  i was wondering about the jw attitude towards getting tattoos.. redditors suggest that the only jws who have them would have got them before they were baptised.. jw.org gives a meally-mouthed "true christians wouldn't" response.. but no-one (that i've seen so far) answers the question i'm actually asking: is getting a tattoo after being baptised a disfellowshipping offence?.

  if not disfellowshipable, how would a typical jw congregation treat someone who got a tattoo after baptism?

  would they really treat it like it is a conscience issue?.

  Stictly forbidden? They say to consider what the Bible says, but it doesn't at any point say you cant. You call it cherry picking rules, but it's not stated as a rule in the first place. Do your homework before you lash out with ignorance.

  I'm speaking of real life experience. You are just making assumptions. Most of what you stated started with "if". How do you really know then? Gobble up the lies if u want to.

  Carla, I have a tattoo from when I was 15. It has never disqualified me to become a publisher, going out in service or anything else. My sister has hand tattoos and it never held her back from being a Jehovahs Witness. Sorry, but your comment is incorrect.
