If the wedding is in a church you are committing interfaith. If you go to the reception you are socializing and/or eating with disfellowshipped ones.

IF BETHEL MONITORS this board what are they saying
by minimus init's been said many times that bethel monitors this board.
if they do, what do you think they're thinking?
do you think this board could cause a staunch bethelite to question things?

I would have to say I'm with Rizo on this one. The first step is getting to the information. The second step is having the brains and the courage to follow through with what you have learned. No one needs to tell you what to do. You already know in your heart.

Shame on You Jehovah's Witness Parents
by professor inif you are a jehovah's witness parent i would like to say something to you.. shame on you!.
shame on you for belonging to an organization of men who teach you that your children and your family should be less important to you than obeying their words, just because they claim to speak for god.
shame on you for not remembering that loving and caring for your family should be your first priority.

That is not addressing the ROOT CAUSE of the problem.
You are correct. However, it was not my intent to do so in this post. Here I would like to show parents that they have a resposibility to protect their children and children around the world. Giving the Society money, going door to door with their message, and offering up your children to the Watchtower, all of this fuels the organization. Without any of this, the organization would not exist and these evils would not occur.

Shame On You!
Shame on you for belonging to an organization of men who teach you that your children and your family should be less important to you than obeying their words, just because they claim to speak for God. Shame on you for not remembering that loving and caring for your family should be your first priority.
Shame on you for taking part in covering up for pedophiles. It is you who did not believe a young child who had the courage to ask for help and to be protected from a rapist father. By being a part of this organization, you have returned a young, scared child to a home to be raped again and again by a man who has already confessed to doing so.
Shame on you for partiking in the death of children who could have been save if you had not denied them proper medical treatment. Shame on you for letting the Watchtower convince you not to look into the facts. If you had, you would have known that the Watchtower Society has killed in the past due to other murderous medical policies in their history that have been changed and then swept under the carpet.
Shame on you for shunning your children and other family members who have chosen not to be part of this sick Society of false prophets. You are the most important person in their life. They need you and yet you cast them off because they have left your organization of men. You may never be able to make up for the pain you have caused.
If you have this information but still remain, you are knowingly taking part in the destruction of families and the death and rape of children. Shame on you for not protecting your own children from this destructive organization, and shame on you for helping the Watchtower destroyl and scar the lives of children around the world. Whatever comfort you have found in the words of these con artists or those who follow them, you are selfish to put that ahead of the care of your children.

Spidermonkey,
How can you say humans are perfect? What about children who are born deformed or diseased? Did they get a chance to 'act perfect'? The very fact that they have no control over such things such as genetics is in itself an aspect of human imperfection.

haujobbz,
Trust is very closely related to love as trust and love go hand in hand. Do you trust yourself? Do you love yourself? When you speak of trusting someone, do you mean you trust that they will never do anything wrong or anything to hurt you? If so, do you think this is a reasonable expectation?
In our relationships with each other we will always do things to hurt each other. Sometimes trust has to be rebuilt. Give people a chance, otherwise you will miss out on love and that is the most important thing in life.

It is Impossible to Abstain from Blood and Live!
The Watchtower Society's unusual interpretation of abstaining from blood to include human blood transfusion has several major flaws. One is this:
We Can't Abstain from Blood. We Would Die!
Did you know that blood is transferred in several different ways from a pregnant woman to her unborn fetus? Since Jehovah's Witnesses believe that life begins at conception and that an unborn fetus is a human being, all baptized Jehovah's Witness wives who become pregnant should be immediately disfellowshipped for giving blood!
Any human being who has ever been born has already taken blood! Why? Because God made us that way! So, why would God make a law that contradicts the way He has created us? Very simply, He wouldn't. The Watchtower's interpretation of the Bible laws on blood is just that, their interpretation. Unfortunately, this interpretation allows children to die unnecessarily when God's example through creation tells us something different.
Blood is a primary component of our bodies. It is impossible for us to abstain from it in the way that the Watchtower Society demands. The entire idea goes against the way God designed us!
Also, consider Jesus' example here.
I believe the Watchtower Society is guilty of taking blood in an entirely different way. That is from Jehovah's Witness deaths due to this and other botched medical policies from years past.
I would say the majority of Jehovah's Witnesses of today are not aware that the Watchtower Society also used to ban vaccinations. This misconceived idea caused deaths. PEOPLE DIED, plain and simple! Then the policy was changed with no apologies. This from an organization that is supposed to be God's channel on earth? I think not.
Many families were fooled by the Watchtower in the past and death resulted. To quote an old saying "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Imagine! The Witnesses already were wrong on medical policies in the past and caused deaths. And yet people still hold on to the blood ban. Why? They are uninformed. That is one reason that this site and others like it are so important.
