  Renee, I'm not sure that 'many' marry outside the congregation, but some do. I married outside of it twice so that I could keep the Elders out of my marriages. Both marriages were full of ups and downs, but I don't regret either one. They were what I needed at the time.

  Can you list the positive points of being a JW as against the negative points of being a JW in your experience ?

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  i was a twenty y/old when i converted to the jw religion and was a problem drinker and i was a chain smoker .when i was baptized at a circuit assembly a year later , my conversion and change in lifestyle was given as an example of the effectiveness of incidental witnessing to the audience.. so i can point to the 2 positives becoming a jw .. 1.i gave up smoking.

  2.i gave up drinking for a while ,but because i still had association with my wife`s and my family who were not jw`s ,i learnt to control my social drinking when i started again.. and i have been a responsible drinker ever since ,even though i left the religion 29 years ago.. the negative points of being a jw in my 32 years of being one ?

  are far too great to list here .. love to hear your thoughts..

  The most positive points are having personal relationships with the Creator of the universe and His son. The worst negative point is having to deal with His earthly org who half the time don't know what they're doing.

  None. I prefer my own cooking. That way I know what I'm eating.

  Ukraine has nothing to do with Armageddon. There are still many prophecies in Revelation that need to be fulfilled before Armageddon comes. I believe Armageddon is at least several years in the future.

  "I am not a criminal" sounds like "I am not a crook". (Nixon)
