Michael Jackson's Death Is Exposing Jehovah's Witnesses In A HUGE Way!!!
by minimus inif you read comments made regarding mj's death, there are tons of people talking about his religion.
the fact that he was a jw that disassociated himself, is giving bloggers all sorts of ammunition regarding the rotten witness religion.
jws are trying to defend themselves and their religion and outsiders are clearly seeing how effed up jws really are.. good..

the guy who said the final prayer was also the same guy who began the service.. He said he was Pastor ??? and his prayer seemed to be that of a Christian man so I am sure he was not a JW...

KH weddings
by rockmehardplace ini did not want to hijack the other thread on kh funerals.
when i got married, my wife and i were married at the kh.
i wanted a particular family member as my best man but because he was not a baptized brother, they would not allow it.

A young girl that I was very close to is getting married in the KH soon. I met her only sister the other day in the street and she told me she that she was not ALLOWED to be in the wedding party.. She said the elders at first said it was because she had tatoos on her arm and then just flatly made the bride tell her she could not be in the wedding.. she is not baptized and has not attented meetings since she was a teen but is very close to her sister.. Her father is "allowed" to walk her down the aisle and he was never a JW nor attended meetings.. so it is very hyprocritical that this is happening and the sister of the bride is very hurt. The groom's parents.. both JW's are making a lot of the wedding plans as they have some bucks.. anyway, it is sad...I love both of these girls..and know if things were different ....... The sister of the bride is going to protest the way things came down by standing outside the KH and not going in for the wedding.. She is very upset.. I hope this will make more than a few people think how sad things are in this "cult"..

The husband will no doubt be offering you a bible study..and the sister would continue with your wife.. I would try to stifle this idea.. If you start to attend meetings they will really be on you. The goal is to get studies to the meetings.. brownie points...You are doing well to get your wife to look into things you have investigated. Keep trying.. This is a terrible cult and it is easy to get in but not so easy to get out of.. Take care..

Blood transfusions, Holidays that included family being together. Shunning, Remaining married to partners that abused you physically, mentally, and verbally. Going to meetings sick. Obeying the elders at all costs.. it just goes on and on...
