Wedding Rings....

am i dreaming this up, or aren't they a pagan symbol?

if so, why would jw's continue to use them as part of a marriage ceremony in jehovah's eyes?.

2. beliefs
hello i am new and this will probably be the last time i post.

nice forum by the way but honestly and with all due respect it is not something i would like to be associated with.

i joined saying "oh cool a jw forum" but after reading just 2 posts i realized it is the black veil all over again.

Tubal pregnancy.....here's a mind-boggler......

i always wondered (even when i was still in the organization), but never had the guts to ask.. if a woman becomes pregnant, but the egg has implanted in the falopian tube....will the jw's condone an abortion to save the life of the mother?

or does it boil down to their usual pansy-ass, "matter of conscience" excuse.

What was the silliest thing they told you NOT to do?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there was some really piddily-crap that i remember.. for instance, when i was about 17 toe-rings became popular, and one of the sisters bought one....wore it to the kh during the summer with her sandals.

my best friend in the hall wanted one, which of course caused this huge debate about whether it would be okay 'in jehovah's eyes', and didn't it go against the scripture that counsels women against "bodily adornment", blah-blah-blah.

toe rings??!

What is the "Sacred Secret"?
by goddess_baal in
1. watchtower
2. bible
it's been about four years since i attended the kh, and i'm amazed to realize just how many of the doctrines i have forgotten.. i don't have the literature at my disposal anymore (or maybe i'm just too lazy), and the phrase "sacred secret" just popped into my head yesterday.

wasn't it one of the j-dub teachings of some sort?

(i remember asking my mom when i was a little girl, and i seems to me that she had trouble explaining it herself.).

i know most of you wouldn't read this, after-all it might improve your life and you don't want that do you?.

no sane person enjoys confrontation.

we like to be liked and thought well of.
