Was the JW Family only looking out for their own interest................

by HEAVENS DESTINY in

jw
friends

senerio: jw family was in the mist of being evicted from there home, they have a student that they study w/ regularly whos family is also in the mist of loosing there home (they are opposed to the jw's).

jw family convinces the studies family that the jw is all good and to prove it they can come stay with them untill they (the non-jw family) get back on there feet and no pressure on having the whole family study unless they want to, rent then will be shared among all of them for a small period of time.. now is it acceptable for a jw family to take in worldy people into there home if they are not the least bit interested in jw?

was the jw family only looking out for there best interest and used outsider to share the rent?.

On the other hand I new another JW family who opposed ever to have a worldy pepole stay with them, stated that there would be no trust from outsiders!

Two different senerios, both JW people w/ contridicating info.

As a Ex-JW student I know a few woman in the cong. that were married to a non-witness, I knew them for years (I studied off and on for 10yr+).Some times there husbands would come (mostly to the memorial). My teacher told me as she to was married to a non-JW that it is encouraged to marry w/in but well things happen.

JWs and Clothing

by the_classicist in

where i live, its not usual for people to "dress up," especially business people and executives, you are more likely to see them with a button up shirt, khakis, and one of those fleece vests on.

so, on the whole, jws look very out of place wearing their cheap suits (though a few elders didn't wear cheap suits and they made that known, "look at this, i got a spot on my new $200 designer shirt" -- really, something like this happened).

but what i did notice is that, in my area, dressing guidelines usually weren't followed, or enforced for that matter, for good looking women.

As a JW student, when I went to the KH in the spring/summer time the girls and woman wore summer sleveless dresses or evan spaggettii straps no stocking but of course cute pedicures with there plateform pumps, big hooped earings, lovely hairstylies you know the ones you pay $100+ (hair dying/strikes/weaves) almost looking like your going to the club. Oh dont forget the long colored nails and to my surprise a few had nose rings ( I always thought that was odd, but I never questioned it, but is that approperite?)

As for me well I wore what ever I can put together I wasnt going to spend major bucks, my study teacher told me that a good time to buy cloths was during easter, x-mas sales cause the church looking cloths were on sale. Well I either bought KH cloths at the 2nd hand store or barrowed my moms cloths or maybe once a a while I would try to put a club alfit together what would they know it looked almost the same as what the other girls were wearing. I have a major tatoo on my arm that well lets say it not "approperite" my first time wearing a sleevless dress one of the sisters said next time you might want to wear a sweater, well I just didnt bother wearing sleeveless dress, well one day it was sooooooooo hot that I did wear a sleeveles dress and man people must of thought I had some surgery on my arm cause I covered my tatoo w/ guaze and tape.

That my take on JW dress code, oh by the way I am an Ex-JW student and get to were what ever the hell I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Why Are Some Superstitions Okay?

by Swan in

this is one of the things i never understood as a jw.

i was told that jws were not superstitious people.

as followers of the true god jehovah, we weren't to give in to false beliefs, even if others were practicing them.

HEAVENS DESTINY

I'm not a JW nor ever was but my bible study teacher told me that if you were ever waken by a nightmare or a bad dream, to say Jehovahs name out loud because his name will scare satan and his demons away.????

The cross............ Why the denial of what it represents???

by coz in

i have talked with some jw's recently and they seem to make a big deal out of this.

whut is up with that???

?

HEAVENS DESTINY

Also being that it is a symbol of christ death regardless if it was on a stake or cross, JW's consider it an idol and thats a major no-no. JW's arent suppose to pray to or kneel in front of any idol ie:cross, saints, candles ect. Their only to pray to Jehovah thru his son Jesus Christ.

Looking to Convert...

by swyven in

i'm not currently a jehovah's witness, although maybe i am (?).

my father was a devout jehovah's witness, and he intended on indoctrinating me in the faith as i grew up...however, my mother took me away from him when i was 4 years old, and i haven't been able to find him since (i contacted the main hq in new york, but he couldn't be found anywhere).

i have read numerous books and articles which i've got from the watchtower store, and have read this website, www.watchtower.org and been involved in the yahoo!

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I was a JW Student for "12" years off and on, no one in my family is a JW and I honestly thank God. But my point is I am now an EX-Student for the fact that my research on the JW's proved alot of my doubts. Take it from me your not missing out on anything, but for your father and that search I do encourge but not becoming a JW. Just my opinion............Good Luck!

A proud brother writes. letter to Bill Bowen.

by avengers in

"so william bowen, what did you get disfellowshipped for?

i can't believe.

the false information you are giving about jehovah's witnessess.

HEAVENS DESTINY

Did I here they donate money to people in third world countries and that they welcome people w/out a home in there home. I thought JWs dont participate in disater relief isnt that donating money to worldly people and they let them stay with them I thought or should I say my bible study teacher said JWs would never allow a worldly person to stay in there home????Now you know why I dont study anymore.
