New Light: Don't hold hands during prayers

by RR in

from the watchtower november 15 study edition.. 19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

" (1 pet 2:17) there may be a proper time and place for some actions that would be inappropriate at a christian meeting.

(eccl 3:1) for instance, suppose someone sought to have all in a group link arms or hold hands during prayer.

The visiting non-JW perspective on this?

Looking around and seeing nobody touching each other is a visual affirmation of the coldness that is already felt. In many denominations, service is interrupted about halfway through to give everyone an opportunity to greet each other, exchange hugs and return to your seat.

This would be perceived as absolutely awful.

Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing

by David_Jay in

since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

Randall’s mom, Eileen, spoke up. “You’re Jehovah’s Witness is showing,” she said.

Social faux pas... it happens. Be grateful you were around people who loved you. :)

Sincerely,

A non-jw

There is nothing more horrible than the murder of a beautiful theory by a brutal gang of facts.

How convenient today's wt very stealthily leaves out df ones as your neighbors

Holy cow.

I mentioned that I had heard that this WT article further separated the JWs from others and got my head verbally ripped off.

Was told that I was destroying the relationship and their walk with God. They had left the KH feeling good and now they don't feel good and that I was responsible for bringing them down. Was told that anyone else's walk was their problem.

Wow.... the love of a JW towards his/her neighbor.
