  Thanks for the link JH. Looking at those pictures made me pause and reflect on how minute we are in the scheme of things. I also sent the link to my son who is extremely interested in astronomy.

  Should I marry a JW ?

  by curiousabouthim in

  2. relationships

  i am new to the jw world, not one, but do love one.

  met a man who down to the tee is amazing.

  he is a great man, the only thing i am not so sure about is his "religious" beliefs.

  Please do all the reading and researching you can and get his truthful answers before you even consider marriage. I am sure he is a wonderful man but he is controlled by an organization that tells him what and what no he is able to do. He has to obey these "men" to the ultimate or he will be ousted. He will be forever trying to please these "men" and your needs, wants, and emotions will be last on his list. My ex became a JW after five years of our marriage and for the next five years I was so damaged that I will never be the same person again. When I tried to end the marriage he kidnapped our two sons and I didn't see them or know where they were for six month. They were four and nine. They were assisted by different Witness congregations in different provinces. So tread very carefully my dear girl....Life is too short to be so uphappy.

  i just got an email today telling me of an email circulation among the jws about an newspaper article in coquitlam, british columbia in canada.

  currently, the jws are not exempt from paying city taxes.

  it reports that the council is reviewing its policy on tax breaks to be given to certain groups.
