  I want a "No Blood Card"!

  by Bee in

  2. medical

  ok, first off, let me make it clear that i'm no baptized jehovah's witness.

  i studied for about 2 1/2 years, and was a publisher for about half the time.

  i don't attend meetings, because..well.... i haven't yet summoned enough courage to ask forgiveness for my many wrong-doings.

  i am going away for awhile to try to heal my heart.

  Is marriage over ?- UK looks at extending similar rights to co-habitees

  by Qcmbr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i (ironically) have just sat discussing some of the implications of extending rights normally associated with marriage to co-habiting couples (rights such as division of assets and right to maintenance payments etc..) following hot on the heels of two big wins for very rich divorcees that change uk law (for very high earners) which makes marriage far less financially desirable for a rich person and looking back to such landmark changes such as the abolition of the married persons tax allowance does there seem any point or hope for marriage?

  it also seems a bit unfair to those who decided not to get married (for whatever reason) to suddenly be married in all but name.

  thoughts?

  The Challange of Faith

  by truth_be_told in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stumbled on this site dong some research, i post now only for those you have not sinned against jehovah's holy spirit, since only jehovah knows this, some value might be taken form this.

  i currently serve as the service overseer in my congregation, i have been an elder for over 10 years.. the fundmental issue that challanges every jw faith at some point are the imperfections of the wtbs, & those that take the lead sometimes make huge errors.

  as a third generation jw with a huge network of elders, i have heard many bad things about those that take the lead.. some of these have effected myself and my family, this is the test, no different than what job faced, but it is more on the emotional and mental level.
