  Jehova's Witnesses and Dating

  by SoManyQuestions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's this really great girl i know, and she is so perfect for me, except for the fact that she's a jehova's witness and i'm not.

  she says that she can't date outside the religion.

  i'm pretty sure that jehova's witnesses are a branch of "mainstream christianity" (meaning they just basically follow the bible, not have a different interpretation like like mormons).

  Do wives just tag along?

  do wives just tag along?.

  i'm sure this applies to husbands and children too, but i feel mostly women.. in the congregation there were often brothers viewed as strong , in postions of responsability such as min's and elders.usually in my experience the wives were no where near as "spiritual".. in fact it often seamed as though there "service" was based on their husbands.. i've seen this in men to but not as much.. now the proof of this is in whether a large number of spouces leave the truth without much persuading needed by their more forthright wives or husbands.. heres an example.. mine.. my wife has never read an apostate book and doesn't look on the internet, but as soon as i stoped going to the hall so did she.. another contrary experience is of a prominant elder in france who was well known and gave talks on the district assemblies.as soon as his wife died he left the truth as he was only going to please her.. whats your experience been.. (please don't get mad at me ladies i'm only talking about what i've seen)

  question about shepherding calls

  by blindfool in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm just curious about something and thought some of the former elders and such could answer.. i know of some witnesses who are sick and can't come to the meetings.. we used to call them shut-ins in church.

  i don't think that any elders or pioneers ever visit on a regular basis.

  it seems to me that it would be easy for a pioneer to rack up some good hours by going by and having a weekley book study and wt study with these people.

  Therapy suggestions.......

  ok as those of you who know me know i'm a little wacky since my exit from the borg.

  i've decided that its a little more than can be solved with just this board so i'm calling in the pros.

  hopefully they can just do some type of operation and remove this borg chip that is still implanted in my brain.

  Did The Generation Change Silence Apostates?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is a paragraph from the1997 august 1st.watchtower re the generation change:.

  "recently, 'the faithful and discreet slave' has helped us to refine our understanding of the term 'generation' used at matthew 24:34 and of the timing of the judgment of 'the sheep' and 'the goats' mentioned at matthew 25:31-46, as well as of our view toward certain types of civilian service.

  no doubt some apostates would have been delighted if many of jehovah's witnesses had stuck rigidly to the previous understanding of such subjects and refused to progress.

  Where have all the children gone?

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how did the next line of the peter, paul and mary song go?.

  "long time passing".. children in the witness community here in oz seem to be disappearing.. there was a time when each congregation could expect to count new publishers each year from the children growing up in witness families.

  say 1 or 2 in an average 100 publisher congregation.
