  Question for elders about MEMORIAL EMBLEMS...

  by Alfred in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is done with the bread and the wine after the conclusion of the memorial?.

  is it normally tossed in the trash and poured down the drain?.

  if so, wouldn't that be simbolic of throwing jesus' body in the trash and pouring his blood into the sewer?.

  Training us better to talk to people at the doors.

  by life is to short in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok so many of you did not mind sitting and wasting time in a car while out in service because it beat banging on doors and trying to convince someone to join a religion that at least i could not fully explain even to myself much less someone else.

  i agree sitting in a car beat banging on doors hands down.

  but was it not crazy going door to door.

  Giving to Charities

  by Kristina1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i notice the jw's don't really donate to charities.

  when i donated to the earthquake in haiti, my husband didn't really say anything about it.

  silence usually means he doesn't agree with something because of his religious beliefs.

  Are JWs discouraged from seeking mental help?

  by Kristina1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my husband was raised in this religion, but was never baptized and does not go to meetings, although my mil is heavily involved.

  although my husband doesn't practice his religion, he believes it is the truth and i hate asking him questions, because he is very defensive of the religion.

  he and his mother, many years ago before i knew either of them, were treated for severe depression and hospitalized (at different times as a result of them going through divorces.
