as far as i remember, only married couples were allowed to be missionaries.
my jw sister recently told me that single sisters can be missionaries, too.
this sounds too progressive for jws, so i just want to verify it.
For a long time they accepted single sisters as missionaries, as a fact, we lived with one in our missionary-home, from fifth class.
she died in 2009, I read.
This was under Knorr. After the seventies policy changed and they preferred single brothers or Couples.
To tell you the truth, it makes sense. As a home- overseer like I used to be it is like having an extra wife. If you want or not you feel responsible for the safety and health for such a sister.
couple of weeks ago an elder took a young man aside and crawled all over him after the tms for wearing a "skinny" tie.
it was one of those 2 inch wide ties.
nothing bright or scandalous about.
Reminds me of the movie " uitgesloten " , which means Disfellowshipped ...
does anybody know if ray franz ever addressed his thoughts on atheism?
from what i've read, he was a diligent reader of the bible.
if anybody has any info and sources about this, it is highly appreciated.
Onthewayout that is what I liked about Ray Franz. Even though he remained Christian, he didn't preach that if others were not Christians, that they would go to hell. Who knows? Maybe he was uncertain himself about the existence of God.
Well Ray didn't like to preach at all, kept reading his newspaper in his car when he was a CO in the DR, while having the brother doing the biblestudy. To hot you know.
Anyway, it's good news to hear he was a true christian.

after a whole day of listening how to obtain peace , i am not sure if i obtain peace from obeying mosaic law, having a relationship to jehovah though jesus or be baptized and have a direct line to jehovah.
every speaker tries to out bore and contract the other one.
long story short my mom was acting weird, snubbing me, when i tried bringing her grandkids to see her, so i tried again and this time i just went up and hugged her since she wouldn't hug me or acknowledge any affection.
when i released her i immediately saw her annoyed look and asked what?
bang, she unleashes a floodgate of how she's still mad at me for going to another church that believes the trinity.
