  scripturally free to remarry secret!!!

  by asilentone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know a brother that was not scripturally free to remarry to the best of his knowledge, his ex wife was disfellowshipped in another state, his ex wife did not contact him letting him know that he is scripturally free to remarry, but the elders at his congregation knew about it, but they chose to keep it a secret from him for whatever reason???.

  he did not know about it after one year after the fact!

  he learned about it from a brother from another state.

  2. relationships

  alright, with my last post it should be obvious i'm in conflict...if it's not, then yeah.. my boyfriend is not a witness.

  he understands that witnesses can't marry or date non witnesses.

  but i guess could say we've been stalling...looking for a solution a gray area to that black and white situation...but with time getting as it is...stalling doesn't work anymore.

  What's Your Opinion: Is Legal Marriage Important?

  by GoddessRachel in

  1. social
  2. family

  hey everyone,.

  so i've been thinking about marriage a lot lately, with same-sex marriages being approved in some states, banned in others, and flip-flopped in still others (see: california).. i recently read an article in my local newspaper about how marriage is a personal and religious union that has no business being in any of our laws, and that the laws should instead be for a legal domestic relationship, to establish and recognize legal families, and that marriage should be altogether separate from that.

  i really agreed with all that was said in the article.. i want to get married.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  im doing a bit of research for an academic paper on shunning and am interested in your response to any or all of these questions.. please think back to when you were a jw (if necessary) or to other jws you knew.. 1) does shunning work?

  (for example, does it bring sinners to their senses?

  does it keep the congregation clean?

  i know there have been alot of threads lately about what men want, what women want etc, but i'd like to hear what you want out of your relationship, be it marriage, living together, or whatever.

  what is it you are looking for in a relationship?

  what do you want the relationship to fulfill for you individually and as a couple?.
