  I Was Asked To Perform A Marriage Ceremony But Don't Know I'm Qualified

  my girlfriend's daughter and her fiancee asked me to marry them last night.

  they live in connecticut and will be married in new york.

  i felt honored that i was asked but i don't think i can do it because i am not a clergyman or minister and my u derstanding is that only clergy or judges and lawyers and justice of the peace can perform a wedding ceremony and marry a couple.. does anyone have any information on this subject?

  Gregor: "...........as long as you get the licence ($)." Precisely! Pay the money for the licence and a monkey can perform the ceremony. No disrespect Minimus

  I completely agree that the doctors involved are inexcusable. However, she might be alive to sue the bejesus out of them and the hospital were it not for the doctrine.

  The hurt and anger is often associated with how long and how much was lost to the Borg. Hubby definitely made more difficult sacrifices than I. The choice not to have children hurts him the most and now it's too late.

  Would YOU Have Refused Blood To Remain Faithful To Your JW Beliefs?

  by minimus in

  i believe that most witnesses would refuse blood to show their faithfulness to jehovah's law on blood transfusions....( that sounds silly, huh?).

  Very sorry to say I'm positive I would have refused blood for myself and my children while they were young. However, when the WTBT$ started allowing fractions, it really threw me. At first I thought they were being too leinient and refused fractions on my blood card. Later when hubby and I stopped attending we didn't receive the cards and we didn't ask for them. At that point, there is a good chance we would have accepted whole blood. By the time we were mentally out our cards were several years old and we threw them in the trash where they belong.

  Thanks sloppyjoe2, Magnum and finally awake. Hubby and I left after nearly 6 decades of sacrifice and servitude. He realized there was somthing seriously rotten in Watchtower before I did, but once I did, I ran with it faster than he, partly because I have more free time to read and think. I talk incessently about the subject especially the funny stuff- It keeps me sane and from crying. He doesn't want to be reminded every day because he is bitter, angry. and touchy. It's like a very bad sunburn and I keep unintentionally rubbing it.

  Hi everyone! Today I was reminded that just because both of us left the WTBT$ we are not always on the same page. This could be because of our very different personalities I guess. Still, one would think discussions of the Borg would not lead to arguments but often they do. Is this true for you? Does one of you want to talk or read about "apostate" topics more than the other? Does one of you just want to leave most all thought and discussion and move on? Is one of you more angry? Do these differences cause arguments? Thanks!
