  I look forward to seeing the adaptation, having read the book. The JW thread is a minor part of the storyline, which is just as well, as Zadie Smith has obviously never met a JW, and did not bother to do any research into the lifestyle and beliefs of JWs. She threw in some buzzwords - Watchtower, Kingdom Hall - but most references to JWs bear no resemblance to reality. This is a work of fiction, but, if you are going to use JW characters, why not bother making it accurate?

  Here's another one - see if she can tell you why she should not be dating you if you are not a JW.

  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELDERS AND OTHERS

  by minimus in

  elders have the right to talk to disfellowshipped ones.

  the average jw can't.

  elders can call you for a judicial meeting and charge you with anything.

  Rebound Relationships

  2. relationships

  i really don't know where to start with this....it's so personal, and i'm so confused.

  when i left bethel, i was a basket case, and married my first wife while i was still in mental/emotional limboland.

  i loved her from the bottom of my heart (as best i can imagine what that means), and meant what i promised "till death do us part.

  Hmmmm. I know what you mean. I hear a lot of stuff about how important it is to know yourself, love yourself, etc. with regard to pursuing relationships, basically inferring that you have to be able to function happily and be content on your own in order to have happy and functional (as opposed to disfunctional) relationship. I am not convinced.

  I have not spent very long as as adult when I was not in a relationship. That is not to say that much of the time I spent in those relationships I was happier or better off than the good times while I was single. What I mean is that I think that it is natural to enjoy, want, need to have someone else in our lives. I do not believe that self knowledge and self respect gained as a single person is in itself more worthwhile than self knowledge and self respect developed while in a happy, loving relationship.

  Your previous two relationships lasted a total of 26 years. Do you look back on all those years with regret, not taking any joy in your shared life with these people? I hope not. Just because a relationship has ended, should not infer that it was never worthwhile.

  So, now there is someone new. Exciting! Why not enjoy your new romance? You do not have to make a massive commitment, your new friend should understand if you don't feel ready. That does not mean that you can't enjoy your feelings for each other. See what happens. If it lasts, great.

  If you are open with this person about your past and present feelings and fears, then you are not setting them up for a fall.

  All the best, Craig!

  How very sad.

  It is impossible to know whether this young woman could have survived if the Watchtower had allowed her to have the full benefit of medical treatment. It is just such a shame that her final months were spent under such trauma, with her family torn apart. Very, very sad.

  .

  i just saw a dub at lunch time, in manhattan, on a busy street, looking like a human magazine rack.. .

  my question is, did you ever get embarrased standing in such a public place?

  The Earth Summit/USA/ a 'Christian' Democracy?

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone been following events at the 2002 earth summit on sustainable development?.

  question.. if, just supposing that the united states of america was totally true to it's collective overall 'spirituality', would it be able as a country, to live up to the dictates of the country's own conscience, in acting out truthfully in accordance with what god himself expects of them to provide, to the best of their abilities, i.e.

  really trying to do something about it all, rather than, side lining, procrastinating the big issues, whilst at the same time, being the largest consumeristic polluters of natural resources on the planet?.

  Good Point Mark!!

  Yes, I would be prepared to accept a drop in standard of living, but I am not a multimillionaire President with a huge interest in preserving the US oil and gas industry.
