JW Wedding

i have a question, help!!

lol one of my best friends who is still a very active jw is getting married in march.

the second head elder from the kh i used to go to is dj'ing her reception.

Thanks to all, and to Dismembered, that's cute, I hear ya. Yes, I've already been told no alcohol at the reception. The last wedding I went to like that was an absolute bore, not that I think you have to have a drink to have fun, but it sure makes it easier to relax and enjoy.

Come to think of it, until now, I really didn't pay attention to the fact that they don't throw the boquet or any of that, is it because they think it's a superstition? How ridiculous, just another one.

I like your idea jgnat, very good suggestion!

Please help! Child custody

by Cindyrenee in

i am looking for the book the sociey gives to help witnesses with custody cases.

found one link, but could not get it to download.

thank you so very much.

If I were you, the next time one of them says that they were spanked with a spoon, I would call DSS, Department of Social Services and tell them. They will have to investigate. If there is one mark on a child, it is considered child abuse. I hope someone hits those 2 on the head with a wooden spoon after this is all over and see how they like it, that is aweful, so sorry to hear....

Yeah, I have to agree with that. It's not just the building itself, but the fact that it will be filled with all the fake people at the fake people building. Brings back all the memories of lies, deciete, back stabbing, etc.

Thank you all! And Mike, I wish I could get her to switch to you to DJ! LOL

She and I are pretty tight. But then, my exit was only 12 months ago, I guess the tension is still fresh. I think I'm going to do what rebel8 suggested, LOL, skip wedding ceremony, have a couple shots of liquor, have dinner at the reception and split. Sounds like the best way to do it. I actually found out now that a very good friend of my ex hub is going to do the photography also, more and more from my congregation. I actually told her if there were anymore from mine coming, I absolutely wouldn't come

If JW's could have secret ballot or poll in the KH-

by moshe in

i wonder what would happen if jw's could have a secret ballot/poll in their kh's?

would they vote to eliminate field service requirements?-yes, i think.

three hours of meetings during the week?- voted down shunning?- voted down blood transfusion penalty?- gone,too others?.

Chimene

I know of a woman that donated a kidney to her mother, and they did the transplant. They say it was ok because the kidney was drained of all blood. Wasn't the actual organ created in the mother's womb by blood? It doesn't make sense does it? I guess that's just another double standard. And of course, nothing was done to them, still active Jdubs
