  Memorial policy. Is that true all over?

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was interested in the post earlier today, about how the 'emblems' were not passed to the disfellowshipped people at the memorial.. does anyone know if this is the policy now, or was it an isolated incident?.

  my husband, a former elder, said he had never heard of that being done before.

  but we've been gone for 4 years too.. marilyn (aka mulan).

  My Dad called

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other day i sent my family a framed studio photograph that i had made for them.. i called to make sure they got it and my mom said that she did and that it was placed with the other family photos in the living room.. a few days later my dad called to thank me.

  he then went off into a tangent about how he wants me to come back to the "truth".

  i told him that i respect his right to believe as he will, but i expect the same in return.

  DO JW'S ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO GO ON CLASS TRIPS?

  by Darkhorse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi, have a question (i am not a jw).

  is it unusual for a jw to allow their children to go on school class trips to washington d.c.?

  because of their beliefs, i would think going to d.c. on a class trip would be a no-no.

  hello

  by maxwell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm a jehovah's witness who's doubts about god have been kinda forced to front by some adulterous acts on my part.

  i don't really feel the the jw's are dangerous presently, at least not any more than any other religion.

  i do feel the urge to free myself from it and my marriage within the week.

  did any of you read the entire bible once...?

  by Richie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to know if any of you have read the entire bible?

  - i remember that it was mentioned in the congregation many times that this would be a requirement that we were to read the bible in its totality at least once and especially as elders!.

  i myself never had the time (or energy) to read the scriptures from cover to cover.
