JWs and Gambling
by JohnnyMarr ini've been inactive for a while and i can't remember the jws stance on gambling.
i'm kinda big into poker now and i want to know what to expect if i'm televised or spotted in a public tournament.
is it a disfellowshipping offense, public reproof offense, or conscious decision?

by PaNiCAtTaCk ini told on a girl for liking a worldy boy at school.
me and another brother actually waited down the street from the boys house to see if she went there after school, just to get some proof for the eders.
i cant believe i did that:( did anyone else spy on another witness like i did?

my heart goes out to you....i will always admire her faith, even if it may have been misplaced. she was quite a hoot to work out in field service with. i was with her once when she put her service bag down to read a scripture and a dog peed on it! she never knew until we told her! the friends really were good to her 'til the end.she will be missed.
