  If Your Spouse Told The Elders On U, Is That a Marital or Religious Problem

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if a faithful devout jw saw her husband on a board like this or reading "apostate" literature, if she was so disturbed by her husband's actions and the husband justified himself, would you think that if she told the elders because she was truly concerned that her mate was going to leave "the truth" and ultimately not make it into the "new system", --------that this was simply a marital issue-----not a religious one?.

  your opinions please..

  how does the bible view suicide?.

  a few acquaintances of mine in the "truth" committed suicide and when the memorial talks were given, they were handled very differently.

  at one hall the brother (ms) who took his life....his life was celebrated....there was comfort for everyone.

  My son is talking about joining the basket ball team.

  i really hope that he is able to do so.

  it is so wonderful not being involved with a group that tells you not to do such a thing.

  his dad was on a basket ball team and wrestling in high school, so he's all for it also.

  Jehovah's Witness Children are Kept Alienated from the rest of the world!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower continues to encourage jw parents to alienate their children from people who are not jws and therefore discourage a more balanced view of the world and the people in it!.

  september 15th watchtower, 2007 says on page11:.

  'of course, our children's attitudes can be influenced both for good and for bad.

  Suddenly and inexplicably enraged

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mum showed me this e-mail her jw friend had sent her last week.. in it the friend explained how wonderful the magazines are and how they provide food at the proper time because they had recently had an article in about ' being prepared for the unexpected'.

  the article had told them to have a bag packed with emergency stuff in case they ever needed to leave the house in a hurry.

  so they were told to pack dried food, a wallet with important documents in, waterproof clothing etc.. now this, it seems, was pretty relevant because i live in gloucester where were had terrible floods a few weeks ago, and some peoples houses were flooded out, the entire city had its water cut off for a fortnight because the pumping station flooded, and most work places were unable to allow staff in because they were not able to provide flushing toilets or running water.. so my mims friend was totally blown away by how jehovah is so clever - although having dried food and your passport in a waterproof wallet did nothing to help you flush the toilet for a fortnight.. but - now heres to point of this long and rambling story - i suddenly got super angry about this article and its survivialist mentalilty.

  i have been associated with jw's since birth.

  i raised my kids in the religion....thinking it was the only way.

  recently, my daughter (who was baptized at 15 she is 24 now and has since stopped attending meetings, has been in a relationsip with a man and now has a newborn baby) was invited to a witness wedding and subsequently uninvited b/c she could possibly stumble the jw's who would be attending,since she has had a baby with a non witness and is not married.. .
