  Can someone help me understand how this young man thinks?

  by camicia in

  my daughter is unbaptized but is recognized as jw since she goes out door to door.

  a baptized brother in high standing took some interest in her (staring, flirting, hanging about, hugging while intoxicated then keeping his distance before going back again and then withdrawing again ) and she ended up getting emotionally attached to this jerk & let him know.

  in between long drawn out silences he turned her down, saying "i don't know you" though he'd had long conversations with her (though would ignore her the following day after they had any close alone time) she said "all the jw stuff aside, did you ever like me as well?

  Question about unbaptized publishers

  by camicia in

  2. beliefs

  my daughter has been an unbaptized publisher for several months and has decided this religion is not for her.

  i tried to tell her before she got involved that it isn't but she had to learn this on her own.

  she doesn't want to be an unbaptized publisher anymore, but hasn't committed any sin to be removed.

  Can a non JW attend JW Weddings?

  by camicia in

  hi all, i've posted here before about my daughter's desire to get baptized as a jw and me attempting to prevent that, and the worst has happened: she's fallen in love and going full steam ahead with this thing.

  i won't bore you with my feelings on the matter, if she's happy, i'm happy (and i really hope she's happy) but it just crossed my mind: if my daughter and her husband are jw's, will her family be able to go to the wedding?

  what about socializing in general?

  Double Lives of JW Youth

  by camicia in

  2. beliefs

  i posted a lengthy concern a while back about my 23 year old daughter on the verge of baptism.

  the good news is she still hasn't progressed past studying - no door knocking thank god.

  the bad news is she's still studying, attending meetings, etc and i am still very much a "satanic influence.

  Is there no hope? (daughter getting baptized)

  by camicia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm really distraught about the fact my 23 year old daughter is ready to abandon a potential career in writing where her talent lies, and become a jehovah's witness.

  i banned the study being held in our home, but it only hurt my relationship with my daughter, who screamed at me "i pay to live here and i'm not hiding, you're sabotaging my relationship with god!

  " so i gave in.

  Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.

  the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .

  what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.
