by Scott77 in

after watching this traditional / cultural dance below, do you think the elder was right to brand it as unchristian?

if yes, then is there such thing as a 'christian dance'?

i saw a jw girl i used to work with a few weeks back who was married for about 8 years and has 2 children , she was in a right state and told me her husband had just left her for a work collegue and said he no longer loved her !

within a month i see her again and she took him back within a wk of him going to live with this other woman , she told me she blamed herself for not having sex often enough !and they were working on their marriage !

why would you want someone who said they no longer loved you ?

it is pure hell if you stay.....it is pure hell if you leave......very pretty young sister ,,,who came from a "disfunctional home" ....met and eventually married a "nice,,,theocratic" brother...they had 2 kids....

the brothers family was "deep" spiritually....father elder..mother of the annointed class...you get the picture...marriage went to hell in a hurry....

the sister worked at a medical clinic,,,,and eventually fell in love with a doctor...who...also fell in love with her...things progressed "physically" and she was disfellowshipped...the doctor wanted to marry her...

end result....elders forced her not to marry the guy....if she did,,,she would be "out" for many years...maybe would't get into the new system...lose her kids,,,etc...they did not get together...she was disfellowshipped for over 2 years....the exhusband...almost immediately started dating a sister in his hall that he had "eyes" for even while married....wasn't long,,,and he married her....

the young sister,,,,at least at the time of me leaving was very alone...she was "soiled" by witness standards,,,,and stayed in the organization...she more than likely will be alone until she dies....the young sister was from my hall,,,and just a gem of a sister....
