  How many witness marriages would end in divorce

  by boy@crossroads in

  were it not for the witness view of marriage as an eternal bond how many witness couples would have gone their separate ways?

  based on what i've personally seen i would say at least 75%.

  Although I'm not completely sure, I think the witnesses would at least frown upon cannibalism

  Amish in the City/The Village/JW's

  i watched amish in the city tonight and saw the village last night.

  been thinking a lot about comparisons with jws.

  i found the rumspringa thing quite interesting ever since i saw devil's playground (watch it if you have a chance, great documentary!).

  and "running wild" is a relative term. Whats "running wild" to the amish certainly isn't "running wild" to most other people. I can just imagine a young amish on their rumspringa interacting with outside people. If wearing blue jeans and driving cars is "running wild" what will they think when they find out about pornography, drugs, immoral behaviour? The person would probably say to themselves "Man, everybody back home was right this world is evil".

  I'm a little curious about the amish rumspringa!! I haven't seen the show but I would love to. First off it doesn't seem to me that the amish truely allow their children to "run around" as they claim to. IMO I can imagine that there is much internal pressure from amish families for their children to come back to the religion. Second, ill-equipping people to live in a foreign world then releasing them into that world to fend for themselves seems a perfect way of reinforcing that their way of seeing things is the right way. I'm sure after seeing a few episodes of "rumspringa" one will see why amish children run back to their religion (comfort zone).

  what article was it when you were a witness that was the most complicated for you to understand?

  Did you wear your badge outside the convention, so as to "give a witness?"

  by truthseeker in

  this year at the dc, we were expressly told to wear our badges at all times, even when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness.".

  did any of you hear follow through with this arrangement?

  did you have one of those "fantastic" experiences, when someone commented on your badge?.

  HELL NO !!! and none of my witless friends did either! I hated those things. I don't know what it was but just the thought of putting one on me made me feel uncomfortable. You tell yourself, "whats the point in even trying to put on that new snazy tie to look different at the assembly if your going to wear that dumb badge that identifies you with a group". and the wts says "we are a unified people, not a uniformed people" . then whats the deal with the badges?
