  What obligation do you feel towards your family who are still in?

  by czarofmischief in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everybody's situation is different, of course, and everybody has their own choices to make.. but do you recall that when we were dubs, we were constantly urged to go out in service, because people needed to hear what we thought was the truth?

  they would use that scripture by paul, "i consider myself a debtor to all men" etc.

  to enforce the moral compulsion to go door to door.. now that we know the truth about the truth; how obliged are we to tell our family?

  Awake article on friendship, good advice! Wish they'd take it!

  by AlmostAtheist in

  the awake of december 8, 2004 says in the article "good friends, bad friends" under the subheading "sizing up potential friends":.

  "what opinion do mature and respectable people in the community have of him [the potential friend]?

  in addition, it is wise to consider not only how potential friends treat us but also how they treat others, particularly those from whom they have nothing to gain.

  Sex And Baal.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recalling yesterday with a newbie -ex how some dub folk liken the sex act to baal worship.. we had one chappie in our congregation who would forever be admonishing us that partaking in oral sex or anal sex (why are they always bracketed together by jw's?

  ) were in themselves an act of baal worship even if one was legally married to the initiator / recipient.. i don't get it.

  (the point of view, not the sex) anyone else come across this one?.
