odd question. she rejected you because she is a jw. very true that most jw's will not marry outside of the faith. however, they do not date outside the faith either. not that it is my business, but were you in a committed relationship? I would answer yes if you were wanting to pursue marriage, but i have heard of stranger things. to answer your question though, she most likely would not marry outside the 'faith' but then again, probably wouldnt date either. I would think that at this point, her guilt for having a relationship with a 'non-believer' would probably leave her with torn emotions. most jw's are concerned with appearances, so if she married a non-believer she would be viewed negatively by others for some time to follow.

All right, do JW's REALLY do not marry outside of their faith?
by dgp ini've been a lurker in this site for some time.
i am not a jehovah's witness, but was here because i wanted to know more about the organization, since i am in love with a jw woman.
she recently rejected me, on the grounds that "she would not risk her relationship with jehovah for someone who would die in (snap fingers)".

Generation Change
by garlic81 ini know there was an article on john barr's comments at the annual meeting this year.
i've posted the reference below.
i'm wondering if they are thinking of changing the belief back to that some annointed alive in 1914 will be alive when the tribulation starts?

i think i am more confused now than ever before. what i take from it is that the big day will start at some point in time that the ones who see it will be ones who knew ones who were present in 1914, right? so if i was 23 and anointed during 1914, and i died at the age of 89, that would have meant i died in 1980. if someone else was 35 and part of the anointed in 1978, that would make them 66 today. because the one who died in 1980 and the one who was anointed in 1978, they crossed paths. this means that even if the one who is 66 today lives till he is 96, we could ideally have 30 more years. mathematically, you can say that they just bought themselves 30 to 50 years. now that is job security.

i get calls and drop bys all the time. i usually let it go to vm on all calls that are unknown to me. if i do not recognize the number i will not answer. i get text messages also but i dont return those. the drop by is a little difficult. not much i can do other than live my life and ask that they call before they come over and then say now is not good time because i have something going on that needs to be handled immediately.

kids in the hall
by rockmehardplace inno, not the comedy.
i see alot of parents at the kingdom halls - and more than one that i have been to - that pass their children off to other people in the kh all the time.
are the children supposed to be with the parents and not with other people?

no, not the comedy. i see alot of parents at the kingdom halls - and more than one that i have been to - that pass their children off to other people in the kh all the time. are the children supposed to be with the parents and not with other people? is that the instruction that is always given? i even see elders doing this. there was an elder meeting once just to talk about this problem and yet no more than two meetings later, some of the elders were allowing it to happen again, with their own kids. not that there is a point to this post, i was just irritated by someone asking my wife to watch their kid because they really felt a talk was going to be for them.

today was an odd day for me. i was on my way to work and stopped for a quick cup of coffee and went into the local coffee chain establishment. to my surprise, there was two couples from the kh talking at one of the tables. i said a quick hello, moved over to get in line and order. i could overhear the couples talk about a young sister who married outside of the org. they were saying that the husband is inclined toward jehovah and the meetings but she pushes him away. they were talking about her lack of obeying the headship rule. this coming from two of the biggest breakers of the headship rule. best of all, i know this young girls husband, he works for a relative of my wife's. i know for a fact the reason he does not go to the kh is because he thinks most of the people are gossip hounds and very unfriendly once you get to know them. he is right. so i was leaving and i told them to have a good day and then stopped and was about to tell them why he doesnt come. i didnt. i should have. i also hate the headship rule anyway. funny how blinded people can be to why others have problems with the org.
