  Wedding Talks

  a few weeks ago, there was a thread started on jw funeral talks and how horrible they are, but what about those wedding talks?.

  talks that has nothing to do with the couple itself, but an advertisement about how wonderful marriage in jehovahs organization is.

  *eye roll * the worst is when they have to bring up sex in the marriage in a wedding talk *barf*.

  Not about the wedding talk --- but Believe it or not there was a girl that wore a BLACK wedding dress and it was acceptable!! I guess since "white" is a pagan tradition (roll eyes)

  i went to the district convention in san diego.

  i got to see first hand the good, the bad, and the ugly of what transpires at a convention.

  the worst fears of what i was warned about never materialized.

  Ok -- My mom is visiting. I'm reading this site while we chat. I feel slightly guilty knowing how much she believes.......but it does kind of prove a point. what's the point? If non-JW (or apostates or whatever we are now) are evil and demonized --- wouldn't she "feel" satan's presence?!
