  Weird things JWs can't own or wear

  by lilbluekitty in

  2. beliefs

  also posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.

  (some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).

  obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.

  This is the wt intepentation of this account. It just so happens that the interpetation serves wt interests of keeping everyone obedient. This way when they later say donate this or donate that because it pleases Jehovah the flock will say "OK!". After all many ahve been seving for years/decades and dont want all those years of dedication to be rejected because of noncompliance in another area.

  i'm wondering if all women are like this.

  my wife is always saying she doesn't have any shoes to go with this or that.

  right now we're getting ready to go on vacation.

  Do the Governing Body members ever go Door-to-Door?

  2. beliefs

  in his book, in search of christian freedom, ray franz wrote that that gb members for the most part never participated in door-to-door work.

  they were "too busy with more important things.

  " (gee, how come that excuse wouldn't work for the rest of us?

  The GB are called heavys by bethelites. It means they have heavy resposiblites. They dont have time for door to door work. Even if they did no one is home now a days. Most are at work. But then agian with the economy the way it is maybe the door to door work will make a come back agian.

  Is The WTBTS' View Of Homosexuality Softening?

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  or at least the public may be given the impression that jws and the wtbts are fair minded and do not discriminate against the homosexual lifestyle.

  check out this quote from the nov 1, 2011 watchtower (public edition).

  the article on page 4 is entitled 'ten questions about sex answered'.. question 8: does god approve of homosexuality?.

  Are JW's allowed to be bartenders?

  by stillstuckcruz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my brother(ms) just got a job at a hotel and mentioned to my mother that they may train him to be a bartender.

  she said that we(jw's) are not allowed to do so.

  is this in any of the publications?

  No there is nothing in the literture prohibits it. But there are jobs that dont mesh with the JW life style. I was offered a job as a limo driver but the older ones told me it was not a good idea. What about a job as a bouncer? I dont think so.
