just wondering about witness weddings and what is and isn't acceptable these days.
i know that toasts are a no-no, but i'm wondering about other things, such as:.
is it ok to have a best man?.
The person giving the wedding talk is supposed to quiz the bride and groom whether or not their courtship was *chaste*.
If the KH is used ALL in the wedding party must be in *good standing* including private reproof.
Don't know about confetti but I attended a JW wedding where the guests were given little vials of bubbles. The kind with the wand you blow through. It was a first for me. (It was held outdoors).

Stuck, You beat me to it.
Tiki, Bad as it sounds, as a kid I would rather have sung Kingdumb songs instead of the impossibly horrible "Let God Be True" forced on me.
Blondie, Wow, those are "golden oldies" I remember well!
Forward Go (forward go)
fearlessly go (fearlessly go)
Turn the battle to the gate

Follow the greater Jephthah who cannot fail
following him, we will prevail.
All sung and played in 4/4 march time LOL
dear all, need some advice .
in my country one can get dfd for pretty much anything the bullies want to df you for.
but is there any specific guidelines that state one can or cannot be dfd for marrying a non witness.

About 10 years ago a sweet 40 something widowed sister from my cong was DFed. Let me give some of the facts so it can be known how heartless elders can be.
The sister had been married to a brother and had 3 lovely baptized children. He was killed in a car accident coming home from the KH. The family was devastated. The sister was practically catatonic for years. Then at work she met a nice "worldly" man and they went bicycling a few times. Someone saw her with him on the bike trail and reported her to the elders. They called a JC committee.
She told the brothers she had done nothing wrong. They said she was dating a non believer and admonished her to stop immediately. She continued to ride her bike.... with him. Thus, more JC meetings where she said "but I've done nothing wrong." She was "unrepentant and walking disorderly" which is why she was DFed.
The silver lining to this story. She married the nice man, moved out of town, never set foot in a KH again and is living happily ever after. :)
ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.
not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.
is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?
Phizzy, Leave it to Watchtower to start allowing people to wear/grow something once it is out of style. LOL

Would it have killed them to say, "Don't behave like the Canaanites." ?
Kinda makes me want to meet the writing committee. It would be interesting to put a face on the Genius who thunk it up. :)
