  JW attending funerals in Catholic church

  just wondering, my jw husband attended a funeral at a catholic church with me, and i thought perhaps this was frowned upon?

  have any of you former jw's ever gone to any service in a church before?

  it totally shocked me that he went with me.. thanks-.

  My husband's comment on the hurricane looters.

  all he said as we watched a little of it last night, is "and that's in the heart of the 'bible belt' of america".......... to me it was a put down of the south, and completely devoid of any understanding.

  all i said was: "these people down there have nothing to begin with".

  as in another thread, i cannot believe my eyes when i see these thugs are terrorizing hosptials, rescue efforts, etc.

  Is this swearing, to a JW?

  by wordlywife in

  saying "jesus" or "judas priest", as when watching a football game and a call or play is bad?

  my jw husband does this frequently.. .

  would this be considered swearing by the average witness?.

  i didn't see the person, but my husband told me about it.

  glad this weekend is over, i can't believe people want to go to these things and enjoy them.

  it was torture for me, but then i'm worldly.

  What is the Society's definition of a minor???

  by wordlywife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw husband says that 18 is still a minor according to wt doctrine, so if he has to shun his daughter there are certain things he can still do.

  is this true?

  is there an age where if a child is df'd that certain "allowances" are made (like younger child or child living with you)?

  A thinking, reasoning person........

  by wordlywife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the debate with my husband over my step-daughter's df has begun, just barely.

  he used a phase about me being "a thinking, reasoning person" and he doesn't understand why i don't "see" bible principles.

  i said that phrase is an insult to me, and then it went sour.
