i'm new around here, but i've been browsing the site the last few days in hopes of finding the answer to the situation i've been going through, so hopefully you can help me.
i met this girl in highschool, but never really spoke with her until about a year after i graduated.
she's three years younger (however it's legal where i'm from, don't fret) and still a teenager.
Even when she turns 18, 19, 20, 30, 50, whatever, she will only be able to date you if either she leaves the religion or you join it.
If she dates you at 18 she will get serious problems at home and in the congregation.
JW's are a very high control group.

this morning, i received the following email through my website, watchtowerdocuments.com.
i have no information other than what is stated in the email.
(the information provided in the links has been translated into english.).
How can we find out what the penalty against the WT is?
Will they, for example, have to print the full original picture with an apology?

when i was still serving as an elder in the late summer of 2006 in a congregation of jws in socal we received a letter from the "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" (read: the governing body) directing that anyone pursuing a higher education would be disqualified from privileges of service: elder, servant, pioneer, etc.
i remember this quite distinctly because i had just received by ba in education in june a few months before this.
in 2002, i had decided to pursue a degree under the society's then current "it's a personal decision" policy and was quite shocked at their drastic policy change.
luking4change Nice to have you join us, welcome!
You had a choice to make and took a sensible and scriptural path - good for you.
All of these doctrines of men are likely to change again in 5 years anyway, so why disadvantage someone for their entire life just because the current opinion says further education is, for the time being, prohibited.
The Society see university education as an admission of greed, to them there's no concept of any other reason why we would want to be educated, whether it's purely for our love of a subject, to better enable us to get a job, so we can teach the next generation, or whatever. Greed, that's it.
But in the ultimate hypocrisy, when she is qualified the Society would snap her and her skills/knowledge up for their own benefit, as they have done with countless others.

it seems i am going to have to teach people to use a tablet as part of my job and i don't even have one!
any advice would be most helpful please.. i keep reading blurb on amazon etc and now i'm really confused.
what should i buy?
I use android, my wife uses iPad.
I got her the iPad mini because its easier to use, and having used it myself I think its a beautiful tablet - smooth and flawless.
By comparison my nexus 7 android is less simple, the apps less smooth and sometimes less reliable.
Saying that, I'm very happy with my android and prefer its configurabiity.

it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.
by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.
jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .
ok i know some of you are going to mock me but i don't give a shit and you'd better get dafaq outta this thread if you don't beleive in this stuff.. .
so,you ever seen somethin strange?shadow people?felt cold spots?touched by something you can't see?beaten by an unseen force?heard voices/whispers/growls/screams etc?are you sure about it or was it just your imagination?you ever been into the occult?c'mon share your experiences and stories!personally i've never had an encounter with the other side..
This incident is obviously one of those things that cannot be proven or disproven.
I know how I felt at that moment, he knows how he felt at that moment, you know how you feel about that moment.
I'm not going to defend it, there's no point. It's a bit like explaining away the 10 plagues on Egypt.
Appreciate your thoughts on it however, even though they were entirely expected.

Ah, the Usual Activists Doing Nothing Advantageous, with an Uncanny Ability to Deliver No Action.
A few Under Achievers who Do Not Accomplish anything.
What a Useless Alignment of Downright Narcissistic A'holes.

as a jw were taught all about demons but i never had an incident.
my wife believes wholeheartedly says her family including her has had problems with them.
i have met people that even non religious people that say they have experienced a ghost or a spirit.
Focus: Splash - don't be bashful, share with us your belief or delusion. More "genuine" UFOs are upper-atmosphere weather balloons than anything else. What was your demon?
For general merriment and derision, I posted about it a while back

I've had a personal experience so I cannot agree with the 'superstition' comments.
Each to their own, but I believe demons exist.
