  Yes, it's a conscience matter. Some JWs will attend, others will not.

  The Watchtower, May 15, 2002, page 28, Questions from Readers

  In any case, a Christian must carefully weigh all the factors involved. Under certain circumstances he or she may conclude that no difficulties would arise from attending a church funeral or wedding as an observer.

  so i have been having problems with the renters that moved in next door.

  the last 3 months have been a living hell.

  i have an ongoing complaint with the slumlord that owns the property and the city is taking him to court for derelict vehicles next week (which i anonymously complained about, but i am sure i am being blamed for).

  and I hope not to have to use that

  Exactly. I think we all feel the same way.

  Our brains are our most powerful weapons. We avoid trouble, if at all possible.

  scotsman,

  If and when the bullets start flying in your direction, your survival instincts will take over, and you'll toughen up just fine.

  If you are a parent, I have doubt that you would defend your children and never think twice about it.

  After his death, HBO was running his specials, one after the other. I watched several and laughed my butt off.

  Do JW's watch movies in their homes which they would not watch in theatres?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's sometimes speak about how they don't wish to "stumble" non-jw's or cast a bad light upon the organization.

  do jw's watch movies at home which they would not want non-jw's to observe them watching in a theatre?.

  if they do, do you feel that they are really concerned about what the non-jw's think, or are they more concerned with being observed by other jw's?

  Do JW's EVER admit to being wrong about any topic?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  witnesses are trained to believe they are right when speaking about the bible and their beliefs, even when reminded that their beliefs have been "adjusted" for "new light".. .

  do jw's you know admit to being wrong on any point, whether or not bible related, or are the "always right" even when shown to be wrong?

  I've had two brothers, on different occasions, admit to me that, "Yes, sometimes people ARE wrongly disfellowshipped."

  That's about it.
