i am a non-believer of any religion.

For those with family in the org...

...have they justified the un involvement to you by saying that the wts was only getting information for their magazines, that they weren't "aiding" them in their political work, so the involvement was ok?.

imo, there is no justification for the un invovement.

how do you reason with your family when they defend the actions of the wts?
