  Age Appropriate Friends

  we have a 25 year guy in our hall who is also a pioneer (which means he lives off his parents money), who likes to spend a lot of time with a 16 year old girl in the hall.

  it is usually in a group setting but he seems to gravitate toward her.

  he even has her auxilary pioneering , which is something i don't think any student trying to make the grades needs.

  Surely there should be a safeguarding officer.

  Is there no safeguarding policy to report anything that you find suspicious or worrying?

  so i went to a christmas evening candlelight service tonight and it hit me.

  i was primarily doing christmas since leaving the jw for the children.

  lots of people do it for family without really thinking of the relevance.

  A very mixed bunch , some obviously gained wealth from being authors and nothing is said in the article about any ' good works ' that they might do with their money .

  Others who have mega wages from the donations of church members.. mmm not sure about that .

  Certainly donations to churches in the UK are nothing like those in megachurches in the US . They are mostly used for building upkeep ( many UK churches, like mine , are very old ) . Also we pay for our Parish administrator and give donations to charities.

  I'm wondering if they don't make much ( if anything) of the circumstances of Jesus's birth because they point to the Holy Spirit being His Father . So that coupled with the first 14 verses of John's Gospel kind of support Trinitarian teaching .

  Off course it's also that not celebrating Christmas keeps JWs separate from other denominations.

  So maybe l am way off in my speculation.

  Do JWs talk about Jesus's birth at all ? I know that they don't celebrate but are the events of the Nativity taught by JWs ? Or is Jesus's birth just ignored ?

  Journeyman , may l ask how you think 'churchgoers ( and their clergy ) ' miss out on what the Bible says about Jesus's life now as an enthroned King ?
