well i was invited to a convention one time (the nov 6th one) and well i was going to bike there (biking is my main transportation) well it was unacceptable for me not to wear a suit or at least dress pants and dress shirt. well i was going to bring kakhis and a decent shirt to go with it because they do not crumple easy in my backpack. but that was unacceptable.

Is manner of dress more important than respect for Jehovah?
by LaurieM inmy mother and i were discussing the fact that she was told by a minister of the jehovah's witnesses upon being asked whether mother was going to be attending a book study at her local kingdom hall and mother requested whether she could wear slacks she was told that it would not show respect to jehovah and that women in the kingdom hall should "dress appropriately" by wearing skirts or dresses.
after discussing this, my mother and i feel that the manner of dress of a jehovah's witnesses, whether man or woman is totally irrelevant to respect to jehovah god.
clearly, even if one were to present themselves at hall in rags, that person is not disrespectful to jehovah if his mind and heart are open to god's word.

Happy Birthday ringo! I agree with oldflame. But, oldflame, that is very interesting. But I am confused, so basically scofeild just translated the greek/hebrew to english and no organization 'approved' of it? And just for an extra tibit of information they mentioned that the NIV is not good for research?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201:8-18;&version=31; I showed my JW friend those verses. It works with JW altered bible also. At first God is saying that he is the alpha and the omega (first and the last) then in verse 17-18 Jesus says that he is the first and the last. so this makes Jesus and God have the same age. Therefore Jesus is apart of the godship, or Jesus is a false god. My friend did not have an answer, she said she has to 'look into it'. I bet this passage has been brought up before. I wonder what reply JW have to say about it.

No Resurrection For Disfellowshipped?
by ThomasCovenant insorry if this has been covered already.. 1) what is the written policy about disfellowshipped ones having a resurrection?.
2) what if the disfellowshipped one is d'd for apostasy?.
reason i ask is an ex elder who was disfellowshipped for apostasy is very ill and may very likely die soon.

Thanks for the welcome! I looked for the answer in the bible and saw that passage. it means a lot! I think the WTS say that the disfellowshipped just die. But i don't know much, can you clear it up?

Does he still believe in Jesus? If so, then he will have eternal life. (john 3:16)
