  Not one word on how children should take care of their disfellowshipped / disassociated aged parent(s).

  Ha! In Mike and my case, we were the DF'd ones who helped provide for our aging JW momma.

  this was me driving into the parking lot and into the kingdom hall:.

  every week the same brothers and sisters are late getting to the meeting.

  elders are talking with other elders ( who always have notes and folders in their hands).

  What are the best questions?

  by MissyM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what would you say are the best questions to ask a jw which they will not be able to answer and may make them question their beliefs?.

  what (if you are a former jw) made you question the "truth"?.

  and within a month, he has been seeing a 69 year old woman who lived upstairs from him.

  .

  the wife has been sick for a year and she passed away in october.. now, the 80 year old man is like a teenager with this woman, making out in public places with this woman and introducing her to family and friends as his new girlfriend that he "loves".. the father's family thinks this is weird and are concerned about it.. any thoughts?

  The father's family thinks this is weird and are concerned about it.

  The fella has been grieving for his wife ever since she became ill a year previously. Her death was the culmination of all that.

  The fact that he now seeks out the company of another lady is actually a compliment to his dead wife. It indicates that he had a close relationship with her and that he needs to be in a close relationship. Lots of people need that.

  I've seen a similar situation in my own social circle. The only people who couldn't handle it were the much younger generation who seemd to think that the widower's lot was now to be nothing but sackcloth and ashes.

  ..except of course the minute you give any government the authority to kill it's own citizens you invariably finish up with a draconian penal system.

  New Article on BEARDS and Attire of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have had requests to add an article about beards and jehovah's witnesses.

  it is interesting that there is virtually no statement that says a witness cannot have a beard, yet universally they do not have beards.

  i have scoured quotes from all the threads on jwn, all references to beard on the cd watchtower library, and copies of elders letters that i have.

  What about the guy with a sweater and no tie. I'm amazed he was not sent home with a naughty step letter.

  That was a fella by the name of Ben Winterbottom. He was the PO of the Bolton, Lancashire congregation.
