Also for UK - did your congregation do anything with other congregations?
by truthseeker inhi eveyone, did your congregation ever have organised gatherings with other congregations nearby?
my old congregation rarley mixed.
there was so little social life that we had no choice but to visit other congs.. another question - did you get any counsel if you constantly attended a kingdom hall other than the one you were assigned to?

My emerald cut diamond engagement ring, and earings with amythyst and diamonds, the latest gift from my hubby.
I love rose gold, and have a locket and a couple of bracelets in it.

I could not possibly go out without my nials done, but I always do them myself. I find it relaxing.
My husband has just bought me the fire and ice nail art set from SpecialFX, and the foils are terrific. It also contains a black nail art pen, bindis and transfres. My grandmother who is 90 says blue nails are 'untheocratic' but I can't figure that one out. Check out the websight www.sensualle.co.uk for the best selection of sexy stockings and tights around, yes they even make tights sexy!!!!!!!!

I have tried asking for clarification as you suggested but all I meet with is a brick wall. He made it clear it is a Catholic thing, and he is very catholic, midnight mass etc. He is widowed so I suppose there could be some guilt there.

If you die, you will not be allowed to marry in the new world....(?)
by FreeofGuilt inwell, lets just say this was one of my major hangups when i was w/ the jws.. to think that the one you loved, & were married to, or if you were single never married before, & then making it to the new world not being able to marry again was such a horrifying concept..!
i remember some pics being changed on the front pages of literature, or illustrations being changed inside of literature where once there were a wife & children meeting their father/husband in the graveyard after resurrection, & then they took the illustrations away, with maybe a whole family just welcoming back one of their children from the grave.
well, i asked my mom over & over about this teaching, & she told me to ask the brothers... the brothers said that i would just have to have faith that things would workout in the resurrection, or that the society would get new light about the subject, but that i should never question the faithful & discreet slave.

Francoise,
Guys with shaved heads-yuk!!!!!!!!!!!! Men neeed hair and it'll fall out soon enough. A no.1 cut makes you look aggresive, not u, men in general.

Even Macca's cut his hair now (something to do with the new missus!) so cut it, you'll be glad you did.

My colleague and I had to work in fairly close quarters for the past year or so on a project. This is a man I have known and respected for a long time and certainly have NO sexual feelings for. (I am female). All of a sudden he told me we could no longer work together and since then has cut off all communication routes totally. On investigation I learned that he had developed feelings for me and as a devout Catholic had felt forced to confess them and then cut me out of his life forever. I feel this is very sad, as we worked well together and the problem, if any , could have been overcome by conversation.

But I must say in all honesty that Dan Sydlick struck me as a sincere individual when I met him, whereas others have not.
