one thing that the witnesses promote is how they are different from the rest of the world.

in your personal experience , did you find that you could trust a witness more than you could a non-jw?

NEVER MEET ALONE WITH A SISTER!!!
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
do you know why the society says this?

regardless of whether the meeting is for the purpose of shepherding, sharing bible advice,or simply giving encouragement, "she could develop romantic feelings for the elder.it is possible for an elder to develop improper feelings for a sister he is comforting or counseling.

it is especially important never to meet with a sister alone when the sister being assisted has been a victim of abuse, suffers from depression,or for any other reason is in a delicate emotional state.a woman in such an emotional may be more vulnerable and may be prone to develop improper feelings toward an elder meeting with her.

How Common is this amongst JW's?
by stevieb1 in
1. jw
2. experiences
i found this material on a pro-jw newsletter, and i've had this personal experience myself and know many others who have also.

before i became a jw i experienced a tremendous amount of "love" from the congregation i associated with, but once baptized they leave and move on to the next potential convert.

as a single person, i was never invited out to gatherings very much and always felt a little left out in the very clique-ish congregation that i attended.

dubs like to speculate.

about almost everything: how life will be in the new world ordertm, how and when armageddon is going to happen, whether the latest newspaper headline really signals that armageddon is about to start, what the latest new lighttm is going to be, and on and on.. so heres something to also speculate about.

suppose that jehovah paid a personal visit to the wts leaders and said, .

i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.
