JW girlfriend
by JohnZogby in
1. jw
2. friends
hello, i am new to this site, and i am dating a jw.

however, my experience has been quite different from that of others doing the same thing.

unlike other posts that i have read, her parents (we are both 18) are supportive of her relationship with me, she is quite open minded when it comes to social activities, she has both jw and non-jw friends, and is a totally "normal" 18 year old girl.

there are hundreds and hundreds of permitted extra-curricular activities for jw's to enjoy.

activities that have nothing to do with religion or worship where jw's can really have a ball!.

so, for all of you people who sometimes wonder if you should perhaps go back, lets all list the permitted fun things that any witness can do in his / her spare time.. i'll get the ball rolling:.

friend's encounter with jws,this may interest U.

.

my friend was swiddling with his car when he noticed a group of jws going door to door, one of them (a lady) approached him and said they wanted to interest him in the bible etc etc.. he said that jesus christ was the head of his household so he couldn't accept wt publications.. he also said u should pratise your faith or something similiar.. he also made an interesting observation,all the jws were carrying laptop computers!.

the idea,being they could beam images onto your living room wall or insert a cd rom into the laptop to show u things.. my friend believes they r carrying out a test run using laptops in their ministry.. is he right?.

For JW's...Where in the Bible does it say...
by Wolfgirl in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
...that men are not allowed to grow beards?.

i don't know if this is true where you live, but where i used to live, it was against "policy" for brothers to have beards.

any man who did have one was looked down upon.

by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
things must be getting pretty desperate.

i just heard some wonderful news of another boy being appointed a ministerial servant.

the comment was that even though he is young, he is very mature.another person, speaking of a different boy being appointed said that he had the added advantage of being home schooled and that really helped him to mature.

2. friends
.

we have a bigg artikel in km abot our wuie on how to treat them in diffrent situations, not so much new things, but they confirm this harder treatment on dfd, as we have 1981.. not so happy for this, i think it is a bigg misstake to dont take this occasion to change to some more loving wuie.i can not follow why they do like this perhaps they are draw this to the end of the lione, but who are take the punnish for this, if not the averge jw, who i think dont like this so very much.. so i can not follow who they think, perhaps we have wolfs among us, who hurt ther members.. .
