  Names given to children

  by the_classicist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what i've noticed, is that there seems to be a lot of recent jw parents who make sure to name their kids by some hebrew/biblical name.

  so now you have kids running around w/names like ezekiel, reuben, isaiah, etc.

  there were also a few strange names that i'm sure some of these kids would've been made fun of because of it.. have any of you noticed this?

  yes in my congregations somechildren do have biblical names (Ruth, Lemuel...), but i don't know if the oraganization encourages this... anyway, these are names i've never heard anywhere else!!

  well what a story!! it reminds me what happens last months in my congregation... one elder died and his wife had relations (i mean, sexual ones) with an other elder just after that. and the same time, my best friend had to meet the elders (so, including this one) because they had found she was too close of a brother of the congregation. so, this is a mr hypocrite too ;-)) do what i say, not what i do!! this elder has been Df'd a month ago...

  i posted yesterday or day before regarding my anger at my wife being shunned the day after her father died.. in fact it was a very deliberate shun by 3 women who went out of their way to brush right past my wife.. i saw 2 of them today and went up to them in the school playyard and said very loudly for all the parents to hear:.

  "i would like to thank you both for your condolensces and for walking right past my wife when her father had just died.. true christianity??

  ?.....isn't it lovely!!!!!!.

  Is this a website promoting JW beliefs or ???

  by RottiePrincess in

  2. friends

  i've lurked a bit here a few times and i still can't figure out if this is a site of devout believers who're having crisis issues or if it's an anti-jw site.

  personally, i'm basically just curious.

  i've been out of the wtbts for a long time now [25 yrs] but my mom is still active and some of my relatives are also.
